Subject: Did 343 fix the FOV for CEA?

Does anyone know if 343 have fixed the FOV for Halo CEA? Playing both the Xbox and the PC version, the FOV wasn't the usual 90 degree's that most games's use. On the PC version at least, this was fixable and when ran at 1080p (not the 360 upscaled stuff) Halo looked like a truly astounding game for it's age. (For those unaware, the fov = Field of view and how much you can see on the screen, the higher, the better)

Now, having seen the campaign demo, it appears that the FOV has been changed, the AR doesn't look as big as it used to (looking very similar to the 90 degree FOV) which would be a big plus in the overall experience in my opinion. If anyone could confirm this it would be greatly appreciated. Thankyou

If you look at the vids of Anniversary you can see that its fixed. All vids are in full screen and do not have the same problem we PC players had to endure. xD

I use the FOV fixer with 1080p and on some levels I can see things spawn in cutscenes. The sentinels at the begining of Two Betrayals can be seen spawning somtimes. Another thing happens on the Silent Cartographer where after you disable the security system and the cutscene showing the zealot is played. If you look to the right you can see the window in that hallway, but the part of the map outside the window is not loaded. You just see the purple edge of the map.

I assume these can be easily fixed by having the sentinel spawn lower and fly up like the ones infront of the Cheif. Also that one part of the map on Silent Cartographer can be changed with to be part of the same BSP that the zealot is in so they load at the same time.

What's FOV? I'm assuming it's Field of View.

Edit: Didn't read the whole thing. Have been educated.
