Oh, I didn't notice any improved performance on my Geforce4 with the new nvidia drivers. Oh well.

Found this webpage with a more detailed explanation of the command line and console options available in Halo PC: http://www.tweaktown.com/ttg/ttgdocu...Id=456&dPage=8

New NVIDIA drivers ("ForceWare" drivers...what a dumb name!) are available. http://www.nvidia.com/content/drivers/drivers.asp According to nvidia's press release, they claim up to 58% increase in performance with Halo. Naturally, they fail to say if that only applies to the Geforce 5x00 FX...

Max Payne 2 is out already? Hmm I'm really behind the times. :) I did like Max Payne, although I didn't try it until a year ago...it chugged on my P3-733 when it came out! My complaint with Max Payne is the lack of strategy...or at least lacked the feeling of having strategic options...

Well, I pity those with the Soundblaster Live! still. The CPU usage must be horrendous! :D Oh and when I listen to a Soundblaster Live! upsample 44.1Khz to 48 Khz, I cringe in horror. I don't pity the Audigy users, although I do weep for their bank accounts! ;)

Whoops, weren't we talking about Halo? :b Any thoughts on that new-fangled gun that you can use in multiplayer? The one that the Hunters use?

The sound is quite good on my nForce-based system. Sounds as good as the xbox! I pity you poor soundblaster people...you aren't getting true DD5.1 surround sound from your games. :D I suppose it would sound good on the Audigy though.

It should tom...if your framerate chokes, so will your network response!

I should try it with -use14 ... I wonder if it will look better yet not be as taxing...

It "seems" a little worse-looking than the default, but I do have to look carefully. I think the quality difference is in the lighting...the bump-mapping looks good.

Bob, I noticed the swap weapons problem too! This game chugs in the docking bay of the Truth and Reconciliation level, hitting framerates around 15 FPS (I'm using VSYNC, 800x600, hardware sound acceleration). I have an Athlon 2200 XP, 1 GB RAM, nForce2 mobo with Soundstorm, and a modest...
