If you look at the box art on BF2 and BF2 SF, you will notice that some of the screenshots are in widescreen format. Whether or not thay are cropped images is anyones guess. All it would take for DICE to enable Widescreen format is for them to use the same resolutions that are in windows, but they do not.
If we don't get a quick fix on this I suggest we start asking for our money back.
Unfortunately, this is a case of the sales or advertising teams writting checks the Devs can cash. They are most definitely cropped images and usually if you dig deep in the disclaimer, you'll see something like "Monitor does not reflect actual gameplay" or something to that effect. I mean, there's not even a HUD on those screenshots and it's even the same heli image on all of them. Clearly a crop job.
Asking for your money back isn't going to do any good. Just play the game and enjoy it the best you can while you wait for the native support. It IS after all, just a video game - not the cure for cancer...
Sorry but I am not going to be satisfied with playing a game that won't fit on my monitor. You can go ahead and keep giving support to a company that doesn't give a shit about you, but I won't. The only way to get them to include widescreen support is to ask for it.
As far as the cropped images are concerned, yes I agree they are probably cropped, but the various product shots from Dell and Alienware that show the same images on their widescreen monitors and laptops doesn't help their case.
They show a picture of the game in widescreen then they should deliver it. If the people at DICE can't figure out how to activate widescreen support then they are morons. If the people at DICE are concerned that giving people access to widescreen resolutions will somehow give us an advantage, then again, they are morons. All they have to do is give 4:3 users the ability to change the FOV to whatever the widescreen equivalent is.
For EA to offer support for this game, but pass the blame to DICE is wrong. I doubt very seriously that anyone from DICE has been contacted by EA. If you look at the various replies you will see that we are given a stock reply.
The only way to get what we want is to be vocal about it.
