    Halflife support 1280x1024 resolution?

    I'm supprised Halflife doesn't support 1280x1024 resolution.

    Is there a tweak to enable it, or should I just suck it up and make my desktop reso lower? (only 60Hz at 1600x1200 with my current monitor)

    there are no tweaks to get it as far as I know...but with the latest patch...for some reason let's me run in 1600x1200...I just stick with 1024x768 because the text is really messed up when combined with fsaa...
    Lian Li PC-K7B | Intel i5 750 | 4GB A-Data 1600 | Gigabyte GA-P55-UD3R | XFX Radeon 5850 | 2-640GB WD Caviar Blue | X-fi Xtrememusic | Klipsch Promedia 5.1 Ultra | Dell U2311H | Antec Basiq Plus 550W | NEC 3550A | Win7 Ultimate x64
    and a whole lot of lovin..

    Can't you run Half-Life at 1280x960? I think you can.

    1280x960 isnt the same as 1280x1024, but all good, I can live with 60Hz refresh on 1600x1200.

    I'd take 1280x960 over 1280x1024 any day of the week. Why do people like that 1280x1024 disotrted resolution? No one uses a 5:4 aspect ratio monitor to combat the distortion.
