I have another problem on halo :( I think its the textures but I'm not sure. There are no details in the maps. Somethings have detail but most don't. It is either green for grass, yellow for sand, or white for snow. No actual details in it. On all the characters like master cheif, grunts, or elites all their armor is white and master cheif's visor is black. Here are some pictures of it.

-Level details
-Master cheif and visor

Is there something I have to change in the settings or instal something to get it right?

Well, you obviously have to raise your settings if you want better visuals! Even if you have a top-of-the-line gaming rig, Halo isn't going to look good if all the settings are on the lowest details.

Or... I don't know how to tell you this... but your computer is too crappy to handle the graphics the way they're meant to shown.

WOW, those are playstation(1) graphics.

Post your system specs, I'm curious to know how poor you are.

The master cheif picture looks like everyone played online and didn't chose their colors

Actually it is a picture of the level sniper training. They are all AI and suposed to be white but thats how they look even if they are not. And I am very poor lol. It's supposed to be a gaming computer but it sucks with games. It's actually fast believe it or not.

Well I asked for help and I'm not getting much. All I'm getting are comments on how poor I am lol. Come on! Help me out.

In a sig somewhere there is a fix for the white MCs.

But to find it you will have to search. Hike the highest mountains, cross the deepest rivers, to find the one who holds the key to Halos craptacular graphics.

I have a HP PC with 2.4ghz but with an intergrated graphics card and Halo looks almost exactly like that when I play. The computer's really fast but the cheap intergrated graphics card makes everything look crapy.

So what you need to do is:
Buy an ATI graphics card for under $100, it should work good cause right now I play Halo PC on my $500 toshiba laptop with an ATI radeon express 200m and it looks great.

Thanks, SuperSnorky, but we already knew your system sucked. :)

We can only help you if you tell us your system specs, Smaurt_Guy. (Btw, dude, your name is a total misnomer - if you were smart you would know why your graphics are like that.)

Yeah, i know, its horrible, and i need Vista!
