Now I have Half Life 2 and played it on the 360, but have nothing to compare it to as I didn't play it on Xbox. The reviews of the game state it as having some issues. The loading can get old as it happens quite a bit, but it is rather short. I also had to play Half Life 2 in 480p to have it fit my screen for some reason. I only tried 720p, but did not try 1080i. |
Does anyone know when they will be offering the disc you can purchace if you can't download them. I keep checking the xbox site and it says available early December. Am I in the right place or is there a different site to get this.

I thought you could D/L on the internet and burn a disc for yourself....
|
They giveth, the taketh away.
Mortal Kombat Deception is now off the list. Can't wait to play Splinter Cell Chaos Theory again in 720p. |

Teaching junior high is starting to get to me i think. |
Splinter Cell doesn't work for me.
I even burned the latest to a disc and everything. Let me know if anyone has any luck with it. |
I got the patch last night, no problem. Played through the training mission of Splinter Cell without difficulty. It won't let me download the "new" maps for it though.

You happen to have the default.xex file?
MS is killing me. Not everyone cares about Halo 2. I want to play Chaos Theory on the 360. Update - Never mind, it just worked for me. |
Update:
Microsoft Recalls Xbox 360 Backward Compatibility Update A new update for Microsoft's growing list of Xbox games that are compatible with the new Xbox 360 was released on December 8th, but the update has already been removed from official servers following compatibility issues discovered with games already covered in the original backward-compatible roster. Several games in Ubisoft's Tom Clancy-licensed series, including Ghost Recon, Ghost Recon 2, Ghost Recon 2: Summit Strike, all three Splinter Titles, including the original, Pandora Tomorrow, and Chaos Theory, and both Rainbow Six 3 as well as Rainbow Six 3: Black Arrow were included in the new update. (Only Ghost Recon: Island Thunder and Rainbow Six 3: Lockdown were missing from a full Tom Clancy complement of Xbox titles.) As with other games released as backward-compatibility profiles for the Xbox 360, the new titles were playable in increased resolution and widescreen support. However, those who installed the update discovered that it took away such support from another important title: Microsoft's own Halo 2. After updating the backward-compatibility list, Halo 2's graphics were only available in the standard 4:3 resolution, a jump back from its previously upgraded 16:9 rendition on the 360. Microsoft has since removed the compatibility upgrade, presumably in order to post a corrected version with full Halo 2 functionality restored in the near future. |
The issue has been resolved:

I was happy to learn about backward compatibility with Rainbow Six/Ghost Recon 2. But was disappointed that it was in 4:3 resolution. Do we have a list of old Xbox games that are in widescreen mode?
|
Actually, most Xbox games were in widescreen.
But if there weren't on the the original, they didn' make them widescreen on the X360. That was something I thought they would do. So Splinter Cell 1 & 2 run at 4:3 @ 720p. |
I thought HD signals had to be 16:9 and that was a major reason to have HD. So why is it that a video game would use 4:3, it is like taking a step backwards. I also didn't know it was possible to have true HD in a 4:3 ratio.
I may be getting confused here, but when I tried Half Life 2 it went to 4:3 ratio when I selected 720p. So I switched my Xbox 360 to 480p and it went back to 16:9. I thought Half Life 2 was just not supporting 720p. Am I wrong here??? |
You can still have things running in 720p but in a 4:3 format. I was watching the Pistons game last night on WB-HD and it was in 4:3 format.
I personally though Half-Life 2 didn't run that great in 1080i on the 360....I didn't even try to switch it to 480p |
Another Update on the problem... (joystiq)
Patch renders Xbox games unplayable on 360 Related entries: Online, Xbox 360 xbox 360 Xbox 360 Fanboy has the scoop on the latest backwards compatibility drama for the Xbox 360. In introducing an update to include Tom Clancy titles last week, Microsoft somehow disabled 16:9 support for Halo 2. The update was promptly pulled and patched, but numerous complaints have been posted that the patch does not install correctly, rendering backwards compatibility dead all together. It’s unclear how widespread the bug is, but it’s a good idea to hold off on the patched update if you haven’t already downloaded it. |
oops

What a cluster fuck. MS really dropped the ball on this. I'd be pissed if I had sold my X-box for a 360 like I thought about months back as I'm currently playing through Halo 2 for the first time, and have KOTOR 2 and PoP:WW on deck. And plan to pick up Jade Empire eventually.
