okay i have 3 problems and was wondering if you guys could help me

1. i have a pretty bad graphics card and was wondering why i cant see particles in halo ce, i can see them just fine in halo trial and halo pc,but what do i do to see them?

2. i have console and devmode but when i try to do the commands like cheat_all_weapons or cheat_all_powerups it says somthing like cannot be executed at this time. what now?

3. i have a dell dimnsion 2400 about 1 year old and i wanted to know what kind of graphics card that could play halo and half-life 2 for about $100-$150.

Well, for your devmode, you went to the properties and then entered -console -devmode in the target line right after the .exe"? Like so. .exe" -console -devmode

Well, if you entered it like that, then when you enter the cheat ingame. Hold up. Most of those cheats need to be activated, you just cant type them in. So, for example. The deathless cheat. It needs to be activated. So you add a 1 in the end like so. cheat_deathless_player 1

Cheats like the one for spawning a single hog do not need the 1, like so.
cheat_spawn_warthog.

Here is a link to devmode commands.http://www.cortana.org/HEK_Tutorial/references/general/co nsole_commands.html The ones with the 0-1 next to them means you have to put the 1 on the end like I showed you. The ones with N/A mean that you need only enter the cheat. To deactivate a cheat, enter like so.

cheat_deathless_player 0
It will say it was false, but it will have deactivated the cheat.

Your not going to be able to get a good graphics card for under $200. Well you wont even be able to get a decent one for under $200. If you want to be able to have all settings close to high, the cheapest card your looking for is probably the ati x800 xl which costs around $300. The nvidia 6800gt is a very very similar card but costs a little bit more.

If your looking for a card in your price range, try ou the nvidia 6600GT, its a very good mid range card. A good 6600GT costs probably around $150, and will boost your perfomace alot over the stock card you have now.

TMH what are you talking about? I have a 6600GT and can run halo on all high settings as well as halflife 2 on all high. and my 6600GT cost way less than $300.
