Brief Hands-On Report--Halo (Universal) updated to v2.0.2
Macsoft released an update to Halo 2.0 (Universal) to v2.0.2. It is available for download via this MacUpdate Web page. According to the ReadMe file, the changes in v2.0.2 are:
- Fixed a problem with multi-key combos and the 'A' key on the keyboard.
- VSYNC flag now enabled correctly at game start.
We downloaded the updater and ran it on our copies of Halo 2.0.1.Then we checked out its speed on our new 15" 2.4GHz MacBook Pro LED and our 24" 2.33GHz iMac Core 2 Duo using our speed test protocol.
Here are the results:
| Computer (Graphics) | Halo 2.0.2 | Halo 2.0.1 | % Change |
|---|---|---|---|
15" MacBook Pro LED (Nvidia) |
86 |
85 |
+1 |
24" iMac C2D (Nvidia) |
70 |
71 |
-1 |
The latest version 2.0.2 has no effect on the speed of Halo at the settings we use, at least on the two Nvidia graphics chip sets. The MacBook Pro uses the 8600M GT and the iMac uses the 7600 GT. [Bill Fox]
