Ello every one, I just got this AWESOME lynix machine set up for gaming and now I'm wondering if it will run with halo ce.

All I know is that it's lynix ubuntu(i dont know how to spell it)
and it has a nvidia 5200 graphics card. I know that halo ce is from 03 and I think the answer will be no, but I figured that I might as well ask. Halo ce is so awesome, that I don't want to give it up, so if there is any way that I could get it to work it would be appreciated.

Ask surf team (aka e3po)

*Gulp* the one who sends viruses to people? Ok. Thx.

Lol no.

Anyway ya it should, I think it needs to be set up properly though.

Ok, I will look into "setting it up properly". Thanks.

Not natively you would have to run a Windows emulator. Halo PC/CE are windows only programs.

damn you bill gates...and Microsoft.......

Microsoft published Halo. Unless you're cursing them, wishing Halo was never made?

Wishing HALO wasn't made??? HOW COULD YOU SAY THAT?
BANHAMMER!
BANHAMMER!
BANHAMMER!

lol I know, im cursing bill gates 4 making sucky windows programs and microsoft for publishing halo, btw, when was lynix made?

You mean linux right? Or is this something else?

ummmm... kaay...
But yeah you would need some kind of Windows Emulator to run it-but you would get alot of graphics lagg though. I would just suggest using a dual-boot. Linux and Windows (Windows 7 preferably cause its cool).

Yes I meant linux. and FYI windows 7 would'nt run halo ce I tried, and failed...epic-ly

wow, you spelled linux wrong. Yes, you can run halo on linux through wine. It works fine on my ubuntu installation. Your crappy fx 5200 won't run it though.

What are you talking about? It works just fine. Try the Windows 7 RC. If that doesn't work run it in compatability mode.

Thats what I thought for a second but when I looked at the back of the halo pc box I guess I just forgot about it.
Wow I need some sleep. its like 4:00 a.m. and I'm taking finals this week.

Lol its only 11:15pm here and lol I'm already out of school

wtf were do you live??? Italy??

oh, Pennsylvania I'm, like, in a room with no clock and i have been on this computer for at least 5 -6 hours on halomaps and gmax
At least gmax runs good on Linux

I've been out of school for a month now. Got 2 more left as well...

Anyway you have a really bad graphics card its only a 5200

All versions of Windows 7 can run Halo. I could run it on Build 7000 (Beta), and Build 7100 (RC1).

Same

If you mean an Nvidia Geforce FX 5200. That is what I am using right now. It runs halo pretty well in windows with everything on max running it in 800x600. Here is a link on how to install it in ubuntu.

Have fun! lol. I used to run ubuntu until it kept crashing on me. So I reinstalled xp.

That's damn near perfect compared to what I'm using. You obviously have no idea what "bad graphics" really are. Look at this video. It uses the same graphics card I have. Watch this, then look at a 5200 and tell me what's bad.

you can run halo ce on linux. I've seen my brother do it. tho i cant help you in the fact that i don't know what program you use to make it happen.

all what i know is that it opens it as a split desktop, and you can run any xp mac product

Download WINE, it's an emulator that emulates windows applications and such. My brother uses it on Ubunu and he is able to play Halo and use 3ds max with it.

Wine is NOT an emulator, it is a set of windows resources put into linux. Then it creates a "fake" C drive to use to install windows programs. It is legal and free.

Talk about run on sentence. Anyway, I mis-worded. I meant it appears to emulate the components needed to run windows on another os.

OH OK, sorry about that lol.
