CS Source - Widescreen vs 4:3

Here are two screenshots of CS-Source compared.

Pic1: 1280x1024 (4:3)
Pic2: 1280x768 (widescreen)






Notice there is the quiet a fair bit missing on the 4:3. The game also feels much faster when playing in widescreen format,

I would use the wide screen option only it doesn't have an option for black bars so it can be used on a 4:3 monitor like the SeriousSam games

And of course it looks like stuff is going by faster. Suddenly you vcan see allot more going by you. Gives people in wide screen a nice little advantage. Not that it would mater that much if you use your sound properly anyway
