Its called a Bad Port thanks to Microsoft for rushing Gearbox to release it in alpha form to the public. No comments.

But all is not lost if you post your computer specs so that we can tell why Halo sucks on your computer. That helps alot you know.

He obiviously:

A. Has a bad crappy video card

B. is a fanatic Xbox fanboy

Those are one of the 2 reasons why he made this post. Usually he should have responded like minutes ago after someone replied to him but looks like just another fanatic Xbox fanboy.

He does have a bad vid card...cuz I used to have an on-board 32mb, got that replaced by a Geforce256 which got me colored armor and decals and some lighting, then I'm gettin a 64mb tomorrow and I'll have to see if it's better...

I dont really care how good the game looks, its how it plays, and PC plays like crap. It was a complete embarrasment to Halo.

-S

"Rushing it." Right.

Anyhow, keep in mind that the screenshots were taken on high end machines. My second Halo PC experience, at the Halo PC Fanstock, a small event at Gearbox's office that occured just a little before the game was released, was on those very same computers.

My own machine, not quite up to par with those, still runs the game rather well. I'm happy with it.

Just look at it, game doesn't run too well even on my high end computer, doesn't run well on other high end either. Came out like in October when Half Life 2 was only 2 months ahead. It was rushed beyond any doubt. No matter how anybody says it, the game was rushed out to the shelf.

However, my not-quite-so-high-end PC runs it flawlessly. Why not turn the res down?

Its already way down below. This is a software issue, not a graphics problem.

  • 05.27.2004 1:18 AM PDT

Have you an NVIDIA card? That could be one of the problems. Also, have you turned AA off?

Nope, I have a Radeon pro 9800 256mb on a P4 2.0ghz and 1gig DDR ram. No Nvidia or ATI low end garbage. As I said, its the software issue and bad porting, has nothing to do with graphics, even Far Cry is running at 1280x1024 with no slow downs and thats all the features turn high. Very sad for a game that was release like several years ago runs like a slideshow picture while games from Unreal 1 to Far Cry is running perfectly with no trouble or problem.

There are people here in this forum willing to post message to help your problems in the game, but when you make garbage post and a poll like, guess what, you get garbage back. Anyways, enjoy your ground.

Since you WANT me to take you for an idiot...Okay :P

And since I'm actually running the game at that nice resolution and you didn't see it but even called people a liar, Liar, your pants is now on Fire, and your toilet bowl has run dry. Seriously, go look at the tweaks at Ubisoft Forum on how to run the game perfectly. Thats how I mind running.

Well, I use Halo on my computer, and while I don't have the XBox graphics, it's just as well. A tradeoff. Halo PC and Mac users can have the control of the mouse and decent graphics for their sniping and scoping, while XBox has nice graphics but lousy control compared to mouses.
