I've seen my family fade away, You've taken my whole life left me nothing to say. Sitting in silence with heaven above me i prayed every night by their graves. I search for closure i feel it no longer i can't turn my face away. I stand before you Ive seen what I've had to but now i leave your sight to avenge my family, I've taken my whole life there's nothing left to say.

Whenever I go to play it,
It loads as normal until it starts the adds for gear box andd bungie and such but then it minimizes itself and plays the menu music. Then if you hit enter it gets an exception. I've un installed it and reinstalled it multiple times.

Did you try moving the films from the install folder?

The films are:

bungie.bik
mgs.bik
gearbox.bik

Also, did you try loading it in windowed mode? Add -window to the end of the target.

This is a simple tutorial on how to run it in windowed mode. Hope that works for you.

Something smells fishy...

You could try disabling anti aliasing for Halo using the control panel of your graphics card.

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

Is this a new problem? Have you changed display monitors recently?

Go to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Halo and locate bungie.bik, mgs.bik, and gearbox.bik.

These bik files are the ads you see. Don't delete them. Just move them to your desktop. What this will do is make it so that when you load Halo, it will skip the ads and go to the menu.

Halo might be trying to force a resolution that your new LCD doesn't support and then crashing. If that's the cause, the easiest thing to do is reconnect your old monitor and then set the video settings to default, then try it on your new display.
