To those with LCD screens over the max resolution of Halo...

Post by WaeV »

Fear no more! I just discovered a (probably already well-known) way to force Halo to run at higher resolutions to prevent that fuzzy look. Simply add -vidmode width,heihgt,refresh at the end of the target box in your shortcut. mine looks like this:

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Halo\halo.exe" -vidmode 1680,1050,75

Right, but people (like me) may not have known about this.

Unfortunately it won't let you run it at a resolution higher than your monitor supports. That would be awesome for taking screenshots.
