I'm not sure if you can actually play the game on 720p on 16:9 without stretching the picture automatically. I have yet to hear from someone that actually got it to work
Me neither. It's really annoying.
Seems everyone could play in full 16:9 before they apply the update, with their box set on 720p. Here's what I think happened - before the update, it did not support 720p, and we were actually playing it in 480p (which the game did support) stretched to widescreen despite our display settings. Then the update came, allowing us to play in 720p but only in 4:3. This I think makes a lot more sense than putting out an update that would actually downgrade the functionality! I'm not entirely sure, but I think it may have something to do with the fact Halo 1 didn't have widescreen support. When you play it on 480p in 16:9 you can see it's stretched.
I wish they'd fix it though. It is pretty much THE definitive xbox game and it launched the xbox brand. You'd think they'd let us enjoy it in all it's glory...
Yeah, it's really weird. It seems that everything was fine before the update but now I don't know. I wish someone knew the answer to all of this. Now I don't know if I should play with it letterboxed or in 480p stretched to 16:9. This really sucks.
