Play Halo first, even if you've played it on PC. It's SO much better on Xbox than PC (I bought both). It's also amazing in multiplayer co-operative (more so than Halo 2).Barry Smalley said:Just bought a 360 to play with on my 37" HDTV. Now I've never had an Xbox before nor have I played Halo 2, but it does appear to be my sort of game.
Are there any issues with playing it on the 360?![]()

Yeah, at the start of the game (in the hanger) they are woeful. I can't believe it ever looked that bad!Nismo said:Just played H2 on the 360 for the first time. Works pretty smoothly, but I was expecting the graphics to be crisper than they are. The higher resolution also makes the lower-res Xbox 1 textures look a bit poor too.
Still, should be fun to play through![]()
You using the official VGA cable?NokkonWud said:I notice a more AA effect from VGA... I do however prefer Component as the colours are stunning.
1v1, could do 2v2 with my mate as well?da_mic_1530 said:any1 up for a bit of online halo 2 action?
Change it to PAL-50, then switch back to the VGA cableVandal said:Swapped cables back to VGA and I'm still getting the 'won't run in PAL-50' error.
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks.

Halo 2 is not a HD game, so unless I'm playiing HD games (through a HD ready LCD) I should be using component in? Or can you feed a HD signal through VGA, or is that what DVI is for?

That explains the poor VGA colour then.NokkonWud said:Joytech VGA cable.
i-bert said:Yeah no VGA for Halo.And you can't play the game in HD through component without getting that dreaded stutter you used to get with 60hz mode.
It was smooth as silk on xbox1 at 50hz.
Nismo said:When I played it last night (720p, component) it seemed to automatically set itself to 50Hz anyway. I checked this via the TV's info menu, and it changed back to 60Hz once I was back in the 360 dash.
