I'm thrilled at your confidence! What with the rumors of Macsoft's expired Halo license, and what seemed to be VERY few Google hits about anything Macsoft Halo support related, I had nearly given up.
Which forum are you referring to? Does Macsoft have it's own forum?
I did find a customer support number/e-mail address on their website -- 'support@destineerstudios.com'. It's been a few days and I haven't heard back from them yet; Maybe I'll revise my question...
Macsoft/Destineer -- best customer support ever! 🙂
This is just a follow-up to my initial request about support for Halo for Mac. I had been concerned that the product was no longer being supported, and boy was I wrong. Although my problem has not yet been resolved (my hardware and software is all up to date and compatible, but some other conflict still exists -- it may be specific to the VERSION of my Logitech gamepad), support is alive and well! If a solution is found that is relevant to all users, I'll post it here....
EDIT:
Oh crap, the Rumblepad II works fine, and always has. I feel like a bit of an idiot, but I just didn't set it up properly. I'd like to thank Jason Clark, Destineer Studios for his thorough response to my e-mails, and for pointing out this fact 🙂

Just a hint for anyone wanting to buy Halo (Mac edition): you can buy the German version for a lot less than the English version - usually new in sealed box, and usually already UB.
Then, you can get rid of all the German bits just replacing the content of the GameData DE folder (in the application folder) with the content of the English version's GameData folder. I did that for my second copy of Halo (the first being English) and it works without any problem.
The problem, for some, could be tracking down an English copy of Halo to get that English GameData folder... but, in case you don't know anyone owning a copy of Halo Mac, it's very easy to find it in the P2P network, and, since you actually end with using a regularly bought legit copy, it's not even that illegal as a move 🙂
