The bungie.net community is the halo PC community that is renowned for being unbelieveably sucky.

Um, you can do this two ways I'm guessing.

The first would be through your video card control panel. You should be able to force centered images or maintain aspect ratio. Then you'd select a 4:3 aspect ratio (in game) such as 800x600, 1024x768, etc and the image would remain 4:3 with black bars on the sides.

The other way I bet this would work is to simply run halo in windowed mode.

I haven't tried any of this though, so just some guessing.

Here you will need this to help you get your foot out of the back of your throat, looks llike its in there pretty deep. And what is that on your face? Egg?! *hands Kim a washcloth*

You can also see if your monitor has an option for 1:1 image display or to keep aspect ratio.

Fool around with the buttons on your monitor. Maybe there's a setting in there.
