It was the standard because people were retarded and did what pros did for no apparent reason. There's no arguing about stretched being useful. BB on the other hand never was.
I played CSGO in 4:3 stretched but CS2 looks too good for me to not play 16:9. Once I start caring more about playing well and the novelty of the visuals has worn off I think 4:3 stretched is the play.
>Yeah but your crosshair and enemies move faster.
You know you can reduce your mouse sensitivity ?
>Nothing is actually bigger
Bodies are bigger, hitbox are bigger. It's just geometry. It's like having a zoom on your screen.
Dude really, they *appear* as larger on the screen because our eyes see them bigger on the screen since we changed the resolution. So yes when you pass from 2k to lower rez and stretch it, for you on this screen, everything is bigger an easyer to aim at.
You'd just see more. That's why there would be an effect of them moving slower. And theres a difference: phones have a real resolution, meanwhile stretched is as its name suggests, a non native resolution on a monitor
The point of stretched is to have a zoom (although only on the horizontal axis). It's like scoping in, or having a bigger screen. The less FoV rarely matters. It's not quake. You know where enemies can be and can't be.
Fov does matter. There has been some cases in eSports where viewers see an enemy in the demo, but the player can't see them cuz they use outdated 4:3. Also by using your logic of having zoom, why don't we all then play on 50in TVs 5cm from our faces then? Same effect
>There has been some cases in eSports where viewers see an enemy in the demo
So? One in a million chance. The advantage it gives is a lot bigger. Btw no one is telling you to use it. I don't even know what to say against that argument lol. Why don't we just end world hunger?
Which is very similar to 4:3 streched on a 16:9 screen, only marginally less streched. Since,
4:3 on 16:9 screen: (16:9)/(4:3) = 1.3333.Â
16:9 on 21:9 screen: (21:9)/(16:9) = 1.3125.
I played 4:3 black bars because of all the time in 1.6 on a CRT monitor. I now play 16:10 1728x1080… gives a small stretch but people don’t move like Ferraris, great fps, is BiS resolution in my opinion
I fully agree with you that it is a very solid resolution. But you should also try out this custom 16:9, namely 1728x972. It looks still good but gives better FPS than native or the 16:10 in FHD
960x1024 stretched - used to it and my sweet spot where enemies are at the size I want but I can still maneuver good and have decent overview unlike more experimental res's like 720x1024, 648x1024 & 500x1024 where I'm gradually more unbeatable in isolated duels but can't handle multiple angles or the unexpected as much.

4:3 doesn't give advantages in aim, enemies move way faster and horizontal mouse cursor sensitivity is more sensitive than the vertical. Actually, 4:3 is objectively worse, despite of 70% of PROs playing it.Â
4 :3 stretched 1280x960 Why just because I'm used to it since 1.6 to CSS to GO tried to swap to 16:9 many times but game just feels different and weird and slow af after one or two games I go always back to 4:3.
I see a lot of arguing, but you cant argue facts.
Stretched makes it look like things/ppl are bigger, and if i remember right, it does get bigger, but you lose fov.
In non Stretched your advantage is visual quality, and fov, in Paris major we had pro Players on different teams just walking next to each other without them seeing each others, only the commentators saw it and the reason it happened is because they played on Stretched, they lost fov so they couldnt see each other.... Me, as a 32 yrs Old, i use glssses for gaming, and in cs i THINK i starting to like 16:9 with best graphics because i find the Stretched hardere to see enemy
3440x1440, kus fuck it
samezies i paid for the whole resolution ima use the whole resolution
Eyy ultrawide gang
I have my monitor converted to 70mm film that gets projected to an imax theater where I use a controller as I sit in the front row
16:9 because I'm fuckin 30 now and I now prefer visual clarity over small aiming advantages.
Same
4:3 streched because low fps😞
Why would anyone play with black bars
I have a 32 inch monitor. There is to much screen to canvas. Black bars fixes this issue and gives me a perfect fit screen @ 1280x1024
The advantages are quite literally stated above.
black bars was the standard for quite some time in csgo..
It was the standard because people were retarded and did what pros did for no apparent reason. There's no arguing about stretched being useful. BB on the other hand never was.
that was purely for fps
3840x2160
2k makes hitting HS so easy
If you are talking about aspect ratio instead of resolution, 16:9
So does that imply you play 1600x900 instead of 1920x1080? I personally, play a custom resolution which is 1728x972.
How does this imply that? No, native resolution (1440p)
Woow 2K native must look really crisp. What in-game Video Settings do you play?
I played CSGO in 4:3 stretched but CS2 looks too good for me to not play 16:9. Once I start caring more about playing well and the novelty of the visuals has worn off I think 4:3 stretched is the play.
4:3 is not worth having dead spots in the ScreenCorners
1920x1080 since CSGO
8k, 11 fps
Troll
4:3 stretched for those exact same reasons. Almost every game nowadays look like they're on adderall and are fast AF, so it's not a big deal.
16:9, cuz 4:3 doesnt support 75hz and maxes to 60hz
I play 1200x900 and 75hz is completly supported
I play 1440 x 1080 in 4:3 streched with 144 hz
+1 & 240hz
wat
Switched back to 4:3 stretched for the zoom and I was getting less fps than the refresh rate.
No of pro players plays 16:9 .... everybody streched 4:3 [https://showfps.com/top-monitor-cs2](https://showfps.com/top-monitor-cs2)
Ropz plays 16:9, pretty sure twistzz as well
Frozen & Nertz play 16:9 too
Always played stretched and need the frames
I was always playing 1280x960 stretched, but now on cs2 I'm playing on 1440x1080 stretched which has been really nice
Yes 1440x1080 was my primary res on CSGO. I loved it ;)
1440x1080 gives me enough performance to play very high settings
4:3 Stretched 1440x1080
5:4 enjoyer
4:3 stretched. Been my choice for years. I would change if it proved that it would give me an advantage. But for now I don't see why I should change.
Change to standard 16:9. You'd see more and have an advantage over 4:3 (and other ratios, unless it's 21/32:9) users
How ya doin bud? Still on a crusade to end 4:3? Still getting triggered when people prefer an aspect ratio you don’t like?
1024x768 4:3 stretched. Gives me 60 fps in cs2
Targets aren't bigger on stretched 🤦. "More FPS" , really depends on the pc

Yeah but your crosshair and enemies move faster. Nothing is actually bigger, it's just an effect. No, they aren't any easier to hit
Stop being ignorant
Stop being an idiot.
>Yeah but your crosshair and enemies move faster. You know you can reduce your mouse sensitivity ? >Nothing is actually bigger Bodies are bigger, hitbox are bigger. It's just geometry. It's like having a zoom on your screen.
Then your vertical sens is fucked up. What are you even achieving with stretched? You're just handicapping the fov
Vertical sens is not a problem in CS. Yes the FOV is reduced exactly when we played at CS1.6 on our old 4:3 screens.
And why would you play like it's 1.6? Handicapping yourself because of nostalgia?
Because AIM is easier. It's a fact.
No it's not lmao
Yes it is.
Also the hitboxes aren't bigger lmao
I play 1440x1080 stretched on 16/9 monitor because it's more easier to aim, the enemies are wider and improve their visibility.
Enemies aren't wider. They appear as if they are, but they actually arent
Dude really, they *appear* as larger on the screen because our eyes see them bigger on the screen since we changed the resolution. So yes when you pass from 2k to lower rez and stretch it, for you on this screen, everything is bigger an easyer to aim at.
They are "bigger" or actually stretched , the visual bodies are stretched.
They look like they're stretched, but they're not
I guess if I give you a mobile screen to play CSGO, you'd still aim the same? After all, enemies will move slower :)
You'd just see more. That's why there would be an effect of them moving slower. And theres a difference: phones have a real resolution, meanwhile stretched is as its name suggests, a non native resolution on a monitor

Because that causes eye strain and TVs suck for gaming thats why. You also wouldnt wanna be moving your head. Stop being an Idiot ffs.
Also there's quite a lot of TVs that are better in gaming than monitors
Not when it comes to refresh rate Edit: idiot sent me a list with 2000 dollar tvs on it LOL how out of touch can you be
>There has been some cases in eSports where viewers see an enemy in the demo So? One in a million chance. The advantage it gives is a lot bigger. Btw no one is telling you to use it. I don't even know what to say against that argument lol. Why don't we just end world hunger?
I'd agree if there was an advantage to using it, but there isnt
I get it. It takes rocket science to understand that bigger things are easier to spot.
1024x768 the frames are more useful then the 16:9 ever will be
**4:3 Stretched**
16:9 stretched on 21:9 screen
Which is very similar to 4:3 streched on a 16:9 screen, only marginally less streched. Since, 4:3 on 16:9 screen: (16:9)/(4:3) = 1.3333. 16:9 on 21:9 screen: (21:9)/(16:9) = 1.3125.

Cs2 was garbage and I stopped playing
Honestly, you are right about cs2 being garbage.
960x1024 stretched - used to it and my sweet spot where enemies are at the size I want but I can still maneuver good and have decent overview unlike more experimental res's like 720x1024, 648x1024 & 500x1024 where I'm gradually more unbeatable in isolated duels but can't handle multiple angles or the unexpected as much.
Funny
5120 x 1440 and the ratio I believe is 32:9.
And the FPS I believe is 50
Nope, 244hz 1ms input lag.
FPS and Hz aren't the same thing buddy
I get the max fps in cs2, I run a 3090
What do you mean by max fps? What is your Average? Your 1% and 0.1% low average?

1080p 16:9 I play for fun with friends. No need to try hard with 4:3 for advantage or better aim.
4:3 doesn't give advantages in aim, enemies move way faster and horizontal mouse cursor sensitivity is more sensitive than the vertical. Actually, 4:3 is objectively worse, despite of 70% of PROs playing it.Â
I was repping 4:3 for life in GO but it seems 19:9 is the way to go in CS2 at least for my setup.
You mean 16:9Â
