So me2621a, are you good with Doom 3?

Here's the method for Call Of Duty Single Player:

1. Patch Call Of Duty to version 1.5 (Not necessary. Just a good idea.)
2. Use WordPad to open this file "config.cfg". The default location of this file is "C:Program FilesCall of DutyMain".
3. Find these five lines and change them to the following exactly:
a. seta cg_fov "90.395093"
b. seta r_mode "-1"
c. seta r_customheight "900"
d. seta r_customwidth "1440"
e. seta com_introplayed "1"
4. Click on File>Save
5. Close WordPad
6. Start Call Of Duty Single Player and everything should display properly.

The fifth line change is optional. Without it, you'll see a blank screen while the Activision and Infinity Ward Intros play. "1" stops them from playing all together.

There is also a separate file for Call of Duty Multiplayer called "config_mp.cfg". It is located in the same directory. You can make the same changes in that file to change the resolution. Unfortunately, the FOV change doesn't stick. It always reverts to the default "80". You will fill your screen side to side, but the game world will be stretched.

yes i got doom and roe running great. :D thank you very much for your help. befor you told me how to do call of duty i went in and modded it my self. but i did a few things rong like set the fov to 100 and didnt set the introvideo to 1 so thank you for that as well.

now here is a chalenge for you
i have asked around on a few forums including sepporate posts on this one but why not ask one more time right?

i need to get half life1 running at 1440x900 and i would prefer not to buy the steam version cosidering i already own a copy.

And also is this a good laptop gaming rig
pentium M 2.0
go 6800
2gigs of ram
100gig hard drive

is it any good. cause it seems to be very good if not overkill

so thank you for your help and i hope you can crack half life

The only thing better than that spec laptop is the Ultra variant of the 6800Go, and the 2.13GHz P-M. :) It should be plenty. ;)

You don't need to buy the Steam version of Half Life if you own it already - you 'just' have to download a 700-odd MB file that sorts out Steam and whatnot.

what is a 700-odd MB file
where do i get it

and what is the clock speeds for the go6800ultra

The desktop 6800 Ultra is 425(core)/1100(memory), but that is not what the laptop chip is running at. Anandtech say that the 6800 Ultra Go runs at 450(core)/550DDR(memory). Google is your friend. ;)

Steam is a download available from http://www.steampowered.com - click on 'Get Steam Now' to take you to a page where you can download a small applet (600KB) that will then download all the other necessary nonsense for Steam for whichever games you have installed. So install Half-Life and the other games you want to play first. The whole download is something in the region of 700MB for the whole thing.

i have a dell insperon 9300 loaded with a go6800
does anyone have a suggestion for what speed i should overclock it to
or if i even should i beleive that dell puts the regular go6800 at about 300/300 i was thinking of pushing it to 400-425 safly
does anyone think that it is possible

UT2004 SUPPORTS 1680X1050 in the in game menu. sorry I don't know about other resolutions, but I know I didn't have to edit a thing. :D

Not recommended.

Overclocking anything in a laptop is risky at the best of times. You certainly won't get it up to 400 or 425, because the cooler on the Ultra is a lot larger than that on the vanilla 6800 Go.

Just be happy with the system you've got - it shouldn't have too much trouble with most games at the minute.

ok then

i have another game that i need help with

im thinking of purchasing pacific fighter
does it support a resolution of 1440x900 if not can somone tell me how to make it
thanks

No solution in the forum yet.

If it's new, it might be a while.

Just type 'pacific fighter' into the search box to check every so often.
