Subject: Is Halo 2 Vista inherently that slow?

The FPS on it is horrible, no matter what resolution I have it on, I have a good system (4.7 vista ultimate) and I can run all source games 100+ FPS. Did they just over tax the engine for the PC?

Halo 2 Vista was a really, really bad port. It's too bad, somewhere deep inside, there's a game called "Halo 2" in there =[

But yes, I'd have to say that Halo 2 Vista was coded very poorly. And other games I have--which some look way better--have much better framerates than Halo 2 Vista.. I mean, c'mon. This game was ported from the original Xbox >_>

Also the AR is actually good in CQB now and no longer a glorified baseball bat.

You have to remember, H2V was ported by people who have the mental capacity of someone <20. They enjoy potty humor and putting pictures of a hairy ass(butt kind, not a donkey) in a game. :/

Maybe I will never be
All the things that I wanna be
But now is not the time to cry
Now's the time to find out why
I think you're the same as me
We see things they'll never see
You and I are gonna live forever

Works fine for me!

It's acceptable for me, then again it's really my graphics card to blame (nVidia GeForce 8400M, terrible for gaming).

How do you play decently with that thing?

H1 and Halo Custom edition name: madkiller92
xfire:madkiller92

It runs fine on my 8600gt.

I use DX tweaker for a much less laggy version of the "Bloom mod" for Halo 2 vista ,(it's surreal effect with an .xml file, it does EXACTLY what bloom mod does with MUCH less lag for halo 1, 2, or ANY game), play on 1680x1050, 2xAA, 16xAF(forced in NVIDIA control panel), and get 40+ FPS constant.

What?

Edit: Just googled it:
Sauce

From Encyclopedia Dramatica
Jump to: navigation, search
zOMG SAUCE LOL
zOMG SAUCE LOL

Sauce is the term 4chan users have grown accustomed to use instead of the word “source”. It stems originally from a wordfilter on /b/, but gained popularity because "sauce" is more easily typed with one hand than is “source”. This enables /b/tards to quickly whine for the source of an image while furiously -blam!-ing to furry -blam!-.

Because Moot is a weeaboo the wordfilter likely originated from Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex episode 9: "C: The Man Who Dwells in the Shadows of the Net – CHAT! CHAT! CHAT!" (Net no Yami ni Sumu Otoko CHAT! CHAT! CHAT! / ネットの闇に棲む男 CHAT! CHAT! CHAT!). In a virtual-reality chatroom one avatar asks for sources and another mocks them with the phrases "sarce" and "soy sauce".

“Sauce plz” is typically yelled out in ALL CAPS by leechers, usually with a pleading tone and with one or more “ZOMG”s. The expression requests anything related to the source of the previously posted pictures of bestiality lolikon, be it a torrent, a website, a Rapid-blam!- link, or the name of the “artist” – as deranged furry -blam!-s prefer to be called.

With any luck the user will fulfill the request and may even post moar pictures. At this point there is usually semen covering the pores of the right hands of the creeps who were following the thread.

Sauce whining is necessary due to the fact that 4chan addicts are completely incapable of creating original content. The pictures are seldom created by the OP, unless of course they’re a grotesque mixture of hebephrenic MS Paint scrawling with Photoshop cuntpastery. The legality issues of a drawing of a furry toddler being raped by a tentacle demon are never discussed


So, you want a pic?

Run it at 800x600, windowed (makes it less laggy, no clue why), no anti-aliasing, but high level of detail...Campaign runs smoothly for the most part except for the occasional stutter or two, which I've learned to accept after a while.

QFT.
The game was dead even before it was being ported.
It died as soon as Bungie didn't want to port it, and (M$/Bungie) decided HiredGun to make the game Crap.
No chance of resuscitation, as support is dropped. :'( -[Sad face]-
