Widescreen Gaming Forum

Dear EA (DICE),

I would like to report an Problem with you game Battlefield 2. I would also like to bring to your attention a technical issue with your game.




Problem for EA (DICE):

Your game does not support the proper field of view for widescreen monitors.


Issue for ...

I had the same idea. Great minds think alike. Maybe we could get one or two developers to jump on board and include the logo on their box.

OK that's a good place to start.

Who is doing right? What developers are making the games totaly Widescreen compliant.

I mean you run the game ...

But if I look at that same 1440x1080 section of pixels on my screen in 1920 mode...I'm looking at a ...

Interesting to see your X850 is running well as it should be. I have not been able to get BF2 to function properly since the install of my X850 XT a month ago. I was using OmegaDrivers and it loaded BF2 but graphics would fade out to black (this is a resolve in the ATI 5.8 Catalyst - See ...

Does anyone know the technical reason the FOV switches don't work? Is it a true limitation of the BF2 engine?

How complex is the BF2 engine and is it actually someone elses engine? It's not Quake 3 or something is it?

What we really need is a virtual weak cylindrical lens infront of our ...
