So I will stay with 16x12 as its AWESOME anyway! :lol:

That's what I do ... :shock: ... :lol:

I would summarise this to

Contact DICE to fix battlefield 2

maybe theres some new patches out now, but since the day it came out it only took about 1 hour to decide i hated it with loathing and wanted my money bacl =(

Nightrider, I understand your plight but a little harsh on the game. BF2 is still one of the best FPS's I have played in years (this was after being dissed by UBI and the GR2 release that didn't). The lack of widescreen blows as is apparent by our cries here but still the Dell 2405 shines with or without. If you haven't played give it a shot.

I played it on my 21" non widescreen. Its more the feel of the game (and the seemingly terrible graphics) that put me off =( despite loving battlefield 1942/Desert Combat (which i still play coz i love to fly helicopter with my joystick ^^)

Maybe theres some wrong with BF2 and 6800GT that even when i go and set resolutions and all the rest to nice and extremely high, it still looks like a 640x480 game ? i really dont know. I keep telling myself to download patch and give it another shot... but i keep getin sidetracked by WoW =(

meant no harshness to the game, and i apoligise. stated my opinion a bit too loudly methinks

Hey, no harshness taken. :o If you can't speak your mind what's the sense? Check the graphic settings and display settings. The 6800 should have no problem with Anti-Aliasing (IF it's working and not fried from the overclock) so definitely turn that on and experiment with it to see how far you can push it up before losing performance. As an example, a buddy came to my house who I game with and was overwhelmed by how nice the graphics looked on mine compared to his. We have relatively the same HDW other than monitors. His a a Sony CRT but still a 24" WS which should perform compared to my Dell 2405. Obviously, his settings are screwy which maybe your issue. Good luck!

The new expansion pack is due out soon, I wonder if it will contain widescreen support?

Of course not! :lol: That would be sensible... ;)

It just isn't worth for them PS...when bad scheduling in the IT Dev cycle occurs, something is going to get scraped or not worked on. I speak from experience here. They don't consider it a priority. They should reevaluate the market. I think they would be in for a BIG surprise. Would widescreen not payoff in console gaming as well?? How does that work? Tell me the majority of consoles are not being played on WS TV's :?:
