It is a common debate whether stretched gives you an advantage or not. If you look at the chart above, you can see that play on 4:3 Stretched you have a wider target. In theory making giving you an advantage. If you are looking for ways to better your play (results may vary) or the game was getting stale and you need something fresh, this is for you.


1. Download this [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] ( [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] )

2. Open CSGO > Options > Video Settings > Aspect to 4:3 > Resolution to the highest one you can [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] Laptops should be 1024x768 Monitors should be 1280x960

3. Extract the HRC file to your desktop. Double click > press CTRL+ALT+R and it will open [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] (your resolutions will be different)

4. Set the top resolution to your monitors actual resolution, and the bottom one to the resolution you just set in CSGO. Then set a hotkey for each of the two by clicking "change" then pressing a key then press "set" to confirm it. I use F5/F6. Now minimize that program.

5. Open CSGO and press the hotkey you set to change the resolution. (mine is F6)

With the HRC program, you have to have it running for the hotkeys to work. When you double click it on your desktop it starts to run the program. To actually open it, you have to CTRL+ALT+R. Just minimize it and it will go to your icons on the bottom right.

Now the black bars should be gone and your screen should be in widescreen. This does take a few games to get used too.

This method should work on all OS's

If it isn't working for you or you have any questions, don't hesitate to PM me. I am always on and will help to any extent.
