No blood or explosions happen when I shoot or blow things up. Why?
I have all video settings at their hightest and i'm running it on safe mode.
What should I change so it shows blood?

If you don't like how I drive, then stay off the sidewalk!

lol, don't run it on safe mode :)

Safe mode means it disables as much as possible, including decals and particles.

Download GPU-Z to see what your Graphics is.

You may be on an Integrated GPU solution, which is crap.

Is crap a good graphics card ?
Which one do I download?

WTF?

Anyway, you said you had all the video settings at full. Safe mode would have overridden those settings, but when you disabled it they took effect. So turn down some settings and it should go faster.

  • 01.10.2011 12:00 PM PDT

wtf indeed.
Which settings do I turn down?

Yes, I am a hypocrite, and I'm sorry. I really do mean well, but I'm not running on all cylinders.

Everything except decals and particles.

Chances are pretty good that he's using integrated graphics, considering he's on Windows 7 and can't even run it normally.

  • 01.10.2011 6:28 PM PDT

So....how do I get rid of the lag?

Blood is an advanced feature, and is too complex for safe mode. Everything looks horrible in safe mode. Turn it off.

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.

Why is there so much confusion in the thread? His problem is that he's running in safe mode, which has particles or decals off by default.

Here's an article that explains it. Notably, here's a tip if you wanna keep using safe mode:

It is noted that even on safe mode you can turn on blood and particles as well as raising the resolution under the options menu so the game looks normal and runs like safe mode.

The bungie.net community is the halo PC community that is renowned for being unbelieveably sucky.

Because OP is struggling.

I hope the OP isn't trying to game on a netbook.

If your Graphics card is bad, setting it at high won't help. Are all the characters a white color too?
