This widscreen really makes my fps very poor, I give up.
I can only use it on empty kashan server.
22".
Its a 1680 x 1050 screen ,can i put 1440 x 1050 in the shorcut to lessen the res.
Otherwise i give up.
Besides my binocular look still sucks and damn you EA.
Thanks-

if anything I'd say widescreen resolutions without the program enabled are hacks because they give you more depth that normal, am I right?

I'd say EA/Dice are horrid failures for never including proper support for widescreen monitors (as in 'Hor +' support). Heck, they included support for higher sound quality and whatnot on those X-Fi cards which I'm going to go out on limb and say are not as commmon among BF2 (and mods) players as widescreen monitors are.

Well, I've tried it and am quite impressed with the increased view to the sides.
I'm finding a couple of problems though. It's great for fairly close combat, but if you are in a long range firefight, it feels like you have zoomed out and the enemy seem even further away.
The other problem, and it could be my pc, but when I raise my sights, it's great, zoomed in quick with no problems. But when I lower them, it seems to go back to the original resolution for a split second before going back into the widescreen fixed version.
I'm using version 1.40, @ 1920x1200, the update rate is set to the far left (1) which I think is the fastest refresh rate, as it is even worse when I take the slider to the right.
I'm using two 8800 gtx cards in sli mode so I don't think they are the problem.
Anyone else getting the same problem?

According to the release notes for the program, that quick delay is normal; everyone gets the same thing.

You can set up a toggle on/off key to switch from close quarters/long distance mode during play.
