Halo 2?

Post by **Trey** » Thu Jun 03, 2010 5:53 am

Is it just me or does Halo 2 have shockingly shitty graphics for a game from 2007?

And does anyone know how to get 16:10 resolutions on it?

The whole damned world asked the same thing. HOW? Yes, it's worse then in any low budget FPS on PC. And also got a very low perfomance on any hardware.

And does anyone know how to get 16:10 resolutions on it?

Change to the resolution which coresponds to such aspect. My monitor is 4:3 so I've never bothered myself with such question.

you know who knows EVERYTHING.

Who? Can't wait to know.

Well, it is an xbox port and was released 3 years after its debut on the previously mentioned system. What else could you expect?

There is no option to change aspect ratios, the stupid game was appearantly designed with the 'space-age' ability to optimize itself for you, but... someone forgot to add widescreen resolutions. Of course annoyingly the xbox version has widesceen resolutions. I think the Vista version has more resolution choses, not that I'm going to install friggin vista for them.

There's a hack for that.

And also forgot about quality graphics and good perfomance.

Hack it, baby, hack it good.

I can't find any reliable info on how to get widescreen on H2. I'm trying to get 1440x900...

Sorry Trey, but you're gonna be disappointed. 1440x900 is a no-go unless you want to hack the game with ArtMoney. (FYI, you'll have to do this every time you run the game.)

Here are two links detailing what resolutions are possible, including a solution to get it running with TripleHead2Go:

Trey, man don't waste your precious time with Gaylo 2, that game is just crap.
You're better off playing Halo 1, it's the best of the series.

I know... and I hated Halo 1.

I've just had this lying around for years, so I figured I'd test drive it. What can I say, I'm a glutton for punishment...
