I'm gonna pick up a copy of Halo at my local software shop tomorrow.

What's the best settings/tweaks for maximum performance for my system for the game Halo?

My system specs are in the signature

Set the resolution to whatever you want. I have a nice MDD and it runs very smoothly for me. Set textures to high, and if it chugs a little, drop it down to medium (you should be fine there). I have a GeForce 4 Ti, and I didn't enable anti aliasing and shading isn't available for me to use. Overall, it looks way better on my computer than it does on the Xbox, plus I'm using a Cinema HD Display so I need a high resolution.

Thanks for the tips! I can't wait til I get Halo.

Thanks a million, chum! Merry Christmas! I know my Christmas will be merry and jolly! I'll be enjoying Halo with your tips!

Wait until you get to play multiplayer. You'll be patting yourself on the back for years. Just create a custom gametype to enable all vehicles (2 each) and play on Blood Gulch. Sweet!
