1440p by this point is the more popular standard for FPS and gaming in general. 1080p is only losing more and more users. Even if the technical number of 1080p users is higher, 1440p is vastly more popular for comp.
4:3 is the best for isometric or top-down games because vertical screen space is just as valuable as horizontal screen space, but for FPS or third person, I'll stick with 16:9
I find it hilarious that they swear by 4:3 considering when Widescreen started to become popular we all couldn't wait to switch to it because of the higher field of view giving you an advantage.
Remember we always called them monitor or hardware cheaters on LAN, all in good faith because we all wanted one as well, but they were plain too expansive at that time.
The whole 4:3 debate is honestly just a placebo, no, it won't make you better, it's just perception, same as lightweight mice and small keyboards, none of that will make you better at the game.
I play in 4096×2160 on a big ass TV. The aspect ratio would be 17:9. I don't play competitive games tho. I have an old 1080p 16:9 monitor than can do 240hz, but i prefer the 4k@120Hz TV that actually makes the 4090 earn its worth.

I use 16:9 1600×900 😅
4:3 and 1280×720p resolution for maximum nostalgia
Only real gamers play on 32/9 or 64/9 ( I play on 16/9)
4k is the move
I played CS in 4:3 and CS:S in 16:9.
480p the resolution of god
Always 720
the more important side effect is the enemy is larger but moving faster
Call me crazy but I play in 2k
play 4:3 but stretching the screen to fit whatever super wide monitor you have
whichever one doesnt lag out my game (i play on mac 😭)
800×600 in games my laptop can handle, 640×480 in games not supposed to be played on a 2012 desk laptop
3120×1440, but I usually play games on my phone, and that is the highest resolution available.

the game just look right in 4 3
I now play in 4k, on a 65"tv at 120hz.
Don't shit on me too much.
I take my comfort seriously
1080p or 720p, but I dont play CS2 cus I can't run it 💔
1440p, 16:9
me who plays on 5:4…
I heard the 640×480 resolution was passed down to us by God. It allows you to see the unseen. Huh?
what is this leafyishere ass background gameplay
saying that 4:3 has disadvantages while not calling out the big advantage which is the reason why people are still playing on it, is kinda crazy
It's not even nostalgia there's something about the squarer screen that just feels right, more comfortable and enjoyable
I love every odd resolution/ratios. It's fun.
first ever monitor 1440p never regret my choise

I use what the game lets me
i use the lowest possible so my 13 year old laptop doesnt instantly crash

1080p. 60hz HP monitor.
My laptop can't run anything higher 640×480
4:3 if you flick every microseconds, 16:9 if you lazy moving your aim
My 2080ti just barely gets 3440×1440 in modern games

Is FOV useless? There's no shot this is true.
