Counter-Strike 2 players are actively discussing the benefits of using different screen ratios on the popular Reddit platform. The question that the community is facing is which ratio gives the best results - the classic 4:3 or the modern 16:9 (native).

4:3 - speed and bigger hitboxes

Many players, including user iAmTheDanger991, note that using the 4:3 ratio (1440x1080 stretched) allows for larger hitboxes, which makes enemies larger and, consequently, headshots easier. This is especially useful for fast players who like an aggressive style of play. “The enemies look fatter,” writes iAmTheDanger991, explaining the benefits of this setting for more accurate headshots.

Also, Aggravating_Bed_4447 notes that 4:3 makes the game feel “raw” and “fast,” especially when shooting with a spray. However, the limited field of view (FoV) can be problematic, especially when enemies quickly appear from around corners.

16:9 - more graphic detail and a more relaxed gaming experience

On the other hand, supporters of 16:9 (1920x1080) praise it for its sharper graphics and “calmer” gameplay. “16:9 looks prettier, the game feels slower, and my aiming seems more stable,” says user riv3. Most players agree that this setting provides a better gaming experience for those who prefer to play with AWP, as they can aim more accurately at long distances.

However, despite the benefits, some players find it difficult to see the smaller character models on the screen. “I have old eyes, and I often can't see the enemy at a distance,” writes one of the participants in the discussion.

Constantly switching between settings

One of the Reddit users who started the discussion shared his experience of constantly switching between the two settings. “I keep changing between 4:3 and 16:9 and can't stop,” he said. Some players advise just choosing one setting and not changing it, as this will help to improve the consistency of results in the game.

Conclusion.

The discussion on Reddit shows that there is no single “right” option when choosing between 4:3 and 16:9. It all depends on the style of play and personal preferences of the player. Some prefer speed and bigger hitboxes, while others appreciate the clarity and better sight control on larger screens.
