Widescreen monitors are "the shit" thesedays, but unfortunately BF2 doesn't support them very well. Those of us who have one know: After getting BF2 to run with a custom resolution, instead of being able to see more with our wider monitors, the top and bottom ends merely got cut off. This is most annoying as it really can look like shit at times, especially in 3rd person views with vehicles.
However, behold: a real widescreen fix has been made. I had absolutely no idea this existed until I tried to find out how to get Prince of Persia to run in widescreen, so it's no miracle nobody knows about it.
The Widescreen Fixer is available here. What exactly does it do? It gives us back the top and bottom parts of our view, and adds more to the right and left sides as you would expect from running a game in widescreen. It works perfectly and is approved by PB.
If you want to see the difference this program makes, click on the aforementioned link and see for yourself.
P.S: protips: read the readme. You need to add the +widescreen 1 to your BF2 shortcut's command line, and you need to press ; ingame to get it to work.
