Halo 3 will push the Xbox360's graphics to the limit. Everything will be in High-Definition(As with any other Xbox360 game). I myself have a widescreen HD LCD ready for the Xbox360. Here is a question. How many TVs out there are the normal 4:3 ratio screen size and are HD? A Majority of people who want to make the most of there Xbox360 buy a widescreen(16:9) tv. If thats the case, why would anyone make HD Xbox360 games without the ability to flip the games options to widescreen. I am sick of looking at my oval radar in Call of Duty 2. Don't you agree that halo 3 should have a widescreen abilty as well as a fullscreen setting?

It probably will.

It would be nice. The only problem is that "full screen" cuts off the ends of the "wide screen" so that would be a problem (advantage?) in multiplayer.

That is true, but I would still like for master chief to look normal in SP at least. But then again, people on a 4:3 tv could always switch it to widescreen so everything was squshed, but at least they could see everything.

Something's not right here. Any resolution that conforms to the HD standard (720p, 1080i etc) IS widescreen. If you're playing an xbox360 game on an xbox360 on a HD tv it should be displayed in proper widescreen.

I'd check your settings if I were you.

Every game so far for the 360 has supported 720p HD Widescreen gameplay. Why would Halo 3 not?
