Known issues:
Stretched loading screens and rare FMVs.
Minor UI display and alignment issues. Use the UI adjustment keys if necessary.
The window mode switching requirement is also undesirable, hence the version number!
Tested the latest Epic version at 2560x1080, briefly at 3840x1080, 5760x1080, 5120x2160 and 7680x1080 on a single monitor.

The tools for the Steam and Microsoft Store versions of Halo: Reach, Halo 2: Anniversary, Halo 3, ODST, and Halo 4 offer real-time solutions for the cutscenes at ultrawide, superwide and triple monitor resolutions. Depending on the game, they remove the black bars, correct the vertical FOV reduction or allow to choose between the scaling behaviors of the FMVs. The password for the archives is pcgw
Play the game in the Anti-Cheat Disabled mode for this to work. Launch the game first, then the tool.
The tool is a trainer based on CE components that may trigger some anti-virus software. Making it into a patcher would be inconvenient, as it would likely require replacing files before each launch in the anti-cheat-enabled mode.
Tested the Xbox / Microsoft Store versions of all games at 2560x1080, 5120x1440 and 5760x1080.
