Dual Screen?

[Higuy]

Anyone know of any ways to play Halo CE on dual screens? I know softTH allows games (like Halo) to play on 3 monitors, dosent seem to do 2 though.

It's annoying. I did it once and basically the middle of your screen is the gap between the monitors.

Makes getting 1080 noscope headshots a little harder for me.

If there's no tools, you can just span the window across both screens, right?

No tools needed, just set your monitors to act as one and use -vidmode width,height,refreshrate

What Kyon said, but why would you use an even number of monitors to play? Your crosshair would be cut in half by a thick bezel. and you'd basically be trying to aim with the bezel...it'd be quite annoying.

Oh ok, I tried that with Halo PC but it didnt seem to work; I'll try with CE.

Also I just wanted to see how it looked, I don't plan on playing it like this...

Also, how do you set the monitors to act as one?

there needs to more games like world in conflict where you can put the map/radar/whatever on the second screen

This. WiC is a game where it is crucial to have eyes on the map instantly. I think it's only available in Dx10 though? I'd have to check, but I use it and find it very useful. I actually started getting higher scores in multiplayer after buying my new video card and enabling the option.

If you have Vista or 7 you can't "set your monitors to act as one" because there's no span mode support. Just use SoftTH and disable the left/right monitor, this will center your view on one screen and then extend your view on the other monitor (think 3 monitors, with one side monitor turned off).
