Draw distance flaw absent on hi-def?
Posted By: RocksliderDate: 11/24/07 3:54 a.m.


When I posted my opinions on Halo 3, the biggest negative I mentioned was the draw distance flaw that causes certain things to fade in and out as you move toward or away from them, or causes things to pop into view when you raise your magnification. But recently Red_Breast emailed to report that the flaw is actually absent when he uses a 360 VGA (D-Sub) cable with his TV. That was a big surprise to me; I always assumed that the only way my conventional TV would differ from hi-def would be in giving a slightly fuzzier image, something I'm not too fussed about. But apparently the game software is fashioning its output quite differently for different display set-ups.

Does anyone have the full story on this business, or know any useful links? And are Bungie really justified in foisting such a qualitatively different image on me just because of my TV set-up? What's the reason for it?
