Halo 3: ODST won’t feature 720p resolution

July 24th, 2009 Posted in Console, FPS, Microsoft, Technology, Xbox 360


In an age where HD reigns supreme along comes Bungie to let everyone know that Halo 3: ODST will not feature a 720p resolution. In fact, it will run at the same resolution that Halo 3 did, 1152×640.

Now, you can’t really get on Bungie’s case about this as ODST is essentially just an add-on for Halo 3 which means it’s running on the exact same engine. But for those of you who think the improved graphics of the ODST mean enhanced technology, think again.

Bungie elaborates on the subject:

“Everything that existed in Halo 3’s engine was there from the beginning. So the graphical differences that you’re seeing in ODST is really testament to the artists, because they were able to just take the tools that we had from the beginning, and just make awesome looking stuff.”

Halo 3: ODST will hit store shelves exclusivly for the Xbox 360 on September 22nd, 2009.
