BF2 in widescreen, Guide Here!

Forwarded from : Total Battlefield 2

Well I saw a lot of people asking and this will just end all the question topics. Its very simple however most people don't know how to do it. The only downside to this is it will cut off a little bit off the top and bottom. However its so little you can't even tell and doesn't remove any of your GUI.

So this is what you need to do:

Right click on your Battlefield 2 icon on the desktop, click on properties on the part where it says target, add +szx 1920 +szy 1200 (Or whatever your resolution is). So it looks like this ...

"C:\Program Files\EA Games\Battlefield 2\BF2.exe" +menu 1 +fullscreen 1 +szx 1920 +szy 1200

NOTE: Some may also need to do this however only do this if the first fails. In most cases this can be ignored but I have seen some that need this.

Navigate to: "My Documents\Battlefield 2\Profiles\Default\Video.con"

Find line: VideoSettings.setResolution 1600x1200@75Hz (Or whatever your resolution is at)

You can either change this line to something like 800x600@60Hz, or just stick "rem " in front of the whole mess so that it is ignored by BF2. (You'll be overriding it with shortcut parameters anyway)

Here are some screenshots for you all

I will be adding some screenshots. Enjoy, and if you have any problems you can always just revert back your changes. If you're really nervous make a backup file of your Video.com.
