Big Team CTF. <3Mhm.
Hnnnng.
If we're talking about all the people who will ever buy or play this game, most of them won't even know the difference.
It's going to have a setting for "Original Xbox" graphics?

OP was updated, although the MP was always confirmed as 1080p60 (an oversight by me regardless). Thread title would have to be edited by a Mod.
Added to OP.

Riiight...
"Halo 2 remaster is 1328 x 1080"
"But what about The Order?"
And I'm the one that has a clear bias?
and no I don't have the money for an X1, so I won't be buying it, but if there was a PC release...

lol you seem very concerned
just like in most xbone threads
It's not like H5 is running two games at once or did I miss something. Plus H2A:MP already looks better than the remastered campaign and it's 1080p.

Hell no. I'll play through it multiple times. I already got the weekend of that week so I can go through all four games in one sitting with a buddy.

How anybody could be upset with this, I have no idea.

That's fine by me considering that literally everything else is full 1080 and that the H2A is running both the old audio and video engine along with the new ones. I love the switching back and forth.
Having both engines running and everything in memory makes sense, but why would you need to render both simultaneously?
Why not skip the render of the one not shown?
Crazy talk, enough with that poisonous rhetoric.

I can't *believe* these lazy developers keep making file sizes so damn large. Btw, how does technology work?
Is this certain? If so, not a huge deal. So long as the multi is 1080p, I don't care
So why did they elect to do that? Is flipping between the old engine and the new engine instantly a feature now?

Yes, every resolution and frame rate have been confirmed.

Game looks gorgeous btw... can't wait to play this.
It's literally a patented feature, yes.

Seriously. It is my biggest problem with the community at large and especially this forum. Every other thread is about resolution, parity and other console warz topics rather than focusing on the most important part "enjoyment of the games."
I really think the game development community must be so disheartened by the vocal gamers who only care about pixel counting. Digital Foundry is a black mark on the community.
Hmm, I'm OK with this really.
I'm not sure how much H2A is pushing the X1 since this seems a total remake, and Im not sure if it was to the same quality as H1A, or beyond that, so may explain it.
That and I do value the ability to switch between Remake/Original. Bit of a shame it can't handle "true" 1080p, but if the trade of is I can go back to the original, I'll take it.
I wonder if the the other Halos are "true" 1080p though.

Well it doesn't help that this thread only had a link and the resolution in the title. I'm sure OP just wanted to make informations readily available, of course.
After Halo 4's terrible online, which entirely ruined Halo multiplayer I'm not sure if I am happy about 343 being in charge. They seem to make a lot of awkward decisions. Halo 4 online not about Halo's map control and power weapons, Halo 4 lobby system, adding ridiculous abilities, poor maps, very few at Halo 4 retail, little online gameplay types, no mlg playlist, etc., etc.
Going for 60 FPS is ignoring Halo precedence and canon. If I'm not mistaken, all the previous Halo's were 30FPS. With 30 FPS, they achieved critical acclaim. In terms of publicity, the game will receive much more negativity not being at a standard high resolution of 1080p found in every tv and monitor rather than a 30 FPS and 1080 especially for a remake. It's not a new game, so people will be more willingly to accept 30 FPS. That trade off is a lot better. Halo at a locked 30FPS or even 40FPS is perfectly playable online and is what previous Halo gamers played, and I played a ton of it as a Halo 3 MLG gamer. And we would get better IQ.
edit: If I'm wrong about previous Halo's being at 30FPS I apologize.
It's a huge part of the anniversary treatment. They did it for Halo: CEA as well.

I mean if it was a solid 30 at an actual 1080p...isnt that better?
60fps is king for sure...just saying.
I honesty feel bad for you guys. Resolution is getting way more attention than the actual content of big name games this gen.

From my two + decades of gaming I think this is the worst one I've experienced in terms of discussion
You're sick, you know that?
Anyways, I actually play Halo for the single player more then multiplayer but I guess I'll deal with the scaling and stretching. I just would have preferred 1600x900 so the aspect ratio stays 16:9 instead of this weird one.
What is the benefit? I personally would have preferred the game run at FULL 1080p. It just seems to be an odd choice to sacrifice resolution in order to allow gamers to flip between the old engine and new instantly.

I think OP was excited about the game and wasn't bringing it up for wars. He even has it on pre-order. The fact he mentioned it is because he knew where the thread would go unfortunately.

Yes, that's what I said. I didn't mean the post to sound sarcastic.
In fact, it's a good title, for having immediate info. Too bad this are sensitive times xD

absolutely- first reason why I am Day 1 on this:coop campaign
second reason is that insane mp
What we could of had without some useless feature no one cares about for more than 5 minutes. Just sayin.

I had a weird HDMI cord that I used to run games from the 360 to my HDTV, it ran this weird resolution of 1440p x 1050p. I would switch it to 1280x720, 1080, though I could never see the damn difference even on larger televisions around 40". So in hindsight I don't the majority of people who purchase the MCC will really notice the difference in Halo 2 not being 1920 x1080p and running at the weird 1328 x 1080. It is the era of the weird xbox one resolutions.
I think even 720p60 is better than 1080p30, personally.
Framerate > resolution when it comes to playability (and I would always prefer 1080p30 to 900p30 or lower, even if it means pairing back on visual effects).
Blame Microsoft, not gamers. They're the ones who valued a $100 webcam over 1080p.
This my thought too. Why sacrifice resolution for toggling between the engines.
