I was grinding Medic, and decided to take a brake. Shut down the game, for about 15mins, started it back up, and suddenly my field of view got a whole lot more kick-***. I can now fully see my player holding his weapon including the front grip, compared to just seeing the ejection port, and part of the magazine on AR style weapons, as well as a rather large gain in peripheral vision. Anyhow, I was looking for some sort of patch notes, and see none, anywhere, regarding this. (I was actually trying to see what else they've worked on) anyhow from my experience just now:

-Field of view has increased dramatically
-Movement seems a lot more fluid (all around)
-Movement speed seems to have increased? Or is it just because of the new FOV? Dunno

Anyhow, it's awesome.


PS: I've played a lot of games, and the way the weapon is displayed now is top notch fps stuff. Just my 2c

Hey man what did you do for these 15 mins?? Anyway i don't know

Well lets see...

Step 1) Approach my Female Counterpart at the Desk behind me playing her MMO
Step 2) Proceed to _________her
Step 3) Chit Chat and Laugh about something that probably wasn't funny
Step 4) Hastily walk to the refrigerator and pull out and ice cold _______.
Step 5) Return to the computer Chair.
Step 6) Continue to feed my budding Brink addiction.

That about sums it up. Good times eh?

Wait wait wait...only took you 15 mins? Shame sir, shame on you.

what are you talking about, he said it took him 15 mins for ALL of that!!!

Well.. I suppose it all comes down to time management... maybe multiple items on the list only took 1 minute, while another took 14. I work quickly; you figure it out.


PS: No one, not anyone whom has viewed my post has mentioned anything about a sudden change in the Field of View, and mobility on the Steam version. They've instead peered into what I was doing exactly in my 15minutes of fame. Which, is actually quite interesting.

No patch that I'm aware of, but the FoV changing randomly has happened to a handful of people, so I wouldn't be surprised if it were just a glitch. The fluid movement and increased speed are most likely a result of the changed FoV (you can see more).

Also, if they released a patch that only upped the FoV, I would be beyond pissed because it's such an easy tweak lol
