I'm hoping somebody could help me. When I play Halo on my 360, it doesn't display in widescreen, instead it displays with black bars on the right and the left of the picture. Is it supposed to be like this or is there a way to make it widescreen? My Halo 2 displays in widescreen so I don't know. Any help would be appreciated.

I'm certifiable.

The original Halo was not written with support for widescreen TVs... so alas even the mighty 360 can't show us the original Halo in 16x9 format. In order to get widescreen they'd have to rewrite the whole game.

-- Steve's run into that with other earlier Xbox titles on the Xbox... no widescreen KOTR or Mechwarrior, either. *sigh*

Thanks for the info. Bungie lied to me with this:

Damn them and this slight inconvenience.
