Your video card "appears" to not be supported by the game. Have you made
sure that the game supports your older ATi Rage 128 card?

In addition to Chris's solid advice, you can compare from the
list of DirectX 8 and 9 Version cards which support Hardware
"T&L" which you need for high performance games like Halo: http://www.pcvsconsole.com/features/video/ I hope that helps!

Search pricewatch.com. I would get no less than a GeForce4 4600,(not an MX version.)

Agreed. Ti4200 64 MB is a good card for the money.

Cheers!
Jimmy.

The RAGE 128 is *not* supported by HALO (any version).

The *floor* ATI graphics chipset that *is* supported by HALO is the R300
(Radeon 8500/8500DV).

All RADEON 9xxx-series GPU/VPUs are also supported.

With current pricing, you can pick up a GIGABYTE *Powered By ATI* RADEON
9600SE (128 MB of RAM!) for $100 USD or less.
