    After you start the game, look into options, and make sure that you checked "fullscreen". For some reason, it sometimes uncheck it for you. If that doesn't help, then I have no idea.

    Another thing you can do if that doesn't work is to go to the shortcut properties and select maximized in the Run: dropdown box. Selecting full screen in-game sometimes doesn't work for me so that's what I do instead.

    If you run it at native resolution, it will automatically run at full screen mode at startup.

    When I was playing Warhead... and I think Crysis as well, even though it was set at Native res and fullscreen mode, it would still start in windowed mode... but fill the whole screen. A quick alt+enter fixed the problem though.
