If what you say is correct, that there are no cut-scenes at all and there are no anomalies, then this game gets a perfect score.

Doesn't the game has some black & white videos that get played from time to time between level switch? I think those videos are stretched on widescreen... but I can't be sure as I don't have the game installed now.

I did a bit of research, and found that the full game does have some cut-scenes, but they are infrequent. I'm rolling this back to a B until someone posts screenshots demonstrating how widescreen affects cut-scenes.

Patch 1.3 - broken resolution choices
Posted: 07 Nov 2006, 11:10
by wildpalms
Has anyone else noticed that Patch 1.3 has removed r_customwidth and r_customheight and r_mode -1 settings and dumbed down the resolution choices?
Where, in the 1.2 COD 2 version, I was able to set the resolution to my LCD native resolution of 1680 x 1050, I now cannot.
Anyone got a fix/workaround for this problem?

This problem affects the Macintosh version of the game with the 1.3 patch that Aspyr produced.
I assume you are on Windows, which does not suffer this problem.

Guys, I know...original posts are over 10 years old now, but how have you managed to get resolutions such as 2560x1440, 2560x1600, 3440x1440? I have 3840x2160 monitor and cannot get the resolution over 1920x1200 (I tried v1.0, v1.2 and v1.3). Guy at the previous page asks where did r_customheight/width disappear? I have not seen it in config file at any version.
Is there a way to get it at least to 2560x1440? It is unbearable at 1920x1080 (I have a 40" screen).
