When asked what resolution ODST would run at, Bakken replied "the same as Halo 3."

When asked if that meant it would run at less than 1280x720, he confirmed "yes, exactly."

As anyone who still remembers the immediate aftermath of Halo 3's launch will know, there was some controversy after it emerged that the game - the then latest instalment in the 360's flagship franchise - ran at a resolution of 1152×640, rather than the 1280x720.

Uses the exact same engine as Halo 3, so I'm not surprised.

Does it matter? no.

Ya it does because after three years of an engine being out that can't even do minor work on it? On a full retail game of all things. I mean im excited for the game. Just think they'd put alot more effort into it I mean bungie delivers theres no denying that

Meh. The biggest AAAAE this gen doesn't run in native 720p, either. It doesn't seem very important, unless people changed their minds about MGS4?

I see no problem in hyping it AAA. Either way it will sell millions, and be fun so i could care less if i get owned in system wars.

Yeah, but you have to remember that Halo is garbage and it has horrible gameplay terrible graphics that make people go blind, and blind people go unblind, and then more blind after seeing it.

Unfortunately the issue here isn't only that Halo 2/3 isn't in sub 720p, but that it also graphicly can't even math up to most N64 games:

Halo 3 in-game action 2 Pictures, Images and Photos

But hey, it's gameplay that matters right? That's why some of 2005's greatest hits can be found only on X-Box 360.

um its all ready been posted, mgs 4 was sub 720p and um halo 2 and 3 look far better then most n64 games...

Which proves what? It was originally an expansion. The project became more ambitious and the game became much longer. Its now a full game. The name has barely changed.(from Recon to ODST), but the game has. Deal with it.

Your attempt at bashing was one of the worst I've ever seen.

Given the size of the environments im wasnt expecting much. But really, Halo 3 looked gorgeous in some points and at other points an upscaled XBOX game.

http://www.360-gamer.com/news.asp?id=3548

When asked what resolution ODST would run at, Bakken replied "the same as Halo 3."

When asked if that meant it would run at less than 1280x720, he confirmed "yes, exactly."

As anyone who still remembers the immediate aftermath of Halo 3's launch will know, there was some controversy after it emerged that the game - the then latest instalment in the 360's flagship franchise - ran at a resolution of 1152×640, rather than the 1280x720.

A lot of PS3 games run at sub HD resolutions... I hope you're not trying to claim ownage. GTA4 on the 360 ran at 720p, while the PS3 version was sub HD. So, I don't see your point on this.
