PC Gaming?

Does anyone know how to enable the cheat console in Halo?  All I've got is this

Open the properties window of the Halo shortcut and add " -console -devmode" to the end of the target field.

I think I know what it's talking about, but I don't know where to put the command.  I tried putting it right after "halo.exe", I tried putting "halo.exe\-console -devmode", but nothing seems to work.  I'd appreciate any help.

Make a shortcut to the Halo.exe file, open its Properties (right-click), and add -console -devmode after the shortcut (which should be in quotations).

For example, the field might look like this:

"C:\Program Files\Bungie\Halo\Halo.exe" -console -devmode

That's how it works for several other games I've played, so it probably applies to this scenario.

Tried what was mentioned, got the same error, here's a screen if you want to take a look.

Try shoving the -console -devmode parameters inside the quotes, like this:

"C:\Program Files\Bungie\Halo\Halo.exe -console -devmode"

Same thing happened

Alright, so today, I got Prototype, and it's AWESOME.

But there's tons of lag.  I have shadows set to low, and I have graphics set medium.  I have no idea why this is happening, because my computer is definitely past the requirements for the game.  I'm open to any help.

Maybe you need more VRAM? I don't know, I suck at computer stuff like that.

@nintendodork

Do you run some programs in the background ? Maybe that`s the reason.

At the moment I play Hitman 2 on my PC. It`s good. It`s cool to be "the" killer

The only modern game worth playing is S.T.A.L.K.E.R., because just about anything else decent is already on PS3 and/or Xbox 360. To me, all the great PC games have already been made and there has been nothing really worthwhile or exciting that has come out or is coming out for the PC. And besides, most games these days require 2 video cards, dual processors and 8GB RAM just to play it on the lowest setting at 20fps. And they are all pretty looking and shinny but there is no substance behind them. Some of my favorite PC games are Thief I & II, System Shock I & II, Fallout 1 & 2, Call of Cthulhu DCOTE, Monkey Island 1-3, Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis, Arcanum, the Tex Murphy series, Jagged Alliance I & II, the Dark Seed series, Blood and Soliders At War. There are many many others and I can go on forever but I won't. I grew up playing console and PC games and I am good at both; so how is playing console games and excuse to not be good on online games? A lot of people don't do good online because it would only be fair if every player had the same comupter, running at the same specs and config, as well as the same internet connection. But I'm sorry to say that if you need to cheat in Halo how can you play Famicom games which are (on the average) at least 10x harder?

I don't have either of those consoles.  The way I see it, I don't need to buy either one in the future either, because I can just have all the good ones on my laptop.  It's stupid to pay a bunch of money for the same games on a different system when I can play them my laptop for the same price.

I don't need to cheat.  I've already completed Halo several times on various difficulties.  I wanted to cheat just for the fun.


Anyway, I read up on it some more, and some sources said that Windows SP2 is better for it than SP1, which is what I have.  Unfortunately, after the 5 hours download from Microsoft's website, the file couldn't be opened.  Another option was do turn off HIDs that I don't use.  I did that, and it runs almost perfectly with graphics on high.  If I do end up successfully downloading SP2, then the game should run flawlessly.  I definitely recommend it to anyone who likes PC gaming.

Sorry! I didn't mean it as an insult so don't take it the wrong way. On the other hand, I have SP2 and have never had a problem with Halo, but SP2 has caused many problems for other games that I have tried to play so be wary. Good luck!

I have SP2 and haven't had problems with any games because of it. Then again, I play more modern games (Source games, for example) that are built for it.
