seriously, why only 80 FOV? : Crysis

» Thu Mar 07, 2013 8:09 pm

I don't want to seem like some angry nerd rage child, but I was pretty (to say the least) disappointed that the maximum Field of View was 80, I mean heck not even the regular 90 that most PC games have. Also why take the FOV slider out from beta? I don't understand any of this FOV ideas that went down at crytek. I miss being able to feel like the game was fast paced with 120 fov, heck I'd even be happy with 100 FOV right now. Any plans for making it higher?

also, inb4 "play the game how it's meant to be played" or "FOV IS CHEATING" lol thats cute

The FoV has changed from C2 in C3. But basically, the distortion of the high FoV will likely make you being unable to perceive the environment correctly.

But it's really easy to change it beyond 80, beyond 120 even.

I had no issues with it in the beta, everything ran smoothly

there's two ways.

1) you can download the file from this thread: http://secure.gamesas.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=65&t=56955 and change the FOV in that cVar editor

or

2) in game, you can open up the console with the tilde key, next to 1 if you were unsure, then typing the following: cl_fov 80
then hit enter and bingo, you're set

also, it wont let me change it beyond 120, I could in beta but not in this, it seems to be locked at 80 max

help?
tried using the cvar configurator, tried changing it in game via console, tried changing it in the CFG file but still to no avail

3) use an autoexec.cfg

Code:

cl_fov = 70
r_DrawNearFoV = 70
pl_movement.power_sprint_targetFov = 70

everything beyond 80 is considered as cheating to me...
