Subject: Um, why is my split screen side by side?

WTF! haha So I rented Halo 2 to play through with my girlfriend, and we start co-op, and we're side by side, instead of top and bottom. Is there any way to fix this? Why is it even like that? Is this some massive drawback to playing it on a 360? It's virtually unplayable like this.

Don't lase me bro!

Set the aspect ratio on your Xbox to 4:3 instead of widescreen (16:9). Yeah, It's pretty darn annoying.

50 in H2/H3? Great, but you still fail at this.

Go into your xbox settings and disable widescreen.

I think side by side is better, honestly. At least for widescreen, where top and bottom are unreasonably thin and really hard to see.
