I've seen several posts stating the using steam allows you to run half-life based games in 720p. I have the full steam installed and I only see 640x480, 800x600, and 1024x768 on the video options page. Is there anything I have to do to make 1280x720 available? I'm using powerstrip to get my Radeon 9800 pro to output the desktop in 720p.


Thanks,

Rob

Yes...There is an option in each game for standard or widescreen. Once you select widescreen 1280x720 will become available.

Max,

Thanks, I must be blind. That did it, and it looks great.

I remember Half-Life being one of the best looking games for it's time, but when I recently went back to play it on the 106" screen, it just could not compare to the new Unreal II/XMP shooters. I cannot wait to see what Half-Life II will look like!


Here is a sample of the free XMP multiplayer download. It is in 1280x720. I had to optimize it before uploading it, so it actually looks a bit better and brighter than this:

That does look beautiful. Actually I just wanted to get on Counter-Strike so I can mess with the voice com with my new bluetooth headset. I figured CS would be sufficient to test weather the voice com affects the response of the bluetooth mouse. I'm definately looking forward to HL2!
