Halo 3 Running at 640p?
Halo 3’s release in the past few days is astounding, with sales of more than $170 million nationwide. As with BioShock’s release, many problems are surfacing on the web with Halo 3, including disc-read errors, scratched DVDs, and now claims that the game does not run in High Definition, as was advertised by Bungie.
The folks at Beyond 3D Forums have done some analyzing, and have come to the conclusion through pixel counting, that Halo 3 in fact runs natively at 640p, not 720p required for High Definition.
This revelation may be infuriating with tech-savvy individuals, causing pitch fork mobs to gather across the internet to dispute Bungie’s claim of Halo 3 HD gaming goodness. Is pixel counting a reliable method of determining the resolution of Halo 3? Or, should we count on Bungie’s word? Perhaps they were taking in consideration some kind of measurement uncertainty value in their calculation (engineers will know what that is).
