This thread has been linked to the game 'Halo'.
And by FPS I mean frames per second.
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?! :(

Doesn't Halo ALREADY have 2 patches ? 1.1 and 1.2 , which for saying it's been out a couple of days is pretty good.
Seriously, this is taking the wee-wee. I'm not talking like 20-30fps, it's more like 5-10fps most of the time - this shouldn't happpen! And UT2003 is a newer, more hardware-intensive game.
I really wanna play through Halo, but not in safe mode which is the only time I get a decent framerate! :(

Another thing is that alot of the detail can not be displayed Geforce 4 MX420. My friend has that card and Halo looks and runs bad, very bad compared to the XBox. Remember the nice textures on the ground or the nice water effects on the start of level 4? Well Geforce 4 MX420 couldnt display them.
Not all the time no...
And this thread reaffirms my comitment to sticking to console gaming...
Had Halo running at max on 1600x1200 but at times it did slow done a little. Halo is full of detail but have you seen Chrome yet? As that to me at what i've seen on my machine is better and is smoother at full settings.
It runs like a dog on my machine too - 2.6ghz FX 5600 ultra yada yada yada
Idoor levels are worse than outdoor.
It may have its downsides but multiplayer it kicks butt

You've gotta remember that UT2003 isn't as detailed as Halo.
Enemy AI + Outside worlds + detailing + veichles etc..
Go on the bungie forums and see what you can find.

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.
