Custom Resolution box deserves serious :bowdown

Ah yeah, it's even worth a (that's a "special occasion", right ?)

StingingVelvet, if you could add a Surround Support section with 1920x512 shots some day, that'd be great...

Trying to test a 4:1 resolution in this game results in me not being able to confirm the resolution no matter what I do (tabbing, hitting enter, hitting "y", trying to click yes with the mouse).

I took a picture of the settings menu and the game appears to go Hor+ in triplehead, but I didn't want to include these shots in the DR without approval, as I couldn't maintain the resolution.

I think we should try to check for real TH support then. We wouldn't want to call this game hor + in TH, only to find out that people with actual TH setups can't select their resolutions either.

I don't see a demo on Paleo's site. Is there one anywhere else?

New grading, to reflect new rules:

Calculated grade: B+
Potential grade: Certified

Major oustanding DR omissions:
Need TH information

==FYI, O Master Of The MGL==

This is probably the first cover-up attempt in videogame history : MOB is now known and sold as Drug Wars, 'Merchants of Brooklyn' being only the title of the singleplayer campaign. Searching merchants of brooklyn on Steam store returns zero results.

==Supported Resolutions==

2560x1600 confirmed to work natively.


==Cutscenes==

The "video" cutscenes are not exactly static; in a "filmed comic book" mock-up, images are still but the camera constantly moves across the "page" so it's hard to get good comparison screenshots - but there's no "Hor+ to the left only", it's just Hor+.

==Surround Gaming Support==

Native, Hor+.
Simply select 'Set custom...' from the in-game video options menu and manually enter your desired display width and height.

Gameplay : Hor+. In the screenshot below I was trying to stand exactly on the same spot as StingingVelvet so I wouldn't have to take an entire set of shots...
HUD : scales correctly.
Cutscenes : Hor+.
Multiplayer : deserted but Hor+ with unstretched scopes (yeah, there's a sniper arm/gun in the game). The game hates Fraps and can crash at any Alt+Tab so I didn't bother taking screens here either.

5040x1050

The broken early Steam release, being either Valve or Paleo's fault depending on who you ask, was a real terror... it makes sense they would switch the name to get out of that mess.

I hear the game is very playable now... I always thought it was fun, just broken, so I may have to give it another try.

Renamed, and certified.
