wtf battlefield 2142 has no widescreen support?

Maybe this should help;

Edit the Battlefield 2142 shortcut, and set the resolution to desired specs. Also, be sure to change "+fullscreen" to "+widescreen" For example, the command line would look like this for a Dell 2005FPW:

"C: Program FilesEA GamesBattlefield 2142BF2142.exe" +widescreen 1 +szx 1680 +szy 1050

The resolution will work, and the FOV will be correct. However some 2D graphics may be off.

Confirmed to work with the demo.

- You can edit this place if that code doesn't work:

"C: Program FilesEA GamesBattlefield 2142BF2142.exe" +widescreen 1 +szx 1680 +szy 1050
