This has probably been asked, so sorry in advance but on split screen the display is too small for my TV, its like playing in 32" instead of 42", how do I change this?

Its fine when not in a game however..

Thanks

Going to have to learn to play games on a whole new level.

You can't, it's to maintain the correct aspect ratio.

Im new to Halo so we can get whooped together, and I think the campaign would be decent in co-op mode, certianly up for playing it through with you if you buy it back. Just finished the first chapter last night so not far through at all.

Yeah If I can get into town tomorrow I will see if my impulsiveness racjes for my wallet again

I thought about running through an easier level on my own then co-op the harder levels.

Really?

Shocking tbh. Awful playing as it is.

Kreeee-wil try and add some people from here then

anyone wants to add me I'm Buckster76 - I'm useful as you'll gain lots of kills lol !

don't know what people are complaining about re graphics - look at Bungies screenshots - note there is a separate part for Renders - graphics look amazing - no jaggies at all

Would you prefer the bodged screen ratios from halo 2?

No but if other games manage the simplicitys of split screen I'm sure this game could have.

Will just have to buy another copy.

They do it by cropping the top and bottom. I prefer it this way without losing any information.

Playing through it on Heroic I think, one down from Legendary whatever it was. The most annoying thing was I had to do one part about 4 times, it just didnt seem to save my progress and Id done quite a bit. Seems a decent difficulty level, some bits pose a bit of a problem so as not to bore yourself just wandering through without getting hit.

(3) basically with multiplayer you just have to play pot luck .. so if you want to play say king of the hill - or a rocket game etc - you could potentially have to play for 5 games before one came up ? Surely this is a step back from a multiplayer point of view ??

there is a vote system, if enough people don't like the map it'll change it, by pressing X

Andybtsn · 28 Sep 2007 at 20:59

Legendary is rather hard, even on co-op.

Ive just started playing Halo 3 and is it just me or does it not seem loud enough in game i.e. guns and explosions! Its quite loud when the menu music is on but in game its not that loud?

Yep, just the way it is.

I don't seem to have this problem at all. The AR sounds weak but NOT quiet.

Everything seems as loud as it should be. :confused:

It's a crap system because it veto's the map AND game type.

Nexus · 28 Sep 2007 at 22:23

I assume they have done it this way because it means all the game modes get played. Might not be such an issue right now, but further down the line you will get people not even touching certain game modes, so it makes them a waste and if you do want a game of a certain type you might not find people playing it. At least this way it mixes things up so everyone plays everything.
