Subject: Where'd the trial go?

"Everyone, fire at Will!"
"Why? What did Will ever do to you?"

*I have used the searchbar ;)*
Where can I download Halo Trial? I remember downloading it from here , but it's not there anymore. Did they take it down?

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.

Using this Halo CE Trial tends to make the game lag.You can lower your frame rate on your video settings,on the menu or on a game.Set it to 800x600 and 56Hz that's the lowest to set for your frame rate.If it doesn't work,Cancel Download,Uninstall things that you won't need or exit the applications with online connection statuses.

All I ask is that you don't try to capture me.

Halo Trial has been removed from Microsoft's website, after some 7 years of supporting the content. The install app can still be downloaded from filefront as per the link that the first reply provided.

Heaven forbid that we actually answer the OP's question...

Because your stupidity is inevitable,it does make sense you can't even understand really common knowledge you know why?because it doesn't apply to your mind .

That's a really bad assumption to make.I do not know EVERYTHING.Second,Sherlock I am intelligent.I tend to explain simple words sometimes "Big Words" so don't say I'm just a kid or anything.I'm 14,I can take things maturely unlike you,The only Retorts you come up is just Sarcasm and Swear words,They are really useless retorts or "weak" it can't even reach a certain standpoint.Anyways,you can stop going to the forums.I want to be pleasant and all,But when I encounter stupidity or foolishness I tend to argue in a way.This is probably an intelligent retort.If you keep reading posts and keep replying to everyone of them,I'll just proceed to call you a stalker.

Hey Watson, can you turn down a little bit? Oh, and using bigger words (especially when you have no idea what they mean), doesn't make you smarter, it just makes you a moron with a tad bit bigger vocabulary.

I would recommend skipping the trial and trying the real game. People usually experience lag when using trial and is discourages them from trying the actual game which is excellent and has a strong player base. Plus its usually inexpensive at most game stores and cheaper from online stores. If you can afford $20 or less, I'd highly recommend getting the actual game.

Aw man. That's crazy. You can't do that to a wannabe-MLG kid that knows everything though!

Yeah. That's right. I don't have a 50 in H3. I never got Onyx in Reach. If a game sucks too much, I won't even bother trying for such trivial "accolades". Besides, I've done way more things that take far more skill and talent than anything that can be done in a video game.

Careful, Fox. This guy's an MLG Pro. He knows everything there is to know about gaming.

Hahaha! I see that ol' Johnston is back up to his same bag of tricks. And that everyone else is up to the challenge of, well, beating him to death and trapping him with his own words. :D

Time to throw my two cents in.

See, Johnston, what I think Pet0sh was talking about was that your post made little-to-no actual sense. Not that you didn't know about the Halo trial or whatever you wanted him to mean.

Oh, well look, there's your problem... Nearly everything past your first sentence and a half is either wrong, misinformation, or otherwise unintelligible:
Posted by: ItsNOTJohnston

Using this Halo CE Trial tends to make the game lag.You can lower your frame rate on your video settings,on the menu or on a game.Set it to 800x600 and 56Hz that's the lowest to set for your frame rate.If it doesn't work,Cancel Download,Uninstall things that you won't need or exit the applications with online connection statuses.

First off, you'd want to be increasing your framerate. The method you describe (lowest resolution settings) is a way to increase framerate. So is toggling processor-intensive graphical options and/or trying a different rendering system (Direct3d/OpenGL/software rendering). I don't know if those options are in Halo PC, as I don't have the PC version, but if they are, OP, they might help reduce lag.

Second, monitor frequency has nothing to do with network or processor-based lag. It deals with how the monitor displays the data coming from the computer, and it's mainly used to correct screen flicker, either via game or monitor settings. I'd recommend that you keep the frequency at whatever works for you. Again, I don't have the game, but since he made mention of the frequency, I figured I might as well share my counterpoint.

Finally, that last sentence, after careful decoding, actually holds semi-decent advice. However, it's so poorly stated and close to common sense that it's not really all that worth it. Here's a better way of saying it - "If it doesn't work, close any other open programs, try to free up some more disk space, and try again." You'd probably only need to go as far as to close other open programs, though, especially if your computer is anywhere near recent. Unless you keep your hard drive overcrowded.

Anyway, hope that cleared up THAT. Johnston - get an actual life, you twit. Learn when to shut your mouth, apologize, and/or back down. All you seem to do is lie about being so MLG Pro on H2v (which has been, at this point, proven impossible. Say it so much that it has to be true?), lie about how generally knowledgeable, powerful and overall better you are, and make websites and posts in an effort to prove those lies. I mean, seriously, take a couple breaks in your day for something other than when your mom makes you take out the garbage or do your homework, or you feel the need to complain about the mean internet people. Maybe it'd make you a little more MLG Pro at life.

Edited because I bolded the wrong word. That's what I get for some pretty hardcore insomnia... =_=

I was just about to take you seriously. Then you mentioned Halo 2 Vista.

Tell ya what; Choose a REAL PC FPS, and me and Fox will take you and your best buddy-buddy out 2v2.
