Stinkles, has it been announced yet whether or not these 60fps are locked figures or "close to"? Locked would be pretty damn awesome.

Let's hope we can steer this thread's discussion away from pixel counting.
Haven't had a chance to look at any of the videos but that hornet screenshot looks so amazing!

Yes, it's the campaign that's running lower.
That will be cool for you, but it's too niche.
1080p is more important to a larger amount of people.

Mhm.
Hnnnng.
Cannot. Fucking. Wait. TMCC is my most anticipated game this year, Destiny has been a stop gap for my Halo thirst.
I like it, that's why it's in there.

No scaling is the word, but that is assuming a certain display device resolution.

This thread will be bigger than any other Halo thread because pixels and frames.

That's good to see! I wonder if other developers will choose a similar resolution instead of 900p in the future. Also, are you making use of the hardware scaler, and if so, will we see proper gamma values. I get worried with games that run sub-1080p on XB1 as some of the launch window games using the scaler have crushed blacks.
FWIW, I think 1328x1080 is a better choice of rendering resolution for 1080p displays than 1600x900.
Obviously neither is as good as native (and above native is even better
), but if that's the pixel count you can manage then you should arrange it like this and not 16:9.Their target was to run two engines simultaneously at the highest fidelity possible. 343 never lied about what H2A was trying to achieve or the resolution it would end up at.

Yea, I don't think I'll ever be switching back and forth during the game...I did it once or twice in Halo: CE Anniversary and never again after that. Ah well :-/

I hope it's actually 60fps. The H2A campaign footage I saw looked very choppy.

It was just a question and I said I didn't care about that type of thing. Take that crap elsewhere. No one was trying to fuel a console war argument. It's clear from your reaction where your bias lies though. You come into a thread of a game you have no intention of buying just to say foolishness. Stop it.

I did that plenty with Halo CE Anniversary, this is actually the best feature there for me and while I'm disappointed that they didn't manage to get it done in full HD, if that is what they had to do and keep it "switchable" I'm ok with that. I play the anniversary versions not only because I think they are fun but also because I want to feel a little nostalgic.
The original campaign is still 1080p. I don't think it will be a huge deal. Most people will be playing MP anyway, it's really not a huge deal.
I think it's probably because the other games are all 60fps.
Going from 60fps to 30fps would be much more jarring that 1080p to semi-1080p.
No. 60 fps >>>>>>>>> all

343i is in charge now, and they're very serious about 60 fps being the new standard, especially with Halo 5 targeting that. There's nothing wrong with making the old games run twice as fast, especially when there's already precedence for that with the PC ports of CE and 2.
Sigh, I think you're overreacting just a little bit.

At E3 they specifically said that H2A campaign wasn't 1080p at the time.

take out the ability to switch back and forth on the fly then-
should have been 1080p/30
thats what Im gathering-should have said with an asterisk
should have been 1080p/30

OP and thread title really should be updated to reflect this. If the H2A multiplayer is still 1080p / 60fps that's all I care about.
Did they say H2 campaign would be 1080p/60?
gamechanger87
Member
What? How does this have anything to do with it? They came out from the beginning and said H2A might not make it but everything else would.
You are wrong. 343 always had a caveat for h2A's campaign resolution.

Because it will be running another engine simultaneously?
There's a beta in December so we'll find out soon enough.
Halo 5 will not run 2 engines on the same time, unlike Halo 2 Anniversary campaign.
This thread is ridiculous.

Multiplayer is. They said from the outset that H2A campaign might not make it.
I love how people can call someone a liar who never lied.

I didn't realize Halo 5 was going to run 2 engines at once.

And there is close to another year for them to optimize after that beta. Even the beta won't tell us for sure what the final version will be.
One engine for the black primary character, the other for the Chief.
Separate but equal.

They should have included this every time they spoke about the game obviously lol.
