A little
but...
Anyone experiencing HDTV wide-screen problems? I've found other people on the Bungie forums with the same prob but no real solution. It looks like it was a similar prob for Halo 2 and a patch was eventually released to address it.
In short, I'm unable to play at 16:9 to effectively take up the whole screen when we're playing 2-player co-op/MM/etc. It puts our screens in the middle and frames the rest with black bars. Apparently this prob existed during the H3 beta as well.
I got a 46" Sony Bravia XBR2. 360's set for 1080p, using the HDMI cable. No issues with other games. GoW doesn't have this prob, but apparently they increased the Field of View (FOV) to achieve this (which some people claimed was an advantage over fullscreen players).
Anyway it's annoying. I can use my tv's Wide Zoom mode to remedy the problem but once I switch back to the main menu everything is off and I have to switch to Full mode on the tv. My HUD nade count was also getting cut off in Wide Zoom but I fixed that.
I guess it's a game issue on Bungie's part (considering H2 patch). Here's a thread on Bungie about it (for more search for "tv cut off"):

*edit: zooming obviously stretches the image. Seems some people in that thread find maintaining the 16:9 ratio more important and don't mind the black bars.
