Personally, I don't think widescreen is anywhere NEAR as big of an advantage as surround sound or even a pair of good headphones.
I'm just getting into BF2, I got the game for free the week it came out but I just started played yesterday, but I've played a lot of Counter-Strike: Source and while I love that the game supports widescreen perfectly, it's nowhere near as big of an advantage as the game's surround sound coupled with my good speaker system. I can hear anyone coming from a mile away and know exactly where they are, thanks in no small part to the fact that in Counter-Strike you can somehow hear a person's footsteps through 4 walls haha...
Headphones are really advantageous in Counter-Strike also since you can easily catch every little sound, but it's much harder to tell where some is compared to having center and rear speakers.
And also, owning an X-Fi, I have to say Battlefield 2's sound is really, really, really impressive. Oh, and Battlefield 2 has THE stupidest menu system in recent memory. The key bindings system drove me nuts. At least I finally got my controller mapped, after realizing that I couldn't bind Axis 0 to rolling until I manually cleared out every single control in the "movement" category and entered that particular one FIRST. And this is with the latest patch.... how sad is that. Also, why is the text in Battlefield 2 so crappy? I'm running native resolution (well with black bars obviously) and GUI looks terrible, noticeably the fonts. Ah well... At least the game is fun.
