If it matters that much to you, then reduce your resolution!!
Personally I think Oleg should fix the minimum resolution at 1280x1024 to get rid of most of this argument. Or make it a server setting if that's possible. That's the resolution I found began to cause dots to be more difficult to see and without splitting hairs its roughly the same physical size pixel on a typical size monitor as the now popular 1680x1050 or similar. 1900 gets more difficult I suppose but frankly, tough luck.

It's been years since lower resolution screens were available and who would want one in a modern game with it's more sophisticated graphics? Perhaps only those who need a false edge?

CoD will be a cutting edge game/simulation. You can't expect IL-2 or CoD to run well on a 1GHz single core pentium and over the years most people have found it necessary to upgrade their PC boxes just to be able to play even IL-2. Why not the monitor? What's the point of playing such great games if you dumb down 50% of the graphics?

If people are so passionate about their hobby they need to invest a little more in it and move on, it's not like it costs an arm and a leg, especially compared with a PC box upgrade. Otherwise, they are inevitably going to be left behind as the world of PC gaming moves on.
