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

Just be wary that it doesn't run in Widescreen though (if he'll be playing on an HDTV).

CE will run on widescreen though if you're playing with an Xbox and not an Xbox 360.

No, it won't. Halo 1 only renders 4:3 on oXbox.

Hmm. I've put my xbox on widescreen and told the TV screen to display the AV1 inputs as 16:9. All that happens for me is I get an icky stretched image.

Yeah, I get the stretched image.

ya but some of the sounds may be messed up.

Newbie here, so forgive if this answered elsewhere. I have the Halo CE disk, and when I try to play it on my 360, it says goes black for a second and then says the game couldn't start, try downloading again. It seems to be having trouble downloading the emulator. I'm signed into Xbox Live, in gave a hard drive, the Internet connection is fine. Anyone have any ideas why I cant get this working? Thank you!

If you're playing HD (720+), then you won't be able to play wide-screen (there will be two black bars on either side of the screen), but if you go into your XBox settings and knock the settings down to 480, then it will. I can't remember if it stretches... it probably does.

It's a distinction between 4:3-based settings and 16:9-based settings. All HD settings assume that you're sending picture to a 16:9 screen, and assume that the screen is set to display input across the entire 16:9, so the xbox pillarboxes the image to make sure that it's not stretched. If you're using 4:3 SD settings, the xbox assumes that you're sending to a 4:3 television or your TV is set to display images 4:3, and so it does not pillarbox. This means that if you tell your TV to display 16:9 while your xbox is sending 4:3 image, you get a horizontally stretched image, since the TV displays a 4:3 image across the entirety of a 16:9 screen.

I guess some of you people like to stretch your images, as many of my friends do with TV, but I find it quite painful. 4:3 images should be displayed 4:3.



Anyway, Halo 2 is the first Halo game capable of being rendered widescreen.
