Halo PC: Grey Halo Armor

[santaclaus1986]

I have a Dell Windows XP, and my graphics card is an Intel(R)82865G Graphics Controller. The problem is that No matter what happens when I play halo, The halo armor is Grey. And the texture detail isn't great either. The Halo ring is pitch black when I start halo. But I don't care much about that because In game play it has color. http://www.xfire.com/screenshots/trmbmsc/
I had a download that gave it color and some texture. For example. In blood gulch I could see like a granny look in the dirt and grass instead of it being one color. The download was great and it worked but I lost it in a reformatting. Ive tried looking everywhere. So I decided to ask. Does anyone have the download link they could send to me? Ive tried looking everywhere. I found a download that looked like what I had before. But it didn't work. I would greatly appreciate your help.

Thanks in Advance

You spelled out the problem in the first sentence. Intel Integrated Graphic chips have VERY bad graphic support. If you want good graphics in games, you need to buy a dedicated graphics card.

You need a better graphics card.

A much better graphics card.

Buying a graphics card is out of the question. lol. The card isn't a card its a chipset. But My parents never use this computer enough to get the benefits of a new graphics card. And If i pay for it with my own money, they will 'somehow' get mad at me because I will have to like get a tech over at my house to do it. And than we will have to pay them. And If I try to install it myself with a guide Ill be afraid to mess it up. I just really want that download. I'll be happy with just the download. If someone knows what I am talking about (Having experienced the same problem or knows someone who has), Can they please help me out?

I remember something like that, vaguely. However, I don't know the name of it at all.

I could ship my old Radeon X9200 to you through eBay, If you trust eBay that is, lol.

[santaclaus1986]

i don't trust ebay. lol.

I remember going on this site and seeing a skin someone made for halo. so people with crap computes can have colour. I remember he got like flamed saying "This isn't a good skin" and i think it was deleted. Irony

although they are proprietary jerks, i think adding in videocards is ok. just make sure you get a PCIe card, and check to see whether it's x16 or not.

Il do that. but in the meantime can someone pelase find the download. I remember seeing it on this site.
