Hey captain seriously you don't have to sacrifice yourself to kill the scarab. Their actually pretty easy to kill. You just have to jump in the back and shoot this little light. Remember captain from training where they showed us how to kill it? Captain... CAPTAIN... oh god damn it seriously?

I just made a topic about Halo CE for pc and a framerate issue and now ive got one with Halo 2 vista. My problem with Halo CE was resolved when I took decals off and it now runs perfectly. With Halo 2 vista the frame rate is fairly low on every detail setting and every anti aliasing setting. I thought it would be better if I tuned the detail down but not really. I have an Nividia 8200m graphics card, almost 3gb of ram, and an AMD turion dou core processor. Seeing as it was a silly little adjustment for Halo CE to run better I thought maybe I could find a fix for Halo 2 as well.

Yeah, I have bad jerk on Halo 2 with everything up to the max. I've got a pretty good gaming rig. I can play CoD: WaW on max no lag but there is something wrong with Halo 2's fps I don't know what.

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.

H2V is a terribly ported game all-around. Graphics were never optimized correctly, and it's loaded to the brim with bugs. A failure of a game overall.

I doubt you'll get decent framerates on H2V out of your rig. It's not so much your PC's fault, but the game's.

Seriously though are there any tricks or anything that will improve frame rate this is unbearable. It makes no sense to me that the frame rate is just as bad on low quality as high and the controls feel so delayed I cant hit -blam!-. Its very aggravating

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.

The only thing I could do to improve H2V was toggle vertical sync.

50 in H2/H3? Great, but you still fail at this.

The card is integrated, and H2V (and many other games) hate integrated graphics. If you had a desktop, though, you could get a better card.

The Nvidia Geforce 8200 is a low end GPU to begin with. Thats also a problem.

Freedom has two parts: potential and resolution; as metaphors have two parts : form and interpretation; of course, the two are intertwined. Metaphor lines the road to freedom, as symbols and words are the bricks and mortar of meaning. Freedom being the briocoleus, the mason.

It means they didn't bother to include support for a wide array of hardware specifications, so even if you have a decent rig, the software simply may not agree with the architecture of your hardware and how your drivers interact with it. Be sure all your drivers are properly updated, and if you are still having trouble, then you're probably screwed.

Given H2V's graphics, if the game had been ported correctly, a Geforce 8200 would have handled it with flying colors.
