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.
On the latest call to MS about H2V controls being stuttery, sporadic at high framerates, the rep acknowledged the problem and suggested I run as many programs as possible while playing the game. So I ran about 50 IE's and cranked up 16x AF and AA @ 1440x900 in a full server. I couldn't driver the frame rate down past 70, but it did help a bit! Unbelievable. He says the framerate hurting the controls is a known issue, and that it's been brought to the attention of the developers.
Did you also know that at high frame rates, your movement speed is decreased? I tried first with forced vsync, which gave 60 FPS, and watched how fast I moved. Then I started again with no vsync and saw that my movement was maybe half the speed as when vsync was on. Isn't that sweet? So, the game is pretty much unplayable for anyone with a high-end machine.
