    Field of view in single player is too narrow

    'What is the difference of FOV'

    I don't think anyone else has complained but I can't take it. Field of View is something that is hard for people to tell. I and I understand if the FOV is somin' like 50º when aiming down the sight but when your not it's probably 60º to 75º.

    Found a way of binding the 'W' key so it changes the FOV to 90º.
    It works well.

    People used to mess with FOV all the time in Quake 1 and 3 (used to play with a 120 to 135 FOV most of the time).  Most PC games lock it down these days because it does affect gameplay a lot.  Of course console games lock it down naturally as well.  I agree often times a low FOV can be annoying to play in.

    When you turn the FOV all the way up on QuakeLive it looks like a fish eye mode.

    Just open up the console and type in /cg_fov 120.


    Oh wait, forgot that we were talking about a crappy war shooter.  I'll be leaving now.

    @Tobbeo: I think it's

    A temp fix suggested would be to bind it to your W key so that when you spawn and start moving, it will reset. To do that, try putting the following exactly as is into your config_mp.cfg file (copy over the existing W bind):
    bind W "+forward;cg_fov 80" (I couldn't get this to work in the console, but it did work using the config file)

    And I don't think it works online
