Subject: Halo 16x9?

Hello all,

I just downloaded halo as an XBO and i was wondering it there is a 16x9 setting? Im thinking there isnt, but i never played halo on a widescreen before so i never bothered to look.

also i heard that all XBO's (or at least halo) get upscaled to 720p with anti-aliasing, or am i just wrong?

thanks

A tosser is the same as a wanker. To toss oneself off is to fondle the trouser weasel.

You must turn it onto 480P or else it won't cover your entire screen. I believe it supports widescreen then, as it does with my Xbox 360 anyway, as the entire screen is covered.

You get two black bars on the sides.

What he said.

At least, that's what happened when I downloaded the version off of the XBL Martketplace.

The only thing the download is, is the game data directly from the disk being downloaded to your hard drive, there is no difference. So no, Halo download does not have 16:9 aspect ratio setting.

Any way to get that back via VGA? Ever since the NXE it always scales to my full display, which I found kind of funny since I can now play 360 games without any stretching or loss of picture.

I suppose you are using a computer monitor? I heard that with the new NXE, new screen ratios were supported, so I guess you'll have to mess with the settings.

I'm not sure if there is an option or something special when you are using VGA, sorry.
