Halo 2 Anniversary

I think the idea was with widescreen you would have more space to work with compared to horizontal?

On the Xbox it was horizontal, but I guess halo 2 defaults to its 'hd/widescreen mode' whenever run on a 360.

will it come with the 900000000000000000 glitches still intact?

I heard some people actually like playing broken games.

Space Invaders.

You may technically have more pixels per player to work with, but when it looks like you have blinders on, you can't see anything, and it's such a pain. You may have a great view of the floor and ceiling, but you can only see the enemy standing right in front of you.

I'm pretty sure you get the same number of pixels no matter how you divide the screen in half. It's still half.

Also all the haters can eat feces, I want this game.

Look at H3 and (I think) Reach- if you do split screen it cuts off a bit on either side to keep a 16:9ish ratio for both players, just shrunk down. H2's vertical splitscreen utilizes the entire screen, but sacrifices any sort of peripheral vision, which drives me nuts.

Examples of each type of splitscreen

Star Wars called, it wants its re-release marketing back.

I'm pretty sure Halo 4 will be the last halo game, and they'll spend the next 20 years remaking each one over and over again.

Hmm. I don't recall Halo 2 doing it that way. Either way, I'd still definitely take extra horizontal FoV over a better view of the ceiling.

[JackalStomper]

given the new reticle position in everything post halo 2 seems like having a good view of the ceiling was a priority for bungie

They're making way to many halo games.
