November 9^th, 2005 (9:58pm) - In a move that won’t shock a single person anywhere, Bungie has finally confirmed that Halo and Halo 2 will work on the Xbox 360.

In a move that will make fans happy though, Bungie also said that both games will run in 720p, in widescreen, and utilize full-screen anti-aliasing. Also, Halo 2 will carry over onto Xbox Live through your Xbox 360.

Here’s the full quote from Bungie:

"To clarify, the ’new’ version of Halo or Halo 2 is simply the disk you have already. Pop it into your 360 and it’ll load up just like before. You will have to log into Xbox Live to enable Halo 2’s online functions, but both games will work immediately.

"But here’s another bonus - the hardware in the 360 can do a lot of nifty stuff, and specifically in the cases of Halo and Halo 2, it can display the graphics in wide screen, at 720p, with full scene anti-aliasing. And it doesn’t look kludgy, artifacty or smeary like an upscanning DVD player. The best way to describe it is that both games look like they’re running on a PC at those resolutions."
