Does anybody know whether or not Halo 2 will offer the widescreen aspect? I've got a 51" Sony and Halo 1 just does not look the same as it did on my 32". I guess the even bigger question is if it will be avaliable in 1080i or 720p? I saw those screen cap of Halo 2 MP where everyone was on Sony widesceen flat panel TV's, but did it looked streched to anybody? Your input is greatly appreciated!

they said they were trying for 720p but performance issues might affect that decision.

widescreen support is a given.

what about coop? will the split screen still be split horizontally (on screen on top of the other), ';cause that would appear really stretched.

True true...and that is exactly what I am worried about. Maybe Frankie could drop us a little hint in one of those updates about HDTV support?!?!??!

Maybe they'll allow you to switch it between horizontally and vertically.

they wouldnt stretch it. that would look worse, what they would probobly do is just make your view smaller or "zoom" the picture. but hopefully they split it vertically.
