Re: Sign here for true widescreen support.

DICE do NOT support widescreen resolutions - this will give the widescreeners an advantage so they have more peripheral vision. Alternately, support widescreen in such a way that they will have to have black frames on the side OR have the image squashed accordingly.

The vast majority of players have regular-proportioned monitors and there is no valid reason to give a minority a marked advantage over everyone else.

Widescreens were never introduced as game-monitors - they are not designed for it anyway with their low because of their low ms-ratings.

It's fine for Sudoku and Tetris, but it has no place in 3D FPS games. At least not yet.

Cheers :-)

Any decent 3D FPS has widescreen support:

Doom 3, Quake 4, HAlf Life 2 and therfore CS: source... Toca 3 ( whilst his predeccesor TOCa 2 wouldnt showing that WS monitors are the must have nowadays )

Colin MAcrae 04/05...

Etc
etc
etc

NEarly 100% of games that are made and have been made through the past two years have WIdescreen support.

And a game like BAttelfield 2 has to have it.

Listen dear... did you consider an unfair advantage that Quake 2 implemented support for the new generation graphic cards ( voodoo 1 / voodoo rush 3DFX ) in 1997 that installed in our system would eye candied the game and boost performance a 200% ??

Cause the people that we have a voodoo card in that time where a much smaller minority than the people that actually own a WS monitor

And the advantage over regular graphic cards was far more bigger than the advantage of a WS monitor over a 4:3 one...

So please if you try to post arguments at leat post true ones.. not some stupid BS

People like you remind me of those that would neevr develop new alternatives , evolution and such.

They´ll stick in what they already know... neglecting development and future.

Hi, i have an Apple 20" cinema display and dying for Widescreen.

Specially for 1280x800 resolution.

Re: Sign here for true widescreen support.

I drive past EA headquarters several times a week. Each time I do, I give them the middle finger soley based upon their pathetic lack of response to this issue.

I admit, I have stopped playing because this sucks balls so badly. I even bought Armored Fury AND NEVER EVEN PLAYED IT. I can't bring myself to double-click the icon on my desktop because this game looks so pathetic compared to all the great games that do support 16:10 natively.

F.E.A.R.
Call of Duty 2
Far Cry
Half-Life 2

These games I can still play.

I won't be buying BF 2142.

And EA employees, when you're eating lunch at Amici's across the street, I've given the chef a special instruction as to how to prepare your chilled broccoli salads. You don't even want to know.

Re: Sign here for true widescreen support.

How about giving a letter box option to non widescreen players? As far as I care its not a matter of fair, its what ppl want and whats one the market. And right now BF2 dosn't have a whole lot going for it and everything against it in fact (bugs and disconnects).

Re: Sign here for true widescreen support.

Doesn't this give an advantage to widescreen players because they have a bigger FOV?

Thats what someone claimed awhile back, but who f'in cares. We buy a widescreen, advantage or not, we bought something that a game should support!

and I too agree that in light of 2142, EA/DICE will forget all about BF2. Thats why nobody should buy 2142. Don't be a sucker and buy another product from them.

Re: Sign here for true widescreen support.

Yes, give us widescreen. I have 1280x800 but I have to play with 1024x768 which takes away quite much of my display :/

Re: Sign here for true widescreen support.
