OMG! LEET!

Thanks! A fix for Gearbox's error in optimizing Halo for PC gaming. Awesome.

They also messed up the teleporters. And the active camoflauge.

Now, if only I knew where to put these files...

download ppfomatic http://files.halomods.com/viewtopic.php?t=8. Then open it, for the iso section, open bitmaps.map, then for the patch, find the ppf file you downloaded. Apply and enjoy!

My Halo looks like the 'Without' screencaps, because my graphics card can't support Teh Shineez.

You know what's cool, though? This mod was placed in the Mac section. Sweet. :D

I'm not sure. If you can play Halo with grass that actually looks like grass, and not just like some four year old scribbled a green crayon over the map, then try it.

Compare the teleporter and active camoflauge effects on the Xbox version to the PC version on a mid-range computer. You'll find that only some of the higher-end cards will have the same shimmering, distortion appearance when most mid-range or low-end cards should have that effect.

No, they didn't mess up on anything. They did exactly what bungie wanted. Learn about your developer before you talk -blam!- about them.

Well really, a game on pc should go to xbox 360 graphics upwards and playstation graphics downwards

Let's not forget that Halo Mac/PC is several years old and can't compare to the graphics of today's fancypants PC games.

Would this even work for me? I mean, at times, during games, if I stand still and aim at a certain angle, vehicles and weapons and players become very brightly and detailedly colored, likee the Warthog goes from a dark crap green to a Bright sand green. :D

Maybe it's their fault or they aren't, but I'm just saying Halo PC could have been much better.

Okay, HOW DO YOU DO IT?

Honestly I have to frickin' clue as to what you do! Tell me what I do to get it to work! Don't give me a URL to a bunch of CRAP I don't need, just tell me what I need to do! Sorry, it just really PISSES me off when stuff doesn't work!

It's quite simple, you need patience and to pay attention closely. A tutorial comes with downloading PPF-O-Matic.

Also, stop typing words and phrases in capital letters. You can convey the same emotion and expression by using tags such as italicizing your letters or typing them in bold and not look like an idiot.
