[quote]Technically, widescreen resolutions give you an unfair advantage over other players.

Not that I care for the game at all, just stating fact.



No it ain't

You just have to learn to play with it. Widescreen make you move more with your mouse. With widescreen, you have to pay attention to more things (environmental etc.). So, the people who say that widescreen is a cheat, are jalous at it and want a biiiiiiG PWNING high DEfiNITION widescreen monitor :D

I am pretty sure being able to see more on your screen constitutes as an advantage any way you look at it. This has nothing to do with the game and having to pay attention more.

Hey Johny, did you know a .25 of this planet live below the poverty line? How about CHOOSING not to be offended by this and also recognize that happiness lies within you, its always there for the taking, and you don't have to rely on a games quality for it.

Yeah I'm down with all that.

I was trying to make an point, being those that are saying using a widescreen is cheating are peasants in thier perception. They "think" under the poverty line.

With that argument, a High speed internet connection is cheating against those who have a slower connection. The argument again doesn't stack up. A peasants argument. Uneducated, irrationale and a zero sum mentality.

Yeah sure it's a friggin advantage, thats obvious, its not a FREE advantage let me tell you. You don't get a FREE graphics card to run the friggin game on the higher resolution monitor. Another anology, if you can't afford any running shoes then your gonna get beet by the guys in the nice running shoes aren't you? (or do you?) The widescreen alone does not win the game, either do the shoes of the runner. Yeah, running shoes might make the run easier on the foot, but it aint gonne win the race by itself is it?

Again, its a peasants argument. See my point?

You do?

You should tell DICE/EA, because they clearly don't know what's causing all of the Punkbuster problems and crashes.
