Make your HaloPC load faster!

Post by Mastermind »

I found a very interesting thing in halopc. If you delete/move/rename files bungie.bik, gearbox.bik, and msg.bik from ur halo directory, the game loads a lot faster because the animations from bungie, gearbox and microsoft are not shown. The game does not crash!

because im sure your maps folder is packed full of custom maps, and it has to register them all individually as valid .map cache files

Yes. Take out maps you don't play often, and put them back in when you want to play them. Simple as that. :)
