the Hunters and Grunts that sided with you in the Halo 2 campaign were under the command of Elites and thus stayed under their command during the insurrection. i'm not convinced that the Hunters, Grunts, and other non-Elite races that were under comm...  [Read More]

my understanding of the game was that the elites sided with the humans at the end due to a combination of the Arbiter switching sides and the Prophets displaying their distrust of the Elites by putting the Brutes ahead of them. my guess would be that...  [Read More]

Hmm... I've found that the best way to improve performance is to turn off the water effects and lower the shadows down (though this does remove a lot of the ambience). Mapped terrain is very important for the game's visual side so I wouldn't turn tha...  [Read More]

i don't know. even by following www.ati.com, you get referred to an amd.com domain. that makes me wonder if the ATI name isn't already swirling down the drain, so to speak. that doesn't bear much of a problem among enthusiasts, though. most of us kn...  [Read More]
