I just wanted to know who makes the updates for Halo PC so i may send a message to them regarding the Graphics Engine in Halo PC. No doubt that Halo PC is an amazing game, with spectacular graphics...but the only problem is the amount of lag i get in it! I have a Radeon 9600 Pro and when i run the game at full settings (naturaly i would since it can handle everyo other graphically advanced game) it gets an encredible amount of lag. I usually get about 15 FPS at 800x600 resolution, but the strange thing is that when i play a game like BFV, BF 1942, or DX:IW (all being graphically superior in their own way) i can get at least 50 FPS. BF 1942 average FPS: 100, BFV Average FPS: 53, and DX:IW (Ver. 1.2) 40 FPS.

I would like to see Bungie, or who ever delivers and or makes the updates for Halo PC, to give the graphics engine better performance. This would definatly improve online play with higher frame rates, and the game would run much smoother in Campaign (thats where the lag is evident).
I am a big fan of Halo and i would really appreciate it if someone would listen and do something about it.

There already is an update to the graphics engine. It's called "fast shaders". However, this update is only for HaloCE. (custom edition) I have a 9800 pro and saw a huge improvement in the framerates when i switched over. Of coarse, different setups have been getting different results.

The Fast shader unfortunately only help the multiplayer. The Single player is likely wasted and in the dust which in my opinion very stupid because I bought the game for the single player experience since I didn't go out and waste my money on the Xbox.
