: SlYnki has been able to do the Keyes shield bump for a while:
: www.youtube.com/watch?v=GmalAVX7BFg

And there's some other people (me!) who've been able to do it as well. :)

: The graphics aren't horribly mangled, so it's oXbox.

PC graphics aren't horribly mangled! :(

: Actually, you can tell that it's not on PC just by looking at where the HUD
: elements are. With NTSC video, it's traditional to crop the edges of the
: screen a bit because the signal might be sketchy in those areas of the
: image in older systems. That cropped area is the action safe, and it's why
: even relatively new SDTVs have slightly cropped edges. This means that
: HUDs are always set a bit into the image on console versions of older
: games so that they don't get cut off. PC monitors have had much
: higher-quality video and display standards, and have had much less action
: safe cropping, so the HUDs are often clinging the very edge of the frame
: even in stuff from the early 2000's.
: This is a perfectly good indicator with Halo PC, and it's also true with Halo
: 2 Vista.

Or you could just look at the loading screens and the fact that it has pictures of controller buttons whenever he wants to get in a vehicle or switch weapons...

Also, the HUD thing, not always the case on PC.

: But yeah, you can also just look and see that the graphics aren't horribly
: mangled. The most obvious indicator is the fog; if the game has any
: animated fog whatsoever, it's running on oXbox. If the game is REALLY
: visually screwed, it's Halo PC. If it's visually decent but has some
: quirks like yellow on the left side of the screen when you zoom (and a
: total lack of animated fog), it's possibly the 360 emulator.

360 emulator?
