It's Halo 2's very first birthday. We clebrate by taking a look at GASP Halo and Halo 2 running on Xbox 360, and a bunch of other really cool stuff you'll probably ignore because of 720p screens.

Phew, that was long. H2-360 rocks though.

Wow, incredible update!

Thanks for a great year, all this extra 360 support and all this extra info. It will take me a while to digest it all!

Kudos to everyone at Bungie for all the hard work and good luck with the future projects. The community loves you for it!

I'll have to wait another 2 days to 'celebrate' the release here in England.

Though I suppose you could just say that's my excuse for not having enough money right now to 'celebrate'. Payday tomorrow though.

So yeah, I'll be 'celebrating' this friday.

Dang long story, HAPPY BIRTHDAY HALO 2, now 7 Million Copies, that doesnt seem like much, how does that compare to other games, like say how does Halo 2 compare to the copies sold of any and all of the GTA series of games?

About the images on the 480p and 720p I am going to tell the truth here but I thought that the 480p looked cleaner and sharper than the 720p

Please bear in mind that the way we had to capture those screenshots makes them look a little worse then they really are, especially for 720p.

Trust us, it looks really nice at the higher resolution and with full screen anti-aliasing.
