if you have a descent gfx card and/or monitor wont make a difference as they scale it for you
A more valid reason would be their patching

Take a look at EA forum..they wont support native widescreen resolutions. There reason is.." its unfair for those who dont have a widescreen monitor"

PLEASE at least READ what you quote

edit: maybe i was a little out of order, you may not know what scaling is
scaling is when your gfx card/monitor "stretches" (very innacurate to use this term, but easiest to describe the situation) the resolution you set your game to, to fill the whole screen (just like it does when you play 90% the games on the market) so it makes little/no difference the game itself does not support it.

Now if they were to implement wide screen in a FPS and not scaling (half life 2 is scaling not true widescreen for example)
then you would have a unfair advantage over other players because you would have a wider view angle.

Well I can't seem to even connect to the master server to log in even after I opened the ports on my router.

Kristoffer Bergqvist: We're not going to give widescreen users a higher [field of view], because that would be unfair for the other people without widescreen monitors, so the FOV will be the same.

Shack: But you'll at least have native support for the aspect ratio?

Kristoffer Bergqvist: Yes.

That sounded more like:

"Well, here I am giving you a good excuse for not going widescreen since we're lazy..."

 

[Chronictank]

omg joor,
try to understand the points being made your just making yourself looks like a fool
Ill highlight the point for you, which i also said in a pervious post

It actually sounds like
"we arent giving a unfair advantage just because you have the money for a widescreen monitor, we are however supporting native resolutions (see previous post for "stretch" effect)

Widescreen monitors ARE supported

Well I can't seem to even connect to the master server to log in even after I opened the ports on my router.

I can connect fine , didnt have to open up any ports either

Theres been master server issues today cause of heavy load, have to remember that about 250 dedicated servers have been punched up in last 24 hours, and on top of that, thousand on thousand of players wanting to log on at the same time.. takes alot of resources

But on top of that, all i can say is just wow.. really good game

 

[Eleasias]

crashes after a couple mins of play ;/

 

[Dreamor]

I've played for about 4-5 hours and been disconnected 2-3 times.
Happend with the BF2 Demo, was better after a few days.

I'm on as Buck_Rogers if anyone is around, usually on the Multiplay DEMO servers

 

[Chronictank]

im on CantShoot5h1t

 

[Jeremiah]

I've had people try to bunnyhop/insta prone dive on me already I'm glad to say that it doesnt seem to give the advantages it did in BF2 I am a little confused to why there are only 4 kits tho - I guess its just for demo purposes

 

[Gamah]

im disapointed with the air support no gunnery as driver :<?

 

[Demon2k3]

installing it now, will be playing with the name demon2k3

 

[Demon2k3]

how long did the optimizing shaders procedure take for you? been waiting for 15-20 minutes now for that.

 

[Kinag]

Took me 1 minute or less..

Running the game at max graphics is nice

Though I really suck at fps games

And I've never played BF before so I'm a bit lost

 

[Jeremiah]

I found it quite nice although the same map is getting rather boring. The Engineer kit seems awesome 1-Shot kill on tanks!
