Battlefield: 1942

Genre: Shooter

Developer: DICE
Publisher: Electronic Arts

Release Date: September 11, 2002

Widescreen Support: Native with config edits; GUI stretched

Open the following files in a text editor:

C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Battlefield 1942\Mods\bf1942\Settings\Profiles\Default\VideoCustom.con
C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Battlefield 1942\Mods\bf1942\Settings\Profiles\Default\Video.con
C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Battlefield 1942\Mods\bf1942\Settings\Profiles\Custom\VideoCustom.con
C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Battlefield 1942\Mods\bf1942\Settings\Profiles\Custom\Video.con

In each file, edit the line:

game.setGameDisplayMode 800 600 32 0

and set it to (the following example is for the Dell 2005FPW):

game.setGameDisplayMode 1680 1050 32 60

Now open the following file in a text editor:

C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Battlefield 1942\Mods\bf1942\Settings\VideoDefault.con

And add the following line:

renderer.fieldOfView 1.1

Set all the files you just edited to "Read Only" so they do not get set back to default. The game will have a proper aspect ratio, but the GUI will be stretched.
