DESCRIPTION
Halo... Join the battle. Live the epic adventure yourself. The most anticipated game in Macintosh history is available now!
You are the last of your kind. Bred for combat, built for war. You will fight on foot, in vehicles, in the air and beneath the surface of a mysterious alien ring orbiting in the depths of space.
Recognized as one of the greatest achievements in video game entertainment, the Xbox version of Halo has already sold over 3 million units and continues to be a top seller. The Macintosh version adds 16-person online multiplayer, new vehicles, new weapons, new maps, customizable multiplayer games, the precision of playing with a mouse and keyboard and more.

AEROSPEED While I love the fact that the Halo 2.0.3 update makes it so I no longer have to use my CD to play, now my MacBook Pro 17" gets little blinking squares all over the graphics when I try to play the game. A friend with the same computer (but one rev later) has the same problem with the update. Neither of us had the problem prior to installing the update. Haven't had a chance to try it on a PowerPC machine yet.

BRIAN KENDIG I have Halo 1.5.2. The 2.0.3 updater wants to update something named "Halo Universal", and will not update my version. I have no idea how to get from 1.5.2 to 2.0.3.

CORPSECORPS As it says, this updater is for versions 2.0 and 2.0.2, the universal binary versions. The universal binary is a 650 MB download for $5 at: http://www.macgamestore.com/detail.php?ProductID=616

VERYCARLA Is this game no longer in production? The "Buy" link above takes me to Amazon where I can buy a USED copy for the bargain basement price of $65! I'd rather buy it than pirate it, but pirate I shall if need be. Does anyone know where I can buy a new copy for a reasonable price?

JRWHO Oh, I got it! Had to set it to 1280 x 800. Although, I wish it went up to my true resolution (1680 x 1050).

MACUPDATE ADMIN It means you need to buy a new copy. This updater only works with Version 2.0 of Halo for the Mac. (Or else you pirated a copy off the internet and your serial has been blocked by MS/Bungie. You'll still need to buy a new copy)

GANNET Release notes from the 2.0.2 Installer: Fixed a problem with multi-key combos and the 'A' key on the keyboard. VSYNC flag now enabled correctly at game start.

RIDDLER I never finished HALO on my xbox so recently played through an entire campaign in 2 days on my MacPro. No lock-ups or freezes, very smooth frame rate, pretty much perfect and loads of fun.
