I've got a few questions to ask about Halo graphics. I'm not sure if it's my computer's problem, or if it's some settings.

1. Weapons don't shine and look like plastic

2. When I look from a distance/angle, the floor of the blood gulch base goes black

3. (Halo UB) When I look from a distance, things look brownish and foggy

4. (Halo UB) I can't see most sceneries

1. Hold down command (The thing on both sides of teh spacebar) as halo starts. A window should pop up, mess with the graphic settingz.
2. BBS
3, 4. Your Compy haz problemz.

That happened to me with Halo Full, try changing the startup settings to vertex shaders only.

I have the same problem. I posted it earlier but no one seems to have an answer.

Halo UB + PPC ≠ great.
Halo UB doesn't really function well on PPC, lag etc. Not sure if this is your problem I'm just throwing it out there.
An example is the score glitch where you lose all the scores and such, that doesn't happen on intel.

Yeah. Also, what I meant for weapons "shining" is something like this Image
(Modfox's pic, the pistol is shiney)
But my pistol looks like this:

Count yourself lucky. My graphics are ubercrap. I can't even see textures on mine, even with all of the settings turned up. *unhappyface* Anyway, I'm not sure what's wrong with yours. Try getting a new graphics card :P

EDIT: Here's a pic >.<

I think you're using damned Vertex Shaders. Or Advanced Pixel Shading. Use Pixel+Vertex dammnit!

Vertex shaders suck unless you're playing UB (That's not really a choice, lul)
And I'm using Pixel + Vertex.
