Download the Update: Halo 2.0.3 update
Universal Binary Release: Install the 2.0.3 update above, which removes the requirement to have the CD inserted. My gamepad doesn't work with Halo. Why? You need to have Halo version 2.0 or newer in order to enable gamepad support. If you do not currently have the most recent update installed you can download it from one of the links near the top of this page. When I run Halo on my Mac, I get a message that says that my processor is below the minimum system requirement and then the program quits. How can I bypass this? Hold down the "P" key on the keyboard while double clicking the Halo game icon, and the game will bypass the message. This error message will also occur on some Macs that are above the minimum system requirement due to an incorrect value being returned by the hardware. After installing Halo, I double click the game icon, the screen goes black and then returns to the desktop after a second. What's up? The shaders folder is missing files or is missing altogether. To fix this, copy the shaders folder from the CD into the Halo folder on your hard drive. If prompted that the shaders folder already exists, click "Replace." NOTE: Don't copy the shaders folder from the cd if you have already updated the game. Does Halo support Full Screen Anti-Aliasing? Halo does support Full Screen Anti-aliasing. However, you may experience some minor graphical anomalies with this feature enabled. Frequently Asked Questions:
