OK all you ppl out there, I call on your technical expertise. Whenever I play Halo, for some reason, it always runs at 1/2 to 1/4 speed.
System: 1ghz Duron, 512mb Ram, Radeon 9600pro, Win XP Pro
I tried turning down all the gfx settings, turning off vsync, turning down the gfx card settings and none of this helps.

Add -use11 to the command line.
It's set to use 1.4 pixel shaders as default and that slows most cards down no end. I've a P4 2.6, 512MB RAM and a GF4600 Ti and it ran like a dog until I found out about the pixel shader crap.

whatever happened to the good ol' days, when a game examined your pc, and either set it accordingly, or refused to allow you to play if you didn't meet its minimum?
i am thinkin it should be rekindled..

Damn Straight! The only other person i know who actually plays halo pc has 2 cpus, radeon 9800xt etc. etc.
Now I'll have to reinstall it, and try them cmd line options. I heard something about the pixel shaders from some guy... i didnt know how to set it tho. Thanks to Omega & Adam for giving me something to try out.

Max Payne does just that.
[addsig]I've tried using the -use11 and the -useff cmd line, neither made a difference. Also tried using them both, makes no difference. Tried with vsync off, vsync, and 30fps locked. Nothing helps (30fps locked makes it slightly faster...) I think its my CPU.
So now I have to save for an Athlon, unfortunately Ive got no money atm cos I spent it all on the Radeon
