anything larger than what it is now will make wb straying more common and more newby
basing doesn't really change the gameplay much. majority of it is fr battles, and if you can see entire FR then it's ez.1:Underground> WHO THE FUK ARE THE WITH, EASE, WITH EASE, EASE JR.

Can someone post a screenshot of 4:3 SS looking crappy on widescreen? I am still rocking some old school CRT monitors and don't know what the fuss is about here.
1280x1024 in full mode is I think as much of the arena as anyone should be able to see at a glance for TW. Anything much larger than that threatens to obviate the radar and increase obnoxious cowardly warbird sniping, as people have pointed out. I think using the radar is a key aspect of the game and should be maintained (by enforcing resolution limits), not just for the obstinate, broke old schoolers, but because it adds nuance and strategy.
Maybe there can be a compromise where the radar zoom factor is decreased, so the people with very high res only see a coarse jumble of dots, whereas the people at low res can make out more of the map & bogies on radar because it's bigger on their screen.

I play chaos zone with 1680x1050 because I have 21inch lcd screen at home, 1280x1024 res in tw is indeed possible but it is way too stretched out and would happily play with a crt monitor instead. Of course I want to have the same resolution in TW as it is best optimized for my screen, but what if your screen can handle 1400x900 and someone else can handle 1900x1200? You can never make players equal by this and so in my opinion you should just take away all limits altogether or limit it at 1280x1024. Basing doesn't need max res, javelins need it, warbirds need atleast 1600, but 1280 has been used far too long already and it is probably good at it is.Last edited by Jones; 12-24-2008, 10:03 AM.TWDTJ & TWDTB FINALIST 2019

Originally posted by Jones View Postthe thing with greater res would force every 10 players in twld arena to have the maximum resolution and thus would fight radarbattles with 2048x1536 which would in turn decrease random shots dramatically and make it harder to die randomly and suicided. the only downside would be that everyone would need to maximize their resolution and since everyone can't do that the pool of skilled players would be based on resolution, not their ability to play.

If there is any way someone can help me dervie 1280x1024 off 1440x900 HP Pavilion 17' widescreen I will be satisfied, even though the game will look much worse as it looks now. As for now, I strongly request an update of the resolution capacity with the addition of 1440x900 option for all TW arenas.
vt.
P.S. Suppose you have a big CRT screen that supports 1900 res horizontally. I am not sure if you are playing this game in non-windowed mode because it would also look as bad. Hence, if you are willing to use 1440x900 over 1280x1024 for some reasons (I personally wouldn't), go to adv options and tick 'display default resolutions'. Remember to tick 'windowed mode' in resolution menu. Also add a chat window pop-up in options if you consider that option.2:blood> i think vt is a terrible player to be honest

I have a widescreen, I play max res (windowed, but I have always played windowed). I am for raising the max res to 1920x1080, so I can use my full screen.Maybe God was the first suicide bomber and the Big Bang was his moment of Glory.
