And yet I.D. software managed to pull it off even before anybody considered using a widescreen monitor at home.

Seriously how the fuck does this relate to what I said!
[i]Um, if you've got time to admire the scenery whilst playing an iD game, then you're doing it wrong. TW2 is a completely different genre than anything that iD has ever done, and consequently it tends to matter more that they get it right.[/I]

Plus, iD was willing to release Quake, despite the complete lack of an aesthetic. I mean gothic futuristic grunge? Pullease.

Some types of games are easier to do than others are, RTS and FPS have basically no work to do, because quite frankly it doesn't make any meaningful difference. With RTS being the more pixels on screen the better and FPS being far more about frame rate than aspect ratio.

Obviously, I have yet to play TW2, but TW was much more cinematic in nature than most other games, and so it will take them more time to work something out that people will be happy with. Given the amount of work they did getting the aesthetic right on TW, I'd be surprised if a similar amount wasn't being brought to bear on TW2.

So you completely go off on one above for reasons known only to yourself, refuse to acknowledge that your wrong, then start playing the wounded soldier?

Your motives are obvious, I'm done here.

I rent it, and am moving since my divorce 1700 sq ft. is way too big for me:)

Is there any word yet on when the patch that will fix this issue will be released? I have an old 4:3 monitor. I didn't even know this was going to be an issue til I played the game for the first time and there were black bars and the viewing area was so small that I couldn't read the text on the screen because it was tiny and pixely. I probably wouldn't care AS much if I could read the text, though I would still want a patch to correct the issue eventually.
