@ Mgal: What could possibly make you think this was a bot? Was it the excessive use of links?

@hujiyama: I'd say that it's not unexpected to use up that much cpu. I use around that much too.

It is quite sad indeed… :-\

But yes, it's probably nothing to worry about. I guess that if you try to run halo with its settings at minimum the used CPU would turn down a little, but that's up to you. (if your start-up window doesn't pop up anymore old Alt while starting halo to bring it up)

Well I wouldnt be worried, it takes up more than half my CPU.

Just be careful of using it too long if it gets hot.

I've burned my lap from playing HD on my iBook G4 laptop. But now I have a more heat-efficient Mac Pro tower that doesn't sit on my lap. The fans turn on when I'm playing a long game of HD in 1920 x 1080 resolution with maximum graphics settings possible. And also when I run several of those games at once as multiple hosted servers.

Running a single HD game for me at the above specs and leaving it idle on the main UI menu without any games running uses:

Code: Select all

264	 Halo Demo	98.0% CPU	12 Threads	194.6 MB Real Memory	PowerPC

hmm maybe halo is relying on CPU more than on GPU
