Halo

Probably not in the right forum for this, but wasn't sure where else to post:
Anyone have Halo for Mac? If so, where did you purchase it? I've looked around online, but can't find a site that sells the game. Also, will it run okay on a Macbook?

MacBook, Mac OS X (10.4.9), 2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo; 1 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM

I think Halo is only available on the Xbox console.
Sorry for not being of much help.

Thanks for the response. I click on the second link, and it says the game is currently unavailable from the Mac store. Hope it comes back up. I'd really like to get it.

It seems that Halo: Combat Evolved has been discontinued because the rights were sold, or something. Anyways, MacSoft supposedly has made Halo 2.0.2 for Macintosh. Odd thing is, it doesn't seem to be available on the MacSoft website, or at least I can't find any mention of it on there. But it is for sale here: http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=071023114749.r2nlwb1u&show_article=1.

Has anyone bought this thing? How is it?

My main question is about my video card. The game requires a 32MB AGP Video Card (GeForce 2MX/ATI 7500 or better). I have a MacBook, which came with an Intel GMA 950. Is this sufficient to run the game?
