To clarify, when you run the Xbox 1 version of these games on your 360, the graphics will be much improved.

Bungie
A year after Halo 2 arrived in stores, and almost four years since the original Halo, it seems only logical that we should make them prettier right? Although that prettiness has a relatively high entry point ? the arrival of a new generation of hardware in the shape of the Xbox 360.

A while back, Microsoft announced that the 360 would have some level of backward compatibility. A handy feature for folks with big Xbox collections moving into the future. We worked closely with that team to ensure that Halo and Halo 2 both performed according to plan. That meant a lot of work for our test team.

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.

It is a patch. All backwards compatibility will be handled with patches.

They should have gotten Halo 1 on Xbox Live in addition to the graphical update. Fun multiplayer in Halo 1.

Bah. Lack of full backwards compatibility seems completely unacceptable this day in age. Still upset about that.

Personally, I think the quest for BC is completely overrated. There's maybe two Xbox games that I might want to continue playing. And even still, once I play the new 360 games, I probably won't even want to bother with the last gen.

If BC was so important to me, I'd just hang on to my Xbox.

Rumor has it that HL2 will have upgraded visuals, as well.

If this becomes commonplace, one can easily argue that this is way better than typical BC.

There hasn't been a console with full backwards compatibility and I doubt you'll see one in the future.

I agree, I've never seen my friends use their PS2 to play PS1 games except to test that they work.

It's a novelty function that is nice for when you only have 1 or 2 games when you first get the system, but once those newer games start to roll in, you're not really going to want to play the old games anymore unless they have some sort of appealing replay value (which tend to be rare on console games)
