"152389: Changing the resolution does make things smaller, but it uses more pixels for a more detailed image. As for using your monitor's native resolution, if you have a CRT monitor it doesn't really matter all that much. If you have an LCD monitor, using anything other than the native resolution usually results in a distorted mess." A distorted mess that can be more noticable to some people than others though. Most I see when playing in a non-native res is a little blur, which can mask aliasing a little bit at times. :)
I'm also gonna have to add Age of Mythology, Call of Duty, the Original Doom Trilogy, Unreal Tourament 2004, America's Army, Team Fortress Classic, Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell, Day of Defeat, and finally SiN.
