Finally, WS support. Only took them ~eight months...

After looking at their official forums they didn't add in 1440x900 & 1680x1050 support (not sure about others). Once again, a half assed job.
 
I've always liked the game, and it has always run well for me. Sure I've had the occasional crash to desktop (I think about 5 times since I've owned it), but just about every other game out there has done the same for me.
 
This is supposed to be the final patch, unless one comes with the map packs. Here's hoping its a good one.
 
Thanks for the info......I hope the WS works well.

I been using the SquizzyRes hack from widescreengamingforum which worked pretty well to give me 1920 X 1200, but had some minor bugs that were annoying.

Ive liked this game from the jump.:D
 
:rolleyes:

Doesnt do much for my Dell 2407 which uses 1920 x 1200, now does it???
I know its nice to have TV widescreen, but how many people actually run their PC stuff on a widescreen TV???

Well I agree. I know it is painfully simple to enable widescreen support at the beginning of a project, but can be much more painful after the project is finished and launched. Even still, it was lame of them to add support for only a few widescreen resolutions, forsaking those which most widescreen equipped PC gamers use (1680x1050 and 1920x1200).

They probably just recycled the code they used for widescreen on the X360 version. Lame.

Amen. The widescreengaming forum hack works pretty well though.
Still......what a suk.:eek:
 
I've had a pretty good time playing it with three of my buddies on my LAN.
