Halo 2 Widescreen (dumb question)

I am going to be purchasing a widescreen soon, but will halo 2 (on the 360) play in widescreen and look normal, or will it letterbox?

Wrong.

If you switch it to widescreen it will.

The environment will look normal but the HUD will stretch! It's kinda dumb but oh well.

Yeah, I thought with a wider monitor you could have a wider field of vision, but I doubted that would work anyway

It's usually "normal" you cockwrench (didn't know you could switch to widescreen), althought the effects of 720p aren't fully optimized and some stuff is fuzzy and stretched out. Still playable all the same.

Where in that did he say it was HD?

If you have a wide screen TV and it's set to wide screen in the Dash then it will appear normal, except the HUD will stretch a bit like Darknet said. At least that's what happened when I had a 16:9 TV.

re: Halo 2 Widescreen (dumb question)

I'm just saying thats what its like for me with my monitor, like I said I never knew you could switch to widescreen on a standard TV and have the letterbox effect. Perhaps I should word things more carefully

re: Halo 2 Widescreen (dumb question)

Well, I am going to be using this monitor with the vga adaptor cable. I believe its an equivalent to a widescreen hdtv.

re: Halo 2 Widescreen (dumb question)

Looks similar to mine, cept mine isn't widescreen (and cost a little bit more)...If the setup works for you, it should work for me too...
