With the availability of certain launch commands, both the FOV, Glow and other effects can be adjusted, even though the in-game options menus are extremely restricted. This will be to compare what is available, and what the ideal setup may be.

Field of View

CL_FOV defaults at 55, but it can be adjusted to numbers such as 80. (80 is MAX for MP). You still move at the same speed, but the effect produced makes it seem as if you run faster, which is more in line with the speed of Crysis 1. Additionally, you get a little bit extra viewing area.

FOV 55


FOV 90


FOV 55 #2


FOV 90 #2


It feels like you're going faster at higher FOV:





From my testing so far, I would recommend an FOV of 80 for widescreen monitors.

Glow

R_Glow controls the HDR, skylight and light bloom intensity. Turning it off to 0 reduces the effects. This may be beneficial to people who don't like excessive lighting effects.

Glow ON


Glow OFF


Glow ON #2


Glow Off #2


Personally I prefer no glow, since it leaves the colors intact.

Note:
R_Glow command needs to be entered in game.cfg to work.
