I'm just saying try it for yourselves.
yes, my point about my own experiences is absurd. i obviously can't tell when i've got a great advantage over someone or when i don't. you got me. If you're playing at a maxed out resolution, then you're even more vulnerable to close range shots, because your ship is smaller and it's harder to see to dodge. that's what I meant about diminishing returns.
I play both ways, but it's not a whole lot easier to play with the higher resolution and keep your oppenent in that small window that's the difference between mine and his resolution. It's pretty obvious to your oppenents what you're trying to do by staying on the edge of the screen.

Sorry if I didn't state my comment correctly, but that's not at all what I was getting at guys. I'm not talking about theories here, I'm talking about actually trying it out.
We can all agree that on pen and paper, it's an advantage. What I'm suggesting is you go play a few elims with the higher resolution and see if it really makes that much of a difference in your final score.
What I was saying is that I went and played with the highest resolution that was supported. I did about my average. Yes, I could take advantage of the extra two inches or so sometimes, but most of the time my opponents either moved within their screen's range (logical) or they moved farther off my screen (trying to snipe). The total time where I had an advantage offensively was minimal. I maybe got one or two shots off without the other person noticing, and at that distance and smaller size, it's not as easy to aim long range.
The only way it's an advantage is that you have more time to see a stray shot. It doesn't give you more time for aimed shots in a 1v1 battle unless you are both off screen sniping each other. In fact, if your oppent is mid-range or close, it gives you a disadvantage because the bullet will travel a smaller distance on your screen, and your bullet will travel farther on his.
All I'm saying is that there are balances to increase resolutions. It has its pros and cons. I'm just sharing my experience with using it in elim for a handful of games. I suggest everyone give it a try too. If you post a screenshot where you won 40-0 because you had a gianormous resolution, i'll listen. It just didn't turn out that way for me.
