a lot of EA games do support widescreen, its just that EA refuses to add it to older games.
Battlefield 2 and Battlefield 2142 do NOT support widescreen - it stretches to fit. You can hack it, but its really using a 4:3 ratio and chopping off the top and bottom (while still keeping the hud/GUI on screen)
Theres a good reason why they don't.
widescreen gives you a different viewable area on screen.
Giving a widescreen option to a game where a large majority of players will be using 4:3 gives you an unfair advantage.
And it requires modifying the game engine sometimes.
Its not a problem for like.. say a racing game.. but a FPS can allow you to see stuff you shouldn't normally.
