How to run HALO 2 under Windows XP

[BarryB]

You can create a desktop shortcut using the Loader.exe, just create a shortcut on your desktop for Loader.exe, open the properties for it then:

In the Target: part of the shortcut put:

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Halo 2\Loader.exe" "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Halo 2\halo2.exe"

and in the Start in: part put:

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Halo 2"

Assuming game is installed in default directory, edit as necessary if you installed it elsewhere!

As for the crap game, I made the mistake of missing a video setting! Goto SETTINGS > VIDEO > LEVEL OF DETAIL and set it to HIGH!! Then the game looks a bit better, but not much!

Halo 2? More like Halo 1.5
