could anyone tell me how to take screenshots in halo PC? probably a dumb question... I think that you need to change something in the properties but I'm not sure.

Here's what you do:
1. Press the "Print Screen" key on your keyboard when in Halo
2. Minimize Halo, and open Paint or any other image editing tool.
3. Go to Edit>Paste and you should see your screen capture.
4. Save your image in whatever format you want
Hope this helps you
If you need any more detail on this, just PM me or something

not to rule out the print screen button use, but using a program so you dont have to keep minimizing halo is worth it, to me...
My suggestion would be Snag-it, which is available at

EDIT: I wouldnt use snag-it for recording video of halo, or camtasia, they both suck at recording things that use directX

Thanks for the help! For some idiotic reason i was hitting F12 instead of print screen... im so stupid sometimes.
I also found out another way to get screenshots. Right click for properties, then go to target. After the adress add "-screenshot". It should look like this:
"D:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Halo\halo.exe" -screenshot
