I don't use this hack. I use the another.

"xxx\BF2.exe" +menu 1 +fullscreen 1 +szx 1680 +szy 1050

Works fair enough. No problems with Punkbuster.

Just wanted to throw in here.

I've downloaded this and have been using it for the past week, online, with absolutely no problems. It works really well.

I would like to suggest locking this post at this time. I'm not exactly sure how Google's algorithms work, but if this gets much longer it may start getting search engine hits and I would hate for the punkbuster people to find it and find a way to add it to their program.

Bad news. It's first one on the list in google if you type 2142 Widescreen Hack. That's how I found this. Sad

I'm an honest player and all I want to do is be able to play on MY widerscreen monitor. I shouldn't be banned for rightfully using my equipment how it's meant to be used. It kinda sucks to think Punkbuster is bound to find this program eventually and I'm sure they'll get the order to blacklist it.

I have inquired about this to both EA and EvenBalance (Punkbuster) and await there reply. Until then use this with the assumption that it may be detected as a true cheat and could result in a kick/ban.

We don't need to wait for their answer as their answer is obvious. Whoever pays their salary is ALWAYS right. In this case it's EA, who can't get its butt out of the 20th century, and believes that SOMEHOW we're cheating by buying a piece of hardware and using it. I just think it's wrong, it's a screen, there shouldn't be arguing.
