Widescreen Gaming Forum

Check this out ...

Armando Marini from DICE has taken the time to answer all of those questions the community has been asking. I'd like to thank him personally for being this forth coming with answering everyone's questions.

Will we see support for widescreen mode? The current method from the command line with +szx 1920 +szy 1200 added to the command shortcut is a kludgy workaround. In my mind from last released games only in Quake4 have true 16x9 support.

When the user data that we get shows that this is a more common setup, then we will create a better solution. As you say, only Quake 4 properly supports it. I imagine this is more because people on their development team have widescreen monitors rather than the degree of usage in the real world.

Yeah, I saw that the other day...what a tosser, you just have to look at this forum to see the amount of demand for widescreen support. :roll:

Actually, did someone make an online petition for this a while back? Perhaps we could pass it on to the TotalBF2 team and get them to show Mr. Marini the "user data" that "shows that this is a more common setup". :)

My thread over at the EA forums has now been locked ... I guess they didn't like the truth ... :shock:

Cheez, these people are hard to convince. I think they will never learn.

I sent an email too... a lot of good it will do too; EA doesn't really care for support. I prefer AA over BF2 anyhow.

A part of what i wrote:
I would have thought widescreen was a ‘must have’ feature on a cutting edge game like BF2 because true widescreen REALLY shows the game off. Yes, widescreen is owned by a minority but that it’s the top end ‘minority’ – those of us who sink serious money into graphics cards & monitors to make your games look truly awesome. :)

Someone should start another thread, that'll learn 'em. :P

EA will soon release ... it.
There too many WS on the market and the community is frequently asking for it. I doubt it will take another year....

I doubt it will take another year....

Lets hope so ... :D ... but you never know with EA ... :shock:

Lets hope so ... :D ... but you never know with EA ... :shock:

I'd have to agree with Paddy on this. EA always gives gamers 80% of what they want. Every game has 20% missing from it, and part of that is support & updates.

I have to agree on the fact that EA doesn't always care about their customers.... BUT

We are not talking about in game modification but technical one. This is alot more important that EA support correct hardware. And I heard that now the most commonly LCD sold by Newegg.com is the new Viewsonic VA1912W. And that Widescreen monitor market is becoming more and more important everyday. EA is on a tight rope...
