You trade vertical periphery for horizontal. I think that if anything, it should be increased to 90.Īgain youre basing this assumption that because you can see wider you can see more people more easily on a long standing history of having been used to the 80FoV.Īlso you have to consider the trade off and yes there is one. The pictures show some really dramatic changes between the two extreme fov's. Obviously a change from 80 to 120 would make spotting oncoming people easier. It's more likely they're going to approach you from directly behind, but w/e.

Well being able to see your enemy is normally advantageous. Increased field of view isn't a pvp advantage don't be a moron I would have no problem if everyone's FoV got changed from the 80 or so it is now to 100-120. My problem with the suggestion last time was that the person suggesting it wanted the FoV customizable per character, which would lead to unfair advantages (especially on a PVP server).

I had a friend who was able to hack his 4 monitors in cod4 and get like 300 fov lol But if you have an extremely large monitor setup it could work. The higher the ratio is to width the more fov it can give you, however you lose a lot of vertical pixels in doing so making it look realllllllly wide screen. Yes, as I said essentially having a custom resolution or aspect ratio to trick the game into giving you a wider fov. = Exactly 120 fovĪnd keep in mind, Wurm is far from even being 90 fov. Minecraft is a modern first-player game with 110 fov on widescreen monitors, but people complained about that being too low, so the next update (tomorrow) will have a fov-slider in it.Īnyway, I'm just taking the example of CS being 90 fov on 4:3, and 'translating' it to the equivalent on 16:9: The proportions gets really screwed up when playing on a widescreen, which is why most 'serious' players changes their screensize when playing those games (you know, adding those black areas on the sides of the screen). The thing is, Counterstrike is a game from 1998, and like most other games from that time (for example SC or AoE) it's made for 4:3 screens. CoD games fov is capped at 90 iirc, same as cs games although you can get higher fov with manipulating custom resolutions, quake you can go up to 130 fovĪnd i dont have a problem with fov if i play full screen, but in a window it kinda gets to me
