Field of View? (fov)
« on: October 31, 2006, 03:55:19 PM »
I'm just curious what most players use.  It'd be interesting to find correlations in settings like fov, inverted mouse, sensitivity, etc.. and player's skill level.  Sensitivity is difficult to pin down because it varies with platform, hardware, vid_ref, etc.  Anyway.. vote away :)

Btw, 120 for me.  I've experimented with values between 100 and 135.  Values greater than 120 are sometimes tolerable for me if I'm on a wide screen display and using a wide aspect ratio video mode (read: > 4:3).

512x384 w/ 17" LCD


Why such a low resoloution.  Personally I can't stand it at 640x480, everything is to cramped up.  Of course I have fps, time, chat hud, and ping displayed as well  :erhmmm: .

Also, I have to see my gun on screen, otherwise I just feel weird.

Okay, so most people seem to be around the same fov.  But wow, I play at a higher resolution.. 1680x1050 on a 21.2" LCD.  Sensitivity of 0.5 with a Razer 1600dpi.   :purpleshock:
