[quote="Sgt. Tsunami":09eb8]Question:

What advantages does a higher game resolution actually give you? Is that how some people seem like there not leaning around a corner, but still able to shoot you?
All it seems to do is make the on-screen stuff smaller (ie: Ammo bar, compass.)[/quote:09eb8]

Yes, increasing the screen resolution "squishes" what's on the screen to make it smaller, but it also makes room for more objects. Also, since everything is smaller, the game's engine can increase the polygon detail in all of the objects on the screen, making them look more realistic, and less jaggy.
