Finally Battlefield 2 in Widescreen with correct FOV ?

Post by **Paradigm Shifter** » 31 Jul 2006, 20:34

I also can't see any of the screenshots on this page as they are not loading up

We shifted servers and it's played havoc on the images embedded. We'll try to get 'em fixed. ;)

i put my vote in, people that complain about unfair advantages are all nubs and dont deserve a computer that can play bf2.

Paddy the Wak, why not contact PunkBuster to tell them what you guys are trying to do with widescreen?! Maybe PB will allow for it.

So you won`t be releasing this little tool at all, do I get that right?? Would be a pity, I hardly ever play online, we are 16 chaps playing in a clan against each other, half of us have widescreen monitors... :-(

a lot of the 'cracked/public/nokey' server i play on don't even have buster enabled. so some of us coudl still use this tool :?

we must somehow lure him into releasing the tool ;-)

I wonder if contacting a mod team (im thinking of the soon to be realeased POE2) and seeing if they would allow this. I doubt Dice/PB is going to do anything soon anyways.

I would be for releasing this tool, and letting people play on non-PB enabled servers.

well atleast 2142 will have widescreen.

Post by **skipclarke** » 23 Aug 2006, 19:25

^^ dont be too sure.

Back on topic: I would like a release of this tool because I dont even play BF2 anymore because of the stupid FOV streatching. I would just play non PB servers with this tool.

Yeah I was playing the beta of 2142 just now, no WS option at all. Have to do WS the same way as BF2. But for some reason when I change it to WS the map loads then throws me back to the multiplayer screen saying something about modified content, this sucks. Another good job by EA. EA you suck, you know what LOL.

A lot of the servers say that no matter what you do. I think they're running an older/different version of the beta.

Well thats its then. If EA don't support widescreen in 2142, I aint buying it plain and friggin simple.

Where do I tell them this?

Jeez, surely it wouldn't take more than two hours for one hippy to make widescreen support in this game, and that would encourage me and I bet a few other too buy it, which would make up for the cost of paying that hippy for the two or less hours it took to code the friggin thing in!

HIPPIES!

I have been talking with punkbuster on this issue. Paddy, you should let Racer_S know that it sounds like punkbuster wants to help out with this. I hope I am not stepping on anyones feet about this issue, but I would really, really like to have my 3 monitors work with BF2.

Keep me posted on what you are doing.

This is what Punkbuster said:

Hi,

I use Matrox TripleHead2Go (3 monitors) to play many of my games (F.E.A.R., Oblivion, Doom 3, Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter...) and would like to have its functionality in Battlefield 2. I understand that a mod is being developed (by racer_s?) to allow this, but was wondering if punkbuster would kick me off and call me a cheater if I used it.

Also, where do you stand on using widescreen or triplehead2go in games? Is it considered cheating? I have heard many different views (pros and cons) and would like to know where you stand.

Thank you,

Firefly16

Note #2: As long as it's not modifying any of the game files or what is stored in memory at the time, we will not technically consider it hacking. The fact that you're able to play it in FEAR and D3 (both PB-enabled games) should for the most part ease your fears.

I do, however, have reservations, as I have no idea how racer is going about creating the mod. If he is having to modify game files or hook into dlls, he may be crossing over the line. I can't answer the question without knowing how he's doing this.

Note #3: Thank you for your quick reply.

If the mod does modify dll files, but only allows for proper FOV at such a high resolution, is it possible for him to work with punkbuster so that punkbuster will not identify this as hacking?

Note #4: Possibly. Please have him contact [email protected]

WIKID!

This is juicy stuff indeed! I may soon be buying 2142 after all if this pace keeps up. Go Racer, go Racer, go Racer! :D :D :D

Post by **skipclarke** » 25 Aug 2006, 16:16

this is fantastic news. it sounds like you guys can get it working. Please let us know, as i would love for this to happen.

B2142 Beta does not support WS and from the info on the Beta site it will not either when the game comes out officialy. EA/DICE does not consider this a priority or something they HAVE to do....

lol@ ea/dice remember back when the game was relessed? they didnt have 1280x1024 they mustve been smoking some major crack there.
