Games that use a 2nd screen ?

So far I've only played 2 games that actively use a second screen, Supreme commander and world in conflict, Anyone know of any more ?

WoW is almost completely expandable/configurable - a lot of folks I used to raid with would have one screen for the main view, and another with minimap, chat, raid timers, admin tools, voice-comms stuff, strategy notes etc etc etc.

Pretty sure one of the formula 1 games does it and Even is pretty good on two monitors, seen more games take advantage of Logitech G19s small LCD screen than I have take advantage of a second monitor tbh. Pretty sad that many don't especially RTS games.

Battlefield 4 has support to run your map outside of the game, which means you can just have it on your second screen.

That is a nice feature.

I wish Arma supported that

Sim City really missed a trick with not taking advantage of multiple monitors.

I always thought you could use the ati/nvidia tools to make 2 screens look like one extra wide res screen? Annoying that you'll have the bezel in the middle of course...

While we're here, how do folks find gaming on the extra wide (2560x1080) screens? Seems like a nice way to increase ones field of view in FPS as well as having a decent bit more screen estate in general?

I always wondered why there weren't more games that used this feature.

not many people have 2 monitors so why bother and those with 3 would probably rather do something else with the others

Warthunder has a live map on 2nd screen in browser. http://127.0.0.1:8111/

supreme commander 2! has the map on the second screen, helps so much as its a lot bigger so you know whats happening much faster and can tackle attacks a lot faster as well.

other than that i have not come across any

For info, The BF4 Map can be run not just on another screen, but any other PC, Tablet etc.. you just need to log into BattleLog on it. The is an Ipad battlelog app for this too.

I use my second screen more for monitoring apps, mumble etc as not enough games utilize it, but then again, its the minority who have such setups I imagine.
