I brought this up in TS last night and some people were unaware of this option, so I figured I would post it for everyone.

THe default Field of View in COD5 is 65 degrees, which for me felt like you were walking with Blinders on.

However, you can use the Console Command "CG_FOV 80", and it will change your field of View to 80 degrees (Maximum).

This totally opens up your peripheral vision and makes it alot easier to spot the enemy and just be aware of your surroundings as a whole.

o.O i was unaware of said awsomeness

Does this also change your vertical field of view, or it the aspect ratio messed up?  pet peeve of mine... cant stand it when the aspect ratio is wrong...

Does not seem to mess with the Aspect Ratio or Vertical Field of View at all, it just draws a wider field of view, keeping all other aspect ratios the same.

I thought everyone knew...This is MUCH better I've used it for years (works on COD4 too)..I cant imagine NOT using it!

It is a stroke of uberness!  Thanks for the tip.

Ill give it a go, I knew about it but never used it because I seem to do fine without it, ill prolly test it for a day and see how i do using it
