Question on FOV


From looking at the screenshots (especially the compass) it looks like the FOV is as low as 75 degrees. Is our FOV going to be fixed at that low value? Or will we be able to select a FOV we like?


I have played many diffrent FPS games, and I simply cannot stand playing with a lower FOV then I am used to. I hope Planetside gives us a display option to select our FOV (UT2K3 just added that option to the menu). A playing with a FOV under 90 feels like I have blinders on, and it is completely unrealistic--a person's natural FOV is around 120. Please give us an option to select our own FOV.

in tribes/tribes2 it helps alot to have a wider FOV (for me at least). its easier to lead shots and all that shit.

but in normal fps games, it just messes me up. all the buildings and walls are all stretched and weird looking. vertigo city.

Everything that's commonly tweaked out in FPSs (ex. FOV) should have a menu option in my opinion. If I have to mess with .cfgs or download scripts they goofed.

(Yes Quake players... die.)

an easy to use GUI would be very nice. just make it part of the area where you edit screen resolution....

but having a button to alter it ingame would be cool too

Eh, once you have it set up, how often would you really want to change it?

i think it would be nice to spy around corners and edges by altering your fov and moving your player around.

Depends. In T2 I used a script where I could cycle through my FOV. I played at 100, but would swap to 60 when I was chain gunning someone because it was like zooming in without the drawbacks of useing the zoom feature.

It didn't help me hit anything, but at least I knew it was because I sucked with the weapon, and not because the target was hard to see

That's the one I used. I liked the little Hud that told you what FoV you were in too. Came in handy a few times.

I haven't voted yet but I personally don't care about my FOV. The standard is what I'm used to and it's easy enough to use it and kill with it

Gah, the world looks so much better at 110! I feel like I'm wearing blinders when I play @ 90.
