Anything I should know before I jump into the multiplayer battle ground?

I understand the first two, but the third one? I don't understand.

In all seriousness, you do need to learn how to lead your attacks tremendously for Halo PC. I say attacks because this also applies for plasma grenades (More so than normal) and melee attacks. Due to how the netcode for Halo PC was written, things register a good bit later than they happen with a time length expanded farther the larger your ping is. For a reference to how much you'll usually have to lead you can check out a montage or one of my crappy gameplay vids.

As for the third thing I said, there are a lot of Spanish speaking people who play Halo PC, Halo 2 Vista, and Halo 2 on the tunneling programs. its become quite popular there and due to the over-all economic situation in the countries these people live. They often find the cheapest opportunity the most attractive.

xD Thanks. I've been having some technical issues recently, so, don't expect too many videos. xD

That's fine, i do have to question why are your vids only 480p? Surely an 8500gt can run Halo PC in 1920x1080?

It did, but it didn't go over well with Fraps. I also didn't feel like having such large files to upload to YouTube.

Right now I have a new computer with a Radeon 6870 in it, so, I'll definitely be able to upload 1080p videos with it. I've just got to stop being lazy and download the older version of Windows Movie Maker to put all the film clips together due to how Fraps saves them in 3.9GB clips instead of one solid video. I hate the newer version and I can never seem to save the video correctly through it.

The up to date movie maker is fine for basic editing, i use it for my video's. There were two issue's i had with it, make sure you put the video in a 16:9 aspect ratio (otherwise it wont fill the youtube video box) and you have to create a custom resolution to do 1920x1080 (since movie makers "HD" is 1440x1080...). My video's come out at 300-500mb for a 5-9 minute clip roughly after saving it in movie maker, however my upload speed leaves much to be desired :/

I just can't get over the fact the time line is gone. Each time I try my clips are out of order. I could just retry my most recent video to see how it works out.

Is there a friend system or something? If so, would anyone like to add me when I receive the game?

No, there isn't. However, there is a program called Xfire that allows you have friends, make chat rooms, take screenshots, record video from games, and other stuff. Its pretty cool and works with almost any game.
