as far as i know it's not doable. I tried to figure it out and it's always a 4:3 ratio. I can't believe they couldn't get it to work on widescreen.

you could change yourxbox settings to a 4:3 ratio, that may help to have over and under instead of side by side

Good question, I think it merits some acknowledgment. No split screen widescreen, say hello to the black side markers, rendering almost 1/3 of your screen useless.

What games? So far every game I've seen except Halo 3 co-op has widescreen. This is a huge screw up on it's own but if there are more of them then there is a really huge problem. MS's "next gen" flagship really isn't what it should be if it can't properly utilize a widescreen display. Halo 2 did it perfectly.

Guys come on, this is the second post I've seen about this, use your noggins. There is no windscreen splitscreen co-op because the image will be stretched and distorted if it was half of the TVs height and the full TVs length... anyway playing it online with a full screen is the way to go.

Bungie should release a patch that fixes this. Totally unacceptable.

That's why the image should be 16x9 like it is when playing single-player.

It is 16x9, unless you play split screen, then they logicaly shrink the image to maintain the preportion, people need to realise this and stop complaining about it like it's a problem.

It really sucks. It's like playing on a tiny screen even on my 50 inch LCD. I thought I was the only one who was dissapointed.

he's right. Although it may be somewhat frustrating, Bungie did this so that they could maintain the aspect ratio. If they would only cut the screen horizontally in half but mainatin the full vertical length, the ratio would go from 16x9 to16x4.5 which is just wierd! I personally think that Bungie should have released an option to chose both ratios. whatever, just press "zoom" or increase the "pic size" on your TV...you could prob find those options on your TV's remote.

I'm not sure if it's logical or not but it sure does suck. Other FPS's on this system and others fill up the screen. I could care less if the pic is cropped or not at least give us a choice. Part of the appeal of the Halo series is multi player split screen and online. It's a FPS that's like a party game as well.
