Finally, I'm getting the orginal Halo off Xbox Live! I've had it for PC but I've always wanted to pick it up for Xbox, so I'm psyched!
But there is one problem, it is going sooo slow. It's been about 2 hours and it's at 15%.
It'll be worth it though!

Now, in the quantum moment before the closure, when all become one. One moment left. One point of space and time.

I know who you are.

You are Destiny.

Congrats, it's the best purchase you will ever make :)

It's uber delicious. To anyone else out there... if you haven't played Combat Evolved yet, download it from the marketplace now!

Just played through the first level... ahh, nostalgia. Does anyone know how to make it run in widescreen (without the black bars on the sides)?

Supreme Dictator, Industrial Polluter, Megalomaniac, Corrupt Politician, Underhanded Reprobate, Rainforest Ravager, Puppy Kicker, Oil Spill Coordinator, Holiday Hater, and an Insurance Salesman.

I don't think it can. It wasn't designed to run in widescreen mode.

By the power of truth, I, while living, have conquered the universe.

I still have my 10 year old disk. Not a scratch on that baby.

Yeah, now that I've played both the PC and Xbox version... I'd have to say that the Xbox version has a better feel to it... Dunno why.
I wish they would upgrade originals to run in widescreen if you download them.

It was originally built for consoles, and IMO apart from the low resolution it actually looks better on consoles; the graphical changes made by Gearbox kind of blow from a stylization standpoint.


Anyway, it's pretty awesome on 360, though I prefer it on the classic box. It interfaces with the controllers better, and it doesn't suffer from the weird color imbalance and other odd graphical dysfunctionalities that it gets on the 360.
Admittedly, to the 360's credit, yay progressive scan.
