Subject: Halo 2 campaign lag

Games I like:,
Half-Minute Hero
MBU
Portal
Halo 3 is the best Halo ever
Maps I like: Turf, Avalanche, Pylon, Sandbox, Breakpoint and many more.

You'll be coughing out another 100, as that PC has XP. No Vista.

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

Everytime someone buys a copy of Halo 2 Vista, a puppy dies.

If you have the Xbox version, I'd really recommend you stick with it, especially if you're only interested in campaign mode.

This is easy information to find, but just to put things in perspective, here is a link to a page that describes the original Xbox hardware specifcations:

http://www.xbreporter.com/xbox_system_specifications.php

There is just no way a game designed to run on that kind of hardware should run poorly on any modern machine, even the one described the OP. Right?!

Halo 2 > Halo 3 > Halo 3 ODST > Halo Reach > Halo CE

Based on campaigns.

I do have the Xbox version but I play it in the 360, however the disk has a few scratches on it so am trying to find a new one

Actually I think I'm going to just uninstall Halo 2
You can rename levels to one of the first 3 levels and play them.

i.e. Rename 08b_deltacontrol.map to 01b_spacestation.map

Then you can play Great Journey.


Wut wut? You mean if I had renamed Cairo Station to Uprising I would have been able to play it?

Ah well, it would have been laggy as hell anyway. I'll just stick with the Xbox until I have saved up enough for a gaming PC
Other way around.

The 3 levels you can access without activation: Heretic, Armory, Cairo Station

Renaming a map to one of them will let you play it.

The only real benefit Halo 2 Vista has at this point is the higher resolutions and Frame rate. The Multiplayer is poor compared to the Xbox version (though still nice to have) and is pretty much dead.

If you're looking to buy a PC for gaming, then ask again when you have the money and im sure people here will be able to give you suggestions for the best bang for your buck. If you don't want to build it then i'm sure there is a store which will do it for a small fee.
