Wasn't part of games for windows certification the ability to do widescreen rezs??? Halo2 is a flagship game for vista and this game doesn't support widescreen triplehead rezs? Man.....

Just because a game supports widescreen 16:9 and 16:10 resolutions does not mean it supports triplehead 12:3, 15:4, 5:1, and 16:3 resolutions.

Yeah, read the "Halo 2: Hypocrit addition" topic if you want to complain about Halo 2 and games for windows.

But i'm thinking Microsoft is going to go with an EA type of reaction for this one, and triplehead is a long way off.

NOTE: Triplehead isn't official 'widescreen' by industry terms (16:10 and 16:9) and isn't supported natively in many games at all, because developers don't want to bother to fix up the game to work with hardware that barely anyone has.

So does that mean there might be a hack for triple monitors or definitely not.

It means that one is needed (but you knew that) ... whether it is possible is another thing ...
Hopefully eventually someone will fix it ... :D
