Please tell me we have the capabilities within the dev team to make this bad boy work with this game?

Yes, the dev team can do anything with the code.  Now ask for when it will be done

But everyone knows the answer to that one. Soon™.

Difference between goals and software requirements:  goals are defined as requirements without deadlines.

 

So sure, getting that to work is a goal of CoH.

I'm working from a many-years-old memory, so I may be misremembering, but from what I remember on the original boards from people who played using multiple monitors, the problem was the field-of-view limit; you could get a multi-monitor game display that spanned across three monitors, but the field of view you got wasn't increased from what you had on a single monitor, which meant that you lost visual angle up and down. So while you could play with a display that was 5760x1080 across three monitors, what you saw was like setting a single monitor to 1920x1080, then putting covers over the top and bottom third of your screen, so all you saw was the middle third.

Yeah, that wouldn't be worth it if that's the case.

I'm not sure about that, I've run windowed mode and stretched across both monitors and I believe I got the extra horizontal you'd expect.  The problem was that your character was smack in the middle split between the two monitors and that 1/2" of bezel on each side of the monitor was distracting.  If you had two monitors with screen to the edge then it might work with just the horizontal line in the middle.  Still, I found it bothersome and stuck with a single monitor and a web browser up on the other screen.  Or Mid's when I was working on a respec.
