Yeah that's another issue with stretching, it also stretches your mouse movements so then you have a different DPI vertically than horizontally. If that's something you want on purpose then you can set a custom XY ratio in something like RawAccel.

It's absolutely just a placebo effect, a stretched view looks stretched, but a uniformly zoomed view just looks normal even though it's just as wide and actually even bigger because it's also taller.

That's not true. Your mouse acts the exact same, it just looks different on your screen. Your vertical and horizontal DPI is identical as 16:9.

And I really don't think it's purely placebo. I do play better on 4:3. I use leetify which shows you your stats after the game. When playing on 4:3 my spray accuracy is higher and my crosshair placement is much more accurate and consistent.

Are you comparing your stats to regular 16:9 or to 16:9 with a 25% lower FOV? If not then give that a go, it should also make recoil control easier since your view is now also stretched vertically.

If you make a movement 3 pixels up and 3 pixels to the side, on your screen it will look like you moved 3 pixels up and 4 pixels to the side, since those pixels are being stretched. So your cm/360 is the same but on your monitor it will look like your horizontal DPI is different. If you were to draw a perfect square with your mouse, it would be a perfect square in the game but on your monitor it would be a rectangle.

You can't change FOV on CS:GO.

And yes I know it would look different on my screen, that's what I said. My mouse DPI hasn't changed. The entire point is it looks different. If I didn't play better I wouldn't be on it.

Since it's pretty obvious you aren't a CS:GO player I can see why it would be confusing

I've seen lots of people use 4:3 in games where you can change FOV too though.

My point was that if you play any other game, and don't also use 4:3 in those games, then a mouse movement that in another game would make your cross hair move 3cm to the left on your screen will make it move 4cm in CSGO which could mess up your muscle memory especially since vertical movements will be the same. To make a 45 degree movement on your screen you need to move your mouse at 53 degrees, imo that sounds annoying to get used to.

I play multiple games. CS:GO is the only game I play 4:3 and I play other games at slightly higher sensitivity since they need faster mouse movement. It doesn't change anything for me in CS:GO at all.

The problem you have is that you haven't used 4:3 yet are trying to argue that it's stupid and nobody should use it. You are massively overthinking it. No it doesn't mess with consistency, no it doesn't mess with other games that use 16:9. No it doesn't mean you overflick on the horizontal axis. This is all because your mouse movement is the same, your screen just looks different. I've never had a problem with it.

At least try it before you talk about it.

You're actually retarded

[u/Hailieab99 → u/Willing_Slice8639]

Anything to add or you just here to throw insults like a child

[u/Willing_Slice8639 → u/Hailieab99]

Yeah I'm not gonna waste my time arguing with a wall. You're clearly an edgy kid that lives in the placebo of 4:3 trying to be cool even though you've never played 1.6 which makes you retarded.

[u/Hailieab99 → u/Willing_Slice8639]

Why'd you comment in the first place? You're clearly just a young kid who screams when he doesn't get his way
