lol

I rarely encounter lag with HaloPC, unless some dial-up dude is coming into the game.

And I generally play on 16 player games, which are dedicated. So no lag for me !

Directx9.0 video card makes a big difference with Halo! The bump mapping is simply incredible for a "old" game. My original PC for Halo couldn't handle it very well either. Back in the day, this game was the most demanding thing out, so much so that anti-aliasing wasn't even supported and still isn't!

People who play Xbox come over and see Halo @1600x1200 and are blown away with how beautiful it is. Say what you want about the netcode, the graphics was an absolute home run.

Actually, Gearbox still screwed it up, because they failed to optimize it for PC gaming, which is why it was so demanding on systems a few years ago. And anti-aliasing and anisotropic filtering would have been awesome, but alas, Gearbox didn't put them in either.

They also messed up some other things, such as you can't have the same shimmer-distortion effect with the active camoflauge as on the Xbox unless you have a really high-end PC, and the teleporters look different than the ones on the Xbox version.

HAHA, oh man, go to a dead hunter, hit it's back repeatedly with melees and watch your framerate drop. Walk away and look at it, no drop, walk twards it and look down, huge drop.
Don't bother with the hunter, do it with elites. Purple blood splurts everywhere everytime you melee, and the framerate gets ridiculously low as layer upon layer of fresh blood hits the surrounding environment. Overlapping layers of blood on the surrounding area takes alot of power to run, so don't be surprised when you melee an elite a dozen times and the framerate drops.


Pfft, that happens even on the Xbox version. I can understand, seeing as the Xbox isn't that great of a machine, but still.
