So I get halo pc right? I go to my frends house because its closer to the store. I put it in, download it, play it, and it works great. I join a couple games, mostly get pwned because I am used to an xbox controller. I join 1 sniper game were they were camping. So I throw nads at my feet and kill myself before they kill me. I joined 1 game were they could stop time so you have infinite ammo and grinades but the grenades never explode untill they restart time, and then they explode all at once! We got reeeeeeely high with that. It was reely fun!! Anyway, I go to play it on my pc aaaaaaaannnnnnnnnnnd.....
I can't. Turns out, because my pc is more than 5 years old, it has an unsupported or out of date grafics card.
The only pc game I have been able to play with it was stare wars JKA. For a while, it was my only form of comunication with any kind of gaming community. That,s why I got halo pc and eventually xbox live, so I could play with REAL gamers playing REAL games. I tried playing half life 2 ep 1 with all of the settings on the lowest setting and, in the opening cutscean, all of the visible objects and charecters (there wasn't much of them due to a blinding whiteness that covered much of the screen for no apparent reason)were in WIREFRAME!! It then proceded to glitch up and come to a halt at increasing intervals intil my computer completly froze and died.
Since then I have not even attempted to play any pc games, mostly because I have been spending all of my time on xbox live and on bungie.net but also because my computer computer has been getting slower and slower (since we got norton antivirus) to the point that now it takes > 5 seconds for google to open.
I have downloaded halo ce with the deying hope that the tooth fary would upgrade my graphics card so I can play bothe games.She has not come. I got the frend whos' computer I need in order to play halo pc world of warcraft. Now he wont let my play halo pc on his computer let alone download halo ce (which would require the delition of either world of warcraft or everything else on his pc). He is going to get some ezpansion pack for wow so he will need to delite halo pc to install it. So much for my dreames of sitting down in a dark dand room eating hot pockets staring at a computer screen desplaying my modded chief flying miles above one of the new maps!

Anyway, please about your ausome pcs and how they are so much better and more pimped out than mine and your pitty and or the lafter you derive from the thought of me not being able to play ausome modded games without me.

I'm to lazy to look up the specs for my pc. I know it's old and I know it suck because it's old.
And wtf are those things I complimented that I dont know what are but that you think I do?

Wow... rant much?

On a different note, sorry to hear that. I'm suddenly happy to have my POS that runs Halo PC on high textures and particles (Still looks crappy though, no shadowing, specular, etc... GRRR YOU INTEL!)

OMG SAME! Highest textures and particles, but no shadowing or major detail (like the shininess of weapons).

Holy Jesus Christ. Myspace and Livejournal exsist for this reason, dude, this is The Maw.

In brief, your entire paragraph could be summarized like this: "My computer can't handle Halo PC and I don't know why. Can any of you post your computer specs so I can compare?"

Well, you can find out your own specs by right-clicking My Computer and going to Properties. For more in-depth information, go into the Command Prompt (in the Accessories folder) and type in "dxdiag" and hit enter.

As for Norton...it sucks, to be completely honest. Not only do you pay them 30 or so dollars, the update is slow and cumbersome and it hogs system resources, something you were able to witness firsthand. Go get AVG or Avast! Antivirus...they're both free and receive constant updates. For firewalls, get Kerio or ZoneAlarm, and for antispyware, get AdAware or Spybot S&D. Go google 'em, install em, and get rid of Norton and stop paying them for nothing.

1 : I hate myspace, have never gon to it, and never will.
2: I know why it doesn't work. It's my -blamy graphics processor.
3: I don't want your help or charity. I just did this so you could laugh at me and be gratefull your pc can play halo pc
4: Yes NORTON SUCKS. It takes up time and space on your pc and it makes everything slower, especially when it's doing somethin inportant. However my parents tecnicly own my computer and my mom doesn't realize what's making her computer slow. She thinks it is me going to google vedeo to look up things like "white and nerdy" so I can put my headset up to it and annoy people on xbox live. So she wouldent let me get any other virus protection other than her trusted old norton. I tried getting myself a computer and my mom brought one home from work (they were getting rid of all of their old pcs to make room for new ones) but, even though it was a windows 2000, it still had even more problems with halo pc than the one I'm useing now. So I don't use it for anything either than making a list of funny npc dialauge I've heard in halo 1 and 2.
5: Even if it did work, i probably wouldn't play it verry much as I now would rather spend that time on xbox live and, as you can see from how much I type, bungie.net.
6 I will make it into paragraphs now.

Yes, I am a hypocrite, and I'm sorry. I really do mean well, but I'm not running on all cylinders.

Everytime someone buys a copy of Halo 2 Vista, a puppy dies.

Damn, save up some cash and get some better hardware. You'll fit right in with this rest of this motley crew.

After reading about your outdated card, I'm extremely thankful for my Intel graphics card. Everything high, 40 FPS. Without decals and speculars of course. I'll be even more thankful when I get my nVidia GeForce 6200 this week. =D

I have an Xbox 360, and I have Xbox Live, but I'm still finding myself playing Halo PC more than Halo 2.

Besides, PC gaming > everything else.

I understand everything in the halo universe but I have absolutly no clue as to what all of your techy talk is about. Or is it trecky? No it's techy. There are 10 kinds of people in the world, those that understand binary, and those that don't.
