I'll keep it brief. I loaded up the game last night for the first time with my bro last night to play the campaign co-op on my 16:9 LCD. We were both shocked and outraged. Surely this is some bug. After reading this, I am MORE outraged. So Bungie is trying to say "with a 4:3 screen pillar boxed in a 16:9 screen, both player's viewable area is a perfect 16:9 window on top of each other". What a joke - so THEY are trying to convince that every single multoplayer game is wrong and only they do it right. This is so bunk, it is beyond belief. It's broken - plain and simple. I refuse to buy this "oh it's perfect 16:9 screen for each player" - I don't care if you change the horizontal field of view, or do some kind of stretch, but DON"T LEAVE EMPTY SCREEN SPACE. I'm a Quality Assurance Software Engineer, and if Halo 3 shipped under my watch like this, I would have quit. This is totally unacceptable. Release a patch with AT LEAST AT MINIMUM the option to take up my whole screen. I didn't pay two grand for a tv to have 50% of the pixels shooting black.
