More realistic?

[jamesdanielwebber]

I was watching a video on youtube the other day and I saw someone who had changed their view somehow, I know it has something to do with the console.

Basically you can move the weapon closer or further away from your arm. Does anyone know what I type in the console to do this??

cg_fov 80

Ever since I knew about that command I love using it. It's awesome to see more of the gun.

I think it's stupid how it's default 'zoomed in'.

I'm quite the opposite, I hate it. It's less realistic because in real life your vision doesn't "zoom in" when looking through the scope of a weapon, it stays the same. I've shot guns before and the only difference I've had with my vision was that I closed my other eye.

So it sucks because you can see more cool things like how the weapon reloads ?

I can see how it reloads clearly. I don't know where your getting that from . But then again, i just went to the eye doctor today and i need glasses >.<.

You see it much better if you set fov to 80.

true, but it's still less realistic in two senses. One of them being that you can change your fov and two being that you can see more than you would see irl, but it mainly depends on the person to make that decision (the 2nd reason). I don't think that made much sense, but I cba to fix the wording.

people in real life don't have a 80 degree fov? What kind of peripheral vision do you have? I personally can see about 120 degrees pretty clearly.

yup, but when the way that the 80 degree fov looks in game is unrealistic in my eyes, everything looks far too narrow.

Thats because you are looking at the game at about 30-40 degrees. If your eyes naturally saw 120 degrees of real life at 80 degrees of field of vision then it would also look squashed >.<

I suppose, but the game is more angled to look the best at 65 degrees fov otherwise 80 would have been the default fov, therefore i can conclude that 65 is the better choice (imo).

[BlueDamselfly]

I agree with infi, I rather to use cg_fov 65 too.

It's a matter of opinion here.
