A new patch for the PC version of Halo 1 is now available, removing the CD check five years after the game was first released. A patch for Halo: Custom Edition is available as well.

In addition to removing the CD check from the game, the 1.08 patch takes care of server-crashing security bugs. As of tomorrow, this patch is required to continue to play online.

Any complaints about the PC port are void now, really. My PC at the time couldn't keep up, and the game was difficult and painful to play. I came back to it a few years later with much better hardware, and it was easier and more enjoyable.
