The "Widescreen" black bars in Bioshock 2 aren't nearly as obnoxious as the ones in Bioshock, but I still don't see any need for them to be there. They don't give you a wider aspect ratio, they just create the illusion of it by obstructing how much of the screen you can actually see.
This is basically a successor to my Fullscreen Cutscenes mod for the original Bioshock Remastered I uploaded a few weeks back.
NOTE: This mod requires replacing the file HUDPC.swf in the FlashMovies folder with my one. This means any existing HUD mods you have installed will be overwritten. For this reason I've included instructions for how to modify your own HUDPC.swf file to achieve the same results while retaining any existing mods you might already have installed.
Ignore the inconsistency in color in the screenshots - one set of images were captured on my main PC with Reshade and the other set were captured on my laptop without reshade, but this won't affect your install.
