Don’t you get like 107 anyway when using a 16:9 aspect ratio? And anyway, your point about having more money to get better hardware will surely still stand if the FOV cap is raised? Won’t that just mean people can eyefinity or whatever for even higher fov’s?

congratulations on a complete rehash of the op

tbh its pretty hard to call someone on having a bigger fov.

I would like this unlocked. Its high enough on my 16:10 screen, but on my CRT it isn’t :(.

Read my post above:

“The point is to remove the limit. People can already get as much fov as they want by modifying their aspect ratio.”

OK fair enough, my bad, just seems kinda silly to me since tf2 is a game where classes like pyros, scouts or spies thrive from approaching out of your field of view, and it seems kinda silly to remove the cap, thus putting them at a disadvantage.

I don’t care if it wasn’t made very well, it’s old and I don’t even use that fov anymore

If there is a disadvantage they already have it with people that currently modify their aspect ratio. I think the max is 180 though, anything above will make you not be able to see anything. I don’t think it’s very good to play with something that high either, you will just get sick after a while.

According to this, having a ridiculously high fov has it’s own drawbacks. If the limit is removed, it just evens the playing field and lets everyone use ~120. I mean, who’s going to use 180 fov? And if you can play on 160 then kudos to you.

Support this!
