BF2S Forums just interested to know what people are using.. and the resolutions

Regarding the FOV: I don't think it is quite as it ought to be on widescreen monitors.  It's not as bad as some games, but I don't think it's perfect.  There was a thread on the widescreen gaming forums that showed three images -- one was 1600x1200 stretched, one was 'normal' 1920x1200 and the other was running a widescreen 'fixer' program that corrected the FOV to what it should be.  The difference between the last two pictures wasn't huge, but there was a difference.  The difference between the stretched 1600x1200 one was very noticeable, though.

I play on a 24" @ 1920 x 1200 nowadays.  Used to play on a 21" @ 1024 x 768.  God bless CRTs -- those were the days.

It just stretches the image. Your field of view isn't any wider than regular 4:3 or 5:4.

LOL your statement tells me you don't know shit what you're talking about. It stretches the minimap and hud but everything is like it should be.

It stretches everything.
A regular crosshair at 1024x768 has a perfect 1:1 aspect ratio (right). Your crosshair, on the left is stretched.


If you can't see it, I can get a ruler.

That stretched minimap and crosshair is crap to me. Also, if you look at a round thing, like the tyre of a hummer, you'll notice that it's oval.

I only play infantry.

Aimless lol you perfectionist. Can I use your eyes to to view microscopic bacterias?

Will it make you more informed?

Since when does that make you unable to start a single-player game, and go take a look at a tyre? It sounds like you're just worming out, like always.

And you're calling aimless a perfectionist? Sheesh.

Are you serious I'm gonna care for that 1mm?

You tend to. And that still doesn't change the fact, nor strenghten your argument of the opposite, that everything gets stretched if you only apply a widescreen resolution.

What? It's too hard to start a game to check the graphics?

Why would I want to check the graphics? I like it as it is.

You're arguing that they're not stretched, if you didn't notice.

Sheesh, I'll even do it.

Just leave him be, he's too stubborn to admit his graphics aren't perfect.

Anyway, I play everything max at 800*600, hell yeah!
17" monitor btw. I wonder if setting it to a higher resolution would actually gain me any benifits lol, I'm just so used to sniping on 800*600...

that's fine, but this made me lol:

The point is for me the codes work great and I don't notice the crosshair is 1mm wider.

The point you made was that aimless doesn't know what he's talking about, and that everything is perfect, which it isn't. You still haven't admitted that you were wrong. If you would, for once, do that, it would save everyone a whole lot of trouble.

21" 4:3 1600x1200 at the moment, but I'm getting a 22" 1680x1050 widescreen samsung soon. This one is getting really blurry, Have to zoom web pages to be able to read the text. And unzoomable (is that a word?) programs are pain to use 'cos I can't see anything.
