I was wondering if there was anything out there for Halo PC to make the graphics just as good as on Xbox cause I KNOW my computer can run that kinda graphics cause I have everything graphics wise tuned all the way up but it is missing all the beauty from the Xbox. I am sure someone out there must have atleast tried to make the graphics just as good as the Xbox one.

Yes, I am a hypocrite, and I'm sorry. I really do mean well, but I'm not running on all cylinders.

Everytime someone buys a copy of Halo 2 Vista, a puppy dies.

You probably just need a better video card. A lot of people get the "fixed-function pipeline" graphics which look flat and dull.

Well, I can run Oblivion at full graphics level with no problems at all so I REALLY don't think it is my graphics card xP.

Wow, no idea why it looks so bad for you then :(

All of my sins, laid bare.

As someone who is an active member of the halo Custom edition modding community, I can safely say that it is not you. The game looks terrible from ibms to top-of-the-line gaming pc's. The engines flaws have been apparent from the start, as most textures have been reduced to their lowest resolutions and the effects look like a pre-pre-pre alpha for halo 3. So just learn to love it and work with it. And look at it this way: your computer doesn't have to work as hard to put this stuff on the display. So it runs ultra fast.

I don't know what you're talking about, looks just as good as xbox version for me. Better in some cases, like with shiny plasma weapons.

Everything just looks so overexposed in all of those shots. Not exactly a make over worth celebrating for.

If you want shiny, you can always try this, or this.

If you want better textures, you can always find a mod.
