For those of you that don't know about timers in Halo: Halo works by spawning items (such as power ups) that given time intervals despite when the item was picked up by a player and so this program will tell you when that item is spawning (literally will speak to you as well as many other methods of notification). For the program choose the map you are going to play. When the game in Halo says "Loading" Wait about 2 seconds and then press the "Game On" button. I recommend using this in conjunction with the Xbox version of Halo as it would probably be a pain to swap programs if you are using Halo on your Mac.

Version 1.5:

All items supported! This is a big one. There is now a menu item labeled 'Item Reports' which allows you to choose which items you would like the timer to inform you about spawning with realtime updating (i.e. add an item while the timer is running).
Analog Timers. Now in addition to the digital countdown timers there is a analog based count down timer that takes pie shaped chunks out a circle every second. These can be toggled on or off.
Halo-Dock. Instead of having text which tells you which items are associated with a time, items are now displayed in dock like fashion with picture icons. When these items are within 10 seconds of spawning in the game they will begin to bounce much like an application bouncing in your dock.
Item blast revamped. Item blast no longer will display across your entire window interfering with your control and viewing. Instead it is now located in the top right corner. Additionally the speed of how fast an item is blasted can be modified (Fast Medium and Slow) or it can be disabled all together.
Warning and Spawn glow. A recessed cell contains the analog and digital countdown timers, when a countdown reaches 10 seconds the background of this cell glows purple; when the countdown reaches 0 it glows blue.
Mini view. For those of you who will either not be able to see your screen, just don't glance at it, or prefer to have smaller interface this view is for you. Mini view takes up a fraction of your screen in comparison to the main view. It features all timer controls, a digital elapsed game time which has the warning and spawn glow when anything is within 10 seconds of spawning or is spawning, and analog countdown timers. There is an option drawer which will come out by pressing the arrow on the top right. In this drawer you will find mini Halo-docks (though these do not bounce, but instead has a spinning wheel next to it) so you can see what items are associated with which time. This drawer can also be sized to your liking. As usual you will still be able to hear the timer speak to you. You can swap between these two views at any time.
User Defaults. The timer will remember what items you selected for item reports, whether analog timers are enabled and the item blast speed/off state from the last time you ran the program.
