Is there any news on the next Halo patch for Mac? On the PC side it is supposed to offer a %30 boast. Aside from multiplayer issues it would be nice to know if the Mac is going to get these boosts too.

MacSoft is very good at getting out new patches when the PC side does, so I would expect it very soon after if not at the same time as the PC patch

I'm hoping for being able to play it without a cd.

MacSoft saw rampant piracy of their latest release, the long-awaited Mac version of Halo. Through extrapolation of the activity on file-sharing services like BitTorrent, Tamte said that MacSoft has witnessed more people stealing Halo than have purchased it.
...
MacSoft's response was to issue a recent patch that, while offering renewed multiplayer compatibility with its PC counterpart and other fixes, requires gamers to have Halo CD-ROMs in their drives in order to play.

Do they not understand that it won't stop anyone? People trade disc images.
I downloaded Halo, tried it out to see how well it ran and then bought it because I like then game and the key needed for online play not because of the required disc.
I would rather have to connect to a server within 30 days and verify my key once than to have to have the CD in the drive when I want to play.
and also about the Boost, it that in graphics? I don't know if we will see that because does the PC side use Direct X so most of the things they tweak may not make it over? I am clueless on the subject but just wondering.

There's a large discussion here in an earlier thread here:
