So in my game, bullet holes are just transparent squares, blood works fine, my GFX Card is an Intel Brookdale G, with latest drivers. It supports T&L, has 64 MB of VRAM. And blood is fine.

i would say that they are corrupted. use an original bitmaps.map file and see if it is any different.

Tried an original before, didn't work. But I'll try again.
[EDIT] Tried again, still squares, so bitmaps aren't corrupted.

The shadows and specular settings cannot be changed, they're stuck to off.

if you can see blood fine then you should be able to see the bullet holes too. theres no reason why. Delete your bitmaps.map file and get a fresh one of your Halo CD but exploring the CD and going into file cab. I will be cab 4. Just copy cab 4 and paste it on your desktop. Once on your desktop extract it. Then try it. I don't think your re-install patched the issue bu thoes are corrupted bitmaps.
