View Full Version : Ammo Counts are unreadable on SDTVs

I'm enjoying the game so far, but the choice of red on black/blue means that the colours bleed into each other a bit and the ammo count for my guns are absolutely unreadable on an SD-TV.
Can you please make them white or something? It's kinda frustrating not knowing if I have 1 or 3 mines. :(

I concur, I can't tell how much ammo I have on my SD tv either.

I have a regular tv and I can't read ammo either.

I have a widescreen SDTV and can see them clearly. What size TV you using?

I have a 19 inch standard quality tv.

Yes I have the same problem, its hard to tell how much health the worms have also. Why can't I zoom in enough to see anything?

An 80cm 4:3 TV, but it's also unreadable on the 40cm 4:3 TV in my bedroom. Both are PAL screens.

Ive heard switching the screen type to Widescreen in xbox settings helps with some games & difficult text on 4:3 SDTVs. Worth a try at least.

Hmm, I've no idea then. If the switching to widescreen on the Xbox settings doesn't work, I suggest investing in a better SDTV (only cheap now), or an LCD/Plasma (sounds crazy for an 800msp game, i know! lol).

Eh, W2A is the only game I have issues with on the TVs. Everything else I've played on them looks absolutely fine and is quite readable. I'll try setting it to widescreen mode (Although it may already be set on that as my brother uses the Xbox on his Widescreen monitor when he uses it)
I'll get an LCD/Plasma eventually...but it's definitely out of my budget at the moment.
As a sidenote, I didn't even realise there was a number for the countdown timers for weapons until I played it on his LCD, because they are completely invisible on the SDTV. :-/

I can read ammo counts fine, and I'm using an old 90's TV.

My TV is from '95 and the loungeroom TV is from around '99. Doesn't change the fact that I can't read it. :/
