Surely that can't run very well... I mean, hell, 10 hours for an install?

It's a waste, but you know some upper level MS guy is rolling around in his coffin, wanting to suck the life from whoever thought it up.

Therefore, it's worth it.
Do you want forgiveness or respect?

I'm very high maintenance. You can start me off with one of these, but cut with real gold and diamonds.

P.S. In searching for that, I came across this.

It's all relative.
Maybe, by regular PC standards it is

You'd try and take your own life in the process.

I can't quite tell if you're being sarcastic, so I'll flat out say: It won't. If it even starts, you'll get sub-5FPS. Hell, the emulator is only emulating a 2Mhz(?) PPC processor, that's why everything takes so ungodly ****ing long.

Just play Halo for the Xbox, PC, or Mac. Don't go the emulated route. I don't want your suicide on my conscience.
