- "Widescreen in multiplayer works as described above. However, many hosts enforce resolution limits. If you try to join a game with a resolution limit, you will be forced to play the game at a non-widescreen resolution (usually 640x480). If you host a game and are using a widescreen resolution, you will not have the option of enforcing a resolution limit."[3]
