Just a small tip for players who like playing with Elites or just don't like the sight of blood.

As you all know, when you're near Elite blood, it causes severe lag. And if you like grenade spamming the hell out of Elites, meleeing dead Elite corpses, teabagging and taunting Elites as much as I do, you'll probably find this irritating.

To resolve it, and retain the blood and violence, just go to Settings > Video Setup > Decals and disable Decals.

Now there will be more blood on the walls, the floor, and the ceiling. It disappears just like in Halo 3.

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.

Makes sense, but isn't it less satisfying to prune an Elite and see no blood? "Covenant blood is pretty". I don't get much slowdown on XP with decals on, but I get it on Vista/7.
