Got the video settings cranked up to the max, 1280x1024 and in no uncertain terms, the game runs like a legless dog! Seriously, during the initial conflict with the covenants, I could practically count the number of frames per second!
Yes, I've got settings at max, but on my system, it shouldn't really struggle at all (confirmed by PC Gamer review). Grr, so frustrating - I want to play it! I've got all the latest drivers, nothings running in the background, I'm not forcing AA or anything like that...GRRR!!
Anyone?! :(

But then again I wouldn't even buy it.
If its all speccy fine and stuff, then I haven't got a clue.
Ask somebody who knows summat about PCs.....
Try the official website for trouble shooting etc.
Maybe you should try putting down the detail a bit to get outside and see how it runs there.
Also, what graphics card and drivers are you using?
No - So keep it to yourself.
Uncle Albert - Your system in question might be able to run it perfectly but the graphics card makes a massive difference. Obviosuly turning on Anti Aliasing and Antistropic filtering will affect game performance drastically. Tone them down and keep the resolution at 1024 x 728 - Usually these nice extra's do make games a bit slow.

Thanks for the advice, but my system breezes through UT2003 at max settings. My gfx card is a Geforce FX 5600 256Mb - not the best admittedly, but shouldn't struggle with Halo at all.
Enemy AI + Outside worlds + detailing + veichles etc..
Go on the bungie forums and see what you can find.
Idoor levels are worse than outdoor.
It may have its downsides but multiplayer it kicks butt
