Halo 1.0.3 Updater is Out

and available for download via MacUpdate.com. According to MacUpdate the Halo 1.0.3 Updater adds the following major items:

  • Mac Halo is now compatible with PC Halo multiplayer games for version 1.02 and 1.03.
  • A new "NV Shaders" rasterizer path has been added for players with nVidia GeForce 3 Ti, GeForce 4 Ti, or GeForce 5200 fx video hardware and Mac OS X 10.3 (Panther). Players with these configurations will notice a dramatic change in image quality when using this new feature. Earlier versions of Halo only supported advanced shader capabilities on graphics cards made by ATI.
  • Many Full-screen anti-aliasing (FSAA) glitches have been fixed for use in Mac OS 10.3.2.
  • Servers now have a complete team killing / banning system that should significantly reduce team killing online.
  • Servers’ name now supports 65 characters for dedicated servers and 32 characters for client-hosted servers and now accepts an extended character set.
