Battlefield 2 & 2142 Widescreen Hack

[Bonne]

From Widescreen Gaming Forum:

I wrote this program a long time ago but never released it. This hack will adjust the FOV on-the-fly so you have regular Hor+ play.

Note: This is for single player only. Use of this during multiplayer matches on Punkbuster-enabled servers may get you in trouble. Use at your own risk.
Instructions are included in the zip file.

I now have an official page for this project here:

Someone has asked PB if this is cheating and got this answer:

At this time, we are not considering them to be malicious and they are not breaking anything that would trigger a violation, so go ahead and allow it for the time being. If this changes, we'll make the appropriate announcements.

1920x1080 without hack 16:9

There still seems to be some issues. It messes with your in-vehicle zoom and some folks are saying that their external views are disorienting (F10-F12) and sometimes non-functional. I'm going to have to try this again myself so I'm not just spreading rumors. :dead:

why does someone named Jessica Simpson saying "my girlfriends" anything sound awesome?

So This Seems Contradictory to Me

They don't allow widescreen in the game when they made it since it gives players an advantage. Yet when some third party creates a patch that gives us widescreen they don't call it cheating?

Something about this seems illogical to me...

The patch looks quite cool I am still hoping that 1.4 will have a true DICE supported widescreen mode... and I will probably still be hoping for that after 1.4.

DICE is lazy, 'nuf said.

Yup, really LAZY! All scopes in game are 5:4 (or something similar), so unless you stretch them you would see past 'em on the sides.

[Wizrdwarts]

Don't some gun models just "cut off" if you have widescreen. Plus Pillum?sniper scopes would also only occupy the middle of the screen and the edges you could still see through.

[Biotech2142]

Is more like stretched to fit the screen and not a true widescreen or it would be illegal...

Edit: Now I noticed it is true widescreen....I want to know if this is legal or unfair advantage...

It's true widescreen. You can see more.

It resets the sniper scope to 5:4 ever time you zoom in, still a pretty sweet mod. I just got done playing with it in BF2 a bit, driving is a whole new experince (like you have real FOV).
