 No Issues Annihilating The Covenant On Mac Pro September 30, 2009

I have crushed the Covenant using a Mac Pro with no issues (and not by smashing its heavy aluminum case on their heads repeatedly). Running Vista in Boot Camp I am able to play with no lag, or crashing of any kind. Installation went without a hitch and I was up and Slaughtering aliens in no time. Before you think, "Its no wonder you had no issues, he's using a triple quad 10 billion terahertz Mac Pro!", I have an older quad Mac Pro running at 2.6 gHz with a 512 ATI card.
I do have one issue with this game. The fact that I must subject myself to a Windoze operating system. Halo for the Mac was a great port and its sad that Halos 2&3 were never ported to the OS X platform.
Halo 2 August 14, 2009
Joseph P. Russell
I loved the very first halo i sort of still prefer it. However halo 2 is pretty cool too. i like the new weapons and the enhanced details. i like the fact that you can be part of the covanent too. If you do have a lower to middle end computer you need to lower all the video details or the game is very slow. I have an HP dv6000 with a NVIDIA GeForce 7150M / nForce630M the graphics are really nice when set to optimal settings, but like i said it slows it down a lot I dont think i have strong enough processor.

Although with all the game hacks out there and not much support by the hosting server community I find it more fun to play on the xbox platforms. At least xbox live gets rid of the modders and hackers.
