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.

What's your budget?

Shoryuken!

Mythic Mode Progress on Reach:
Winter Contingency, perfection.
Other levels in progress.

My friend bought a Gateway for 250 bucks.

I own an MSI GX740 for $1150. It'll run any game on the market cranked. They don't have any in stock at Newegg, but this is a good one too.

Going to need to use UK sites to be of any help to him. Take the US price and slap 30-40% on and perhaps we'll have the cost to him.

I wonder if the Wolf thinks the Moon listens when he howls at it.

If my memory serves correct, the geforce 6200 was a directx 9 chipset and was able to run Halo PC quite nicely, therefore I imagine that if you can find a laptop with an integrated chipset in that range, you might be ok. It never hurts to ask the people at the computer store if you can try your game on it though.
