2233rz settings

Posted by United Kingdom AsteriskOops on 2010-03-12 03:36:45
I read paradox's comment about 1280x1024 @ 4:3 was the best rez for a 22 inch widescreen but I have some questions about it.

Does he say this because most screens can only get to 75hz with lower rez? I can use 1680x1050 @ 16:10 120hz or should I use 1280x1024 @ 4:3 120hz (I assume this is with black bars at the side to make them image square)?

Another question I have is.. are there any tips for finding players on the map, I always seem to get found before I find them.. I can aim no problem so I need to work on this!

sorry if you have read these questions over and over but I couldnt find what I wanted using the search.. kinda vague comments only.

cheers in advance

use 16:9 you'll see more
use 5.1 setting for ingame sound, and if possible get a dedicated x-fi soundcard along with some good headphones.

Constantly check the mini-map.

press escape and the map goes larger, it's a good idea to do it if your dead and there's only a couple more players on your team, if they shoot, you can pinpoint it exactly & call it to them

I dont recommend using 1280x1024 @ 4:3 stretched on a 22", especially on this monitor.

Para might feel that it is better for him, but for other people, not necassarily.

Stretching a 5:4 res to 16:10 like that modifies your X:Y axis, meaning that your sensitivity left/right is different to up/down.

Think of it like this: instead of moving your mouse around in a circle, it will end up an oval shape.

ITS ALL PERSONAL PREFERENCE. But dont jump on the para bandwagon and use something that might help you, but it might also hurt your aim too.

The main reason that he uses it is to get 75hz out of his monitor, but for people like us with 2233rz's that can do 120 @ all res's, then there is no reason to have anything other than native res.

Try it if you want, but i dont recommend it.
