Halo's graphics are 4 years old.

Yeah, but I mean, the way they run on PC. To make it look half-decent you need a friggin' fast computer. UT2k4 runs much easier and looks 10x better.

exactly. The people at Bungie can't code. The port was horrid. Even on top of the line computers it didnt even manage 30 fps..of course the patches helped some.

people at bungie coded the best games for the apple Eg: Marathon and myth.. I dont care about the graphics its the actual quality of the game

The problem with Halo is that you even middle-to-higher computers can't run it without such a low quality that it's not worth playing.

if you cant play a 4 year old game on a top of the line computer..there is a problem.

you get the patches? thats prolly why..the patches make it ran better. when it first came out , the 1.0 it ran like ultra crap.

I don't have any halo patches on my version, I run it over 30 fps on an AMD 1.1ghz + GeForce 4 MX4000 128mb card on medium settings...

Well..im sorry..but if you play online..you have the patches because online it auto updates. Shit-Eating Grin

So some CD keys are invalid? Is this another example of the well-known pirated keys update rejection system (Microsoft already uses a scheme like this - it maintains a list of WKPKs and if you use one of them, a service pack/patch refuses to install)?

Ooh my. Shocked

Exactly. Basicly the lowest microsoft employees are condemned to find hack sites and copy down the cd keys and put it in a database. If you use it , it wont work. But I heard there is a crack that lets you play ONLY on cracked servers. Sad that there isn't that many cracked servers.

I am going to eventually buy the game to try out the new Halo CE. Which is a Halo Addon for free Laughing

When I installed a Service Pack for Office 2000, it crashed Office 2000 (Word/Excel started, and automatically quit after about 2 seconds). What a bunch.

That was a few years ago. Since then, I switched to OpenOffice (yeah, I'm a cheapskate, I know).
