Far Cry 2 Widescreen Issue

**MIG-31** · Oct 23, 2008, 05:30 PM

The Far Cry 2 Forums have word that widescreen support in Far Cry 2 is actually a cropped version of the 4:3 video, reminiscent of a similar problem, or design decision, from BioShock . The Widescreen Gaming Forum is all over this, as is their way, and there are hopes for a fix for the just-released first-person shooter sequel soon, official, unofficial, or both.

It stinks of laziness that they keep doing this.

I hope a future patch may fix this issue.16:10 is what i require for games.

I agree its a shame it does look like idolness has set in in some way.Im Sure this is an issue the Beta Testers should of picked up on a long time ago.
