How to fix the stretching issue on Ultrawide Displays
I have no idea if this would work with 32:9 (Super Ultrawide) displays. That is something that you are going to have to figure out yourself.

So when you first launch the game and set it to 3440x1440 for example this is what happens. This guide will help you fix it
First Step
Go to https://flawlesswidescreen.org/ and scroll down then select which one that will work on your computer. If it's 64 Bit select the 64 Bit installer for example. Although if you are running an ultrawide you are most likely on a 64 Bit computer.
Second Step
After you ran the installer and installed the program run it then search for "black" then click on "Call of Duty: Black Ops" once.
If done correctly it will look like this:
Final Step
Once you have done everything above go ahead and launch the game with the program running. After getting into the game it should look like this:
If it looks like the first screenshot you most likely closed the program by accident or unticked some of the check boxes by mistake.
IMPORTANT
The single player executable for this game does not have Valve Anti-Cheat so you can play zombies online with this running but the multiplayer executable does have VAC so unless you are going to be playing combat training with anti-cheat disabled I recommend shutting down the program before launching multiplayer and going into a online match with VAC enabled. This program is essentially a memory hack/mod as it goes in and fixes the Hud scaling and of course the aspect ratio/stretching issue. Please note even if you disable Hud scaling/or aspect fix it could still trigger a VAC Ban so yeah just shut it down before launching multiplayer. But if you want you can play in combat training with bot's without getting vac banned as long as this option is set to "NO":
I play bot's a lot more then actual multiplayer just so I can play with the fix.

For those having the hud centering issue on 3440x1440 and above resolutions, try this out. https://github.com/dlrudie/WidescreenFixer/releases Works the same as flawless widescreen but the hud is to the sides and not centered weirdly like 4:3. Works great on my 32:9 ultrawide.

Refer to the IMPORTANT part of the guide. Yes it does work on MP offline with bots/vac turned off but this can get you banned if you run it and join a vac secured multiplayer server.

does the widescreen fixer work in mp?

If they have added Black ops 3 to flawless widescreen than yes it should work. But if it is not there than this software does not support black ops 3 and you would need to find something else. I would recommend trying what CRAYON EATER was using which is SUWSF.

By chance does this work on black ops 3?

Weird. Will definitely try testing later to see if I can replicate this problem. Have something to send to the devs for bug fixing.
