VIDEO: Modern Warfare 2 Spread to Six Screens
News
published
We've seen examples of ATI's Eyefinity technology before but we have not seen it used to play Modern Warfare 2 across six displays.
Most of us can't afford a set up like this at home, so we'll have to make do with the video below. But don't be too sad! The silver lining is that it's nearly time for MW2 DLC. Xbox users will be getting it first (tomorrow) and the pack contains three new maps and two old ones from COD4, but PC and PS3 gamers should get their Mapathy cures before too long.

Silicon Jesus Well I think I'd rather not have a big black line going through my sights. I get that the border takes up 0 space of the image, but still!Reply -

restatement3dofted alvinehow can you aim with the bar in the middle of the screen?Reply
The middle bar would be a huge inconvenience for any FPS or other game with a centered crosshair. That's exactly why three displays in portrait mode, with an undisturbed HUD on the center screen, makes a lot more sense than six displays, or any other configuration that breaks the center of your overall display.
And, as mianmian mentioned, even thin bezels around LCDs makes for an unpleasant viewing experience, in my opinion. The extra real estate might give you a competitive edge, but it just doesn't look good to me. -

Why the heck would you use 6 projectors? 1 would accomplish the same thing
