dude, he was just telling you the facts. If your computer has all the newet drivers, and meets the requirements, you should be fine, but you are not so your card must be old. I hate when people start flaming others, especially when those people are trying to help them. I love helping people on these forums, mainly becuase most people are grateful that somebody cared, becuase I know I was whenever somebody helped me when I was still a computer newcomer. So if you dont want help, dont ask for it.

PS- To solve problem, make sure you have newest drivers, are not overclocked, have a compatible graphics card, and (just in case) make sure that your monitor does not have its color turned all the way down. Also, if you have installed any mods, try removing them, or even re-intalling Halo.

thank you for the apology. Your local Best Buy should get in shipments of graphics card all the time. I recommend the PCI Express 6800GS or the 6600GT if you are on a budget. You can get the AGP versions to. If your computer does not have PCI Express or AGP, they it isnt even worth a new card. If this is the case you might want to start saving your money for a new computer.

If you used "cheap" and "budget" in previous posts you have no business thinking about Alienware. They are high-end and high-dollar gaming PC's.

I personally dislike Alienware. The computers they offer are nice, but are way to overpriced. You can usually get a similar Dell or even Gateway computer for a few Benjamins less almost anywhere. Ive also read many complaints about Alienware's tech support forum. So even though I dont like Dell, they are probably the best company that blends price and performance.
take this computer for example http://configure.us.dell.com/dellstore/config.aspx?c=us&c s=19&l=en&oc=DXPS400F1&s=dhs
sure, it may appear weak, but since it has PCI Express slot it is ready for future upgrades. plus it looks nice, so kudos for the style factor.

(I don't mean to post in the wrong place but I need to post here because I'm a new user that can't amke a thread for 24 hours and needs help!)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Whenever I try to go to play Halo online, it takes longer then usual to load up that
window that says "checking for updates..." and when I try to press refresh a window pops up and says "error contacting gamespy master server". Any help?

this can help make your cheifs green. you need halo map tools and you have to be a member of halomods. just apply the skin when you dl it. I have never tried it yet but i think it should help = )
