Go play il2 on some closed pit serve at 1600x1200 - and I guarantee that after an hour you will be angry and frustrated to the max, because time and time again you will not be able to see that you're near an enemy who will about to shoot you down.

Please read THIS thread - its all about equal opportunities to spot the enemy!

How many times and from how many people (including NOW the creator of the series) do you need to hear before you finally LISTEN?!

If it matters that much to you, then reduce your resolution!!

Most of monitors tooday are full hd 1920x1080 - reducing resolution down from its native one makes the image looking cra**y (in most cases)

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.
