Some people seem to not like the keyboard of a laptop, and have bad problems with their fps, but I'm running it on max res. in windows mode and still get about 180 fps with some intel integrated graphics driver thingy. Had to reconfigure my keyboard definitions and remove some of the graphics (background, redid the explosions), but it runs fine.

Do you play on a Lapop, or have a widescreen computer?

1280 x 1024= 1310720 pixels
And i want to play with:
1440 x 900 = 1296000 pixels
1365 x 768 = 1049320 pixels
There is no gain whatsoever.sdg

The good lord gave us radar for a reason. And long distance fighting is lame anyway. Save the spam for your mam. A.
I'd be in favor of changing to widescreen if we also change the bullet alive time so that it does not go farther than the one 1280x1024 screen before disappearing. :P

reaver made a good point.
change the dimensions of the TWLD arena so it more closely matches a square or vertical rectangle.
I'm assuming the shape is some factor of 4:3, or this doesn't really make sense (and the arena shape won't make sense).
yeah a good wb will get you horizontal, but that's entirely the byproduct of screen resolutions, isn't it? Or is there some sort of innate left-right eye accuity that's superior to up-down? (don't laugh, it's like that for several animals)
If I were you guys, I'd stick to the diaganols anyway, that's a bigger viewing angle anyway :P. But if you knew you were playing people with widescreen, why wouldn't you try to attack them vertically? I agree it's harder, but once you took advantage of their resolutions, it should even out.
The other day I played elim with whatever highest resolution TW would allow (think it was 1680x1225 or something weird like that). I don't think it made me any better guys, maybe we should at least test it out. I'm sure there's some sort of diminishing return when it comes to bigger resolution and ability to dodge..fffffffff_____

Widescreen must be implemented, It's absolutely stupid and dumb in today's gaming community to not have widescreen res supported. no widescreen normally means i do not play it, i don't care how good game is. Only reason i play Continuum is because I've played it and have more friends then any other game, But i would never ever play here in million years if i didn't play here years bofore.... and dealing with playing in window mode..
and YES my game stretches out horribly in full screen.. And no i cannot fix it so i at least get bars on sides. i have to play window mode!!!
Please please please enable widescreen for all games... I do not see the huge disadvantages... at all. I could play anyone with a widescreen res with the normal 1024 i play at right now and it would make no difference to me.
Actually i have played widescreen once since it was implemented for test weekend and i absolutely sucked, then switching back to 1024 for TWDD is disorienting as hell. I'd rather it change completely to get used to, or else I'm never changing at all. None of this 1 arena maybe pub, maybe elim and that's it crap... Why change it at all??

So anybody that just starts playing this game isn't going to act as you made it seem, and you're making this statement based on knowledge you have now that you wouldn't normally have.
The point made by Dank about the resolution not making much of a difference from 1600 x whatever is absurd. It only makes sense that if you have more viewing distance and you're fighting at your maximum range you have more time to react to a shot and that means more time to dodge. The hardest bullets to dodge are always the ones that are fired from the closest distance to you because you have less time to react.
I still say that if you're planning on increasing to the widescreen resolution then increase all resolutions as well, it's kind of silly to think 'hey bigger monitors and widescreen monitors are more common these days, but only common enough to allow for the slight increase for the smallest widescreen monitors.'1:Best> lol why is everyone mad that roiwerk got a big dick stickin out his underwear, it's really attractive :P

Are you trying to say that if you just started to play this game you would automatically have the intuition to change the resolution to whatever your monitor could support? If you're trying to say that then I call you a liar. I played a year before switching to the highest resolution my monitor could support and it wouldn't surprise me if most people played at least a few months before they switched it to the highest. On top of that, when you switched it to the highest you probably didn't even find out that it could actually be higher for another couple months or a year.

Try windowed mode, it works
I really don't see the need to change the resolution at all, and I can play on 1900xwhatever res, so it would only help me then...
And I agree with reaver about danknuggets comment... If you play long range on a very large res THEN it gives you a much better advantage... danknuggets probably does not do that so it doesn't work for him... The only thing we would see out of the res change is probably more longrange/radar squads and less rush happy and midrange squads, it would move back to the old era of subspaceRaCka> imagine standing out as a retard on subspace
RaCka> mad impressive
