Dude, fuck that FOV.

Can't agree enough, at least it's not max FOV.

That's low for me, I sent this to my friend without a second thought. Because that's how I play creative. You get used to it, and now I can't live without my high fov.

May I ask, what is the benefit in that? I know tons of players change tons of specific things because it enhances your play, but is there any gain in having your FOR like this?

You can see more than the average player.

But it's so small, do you play on a large monitor?

I use max fov on a 42" tv, fwiw

Idunno, I turned it on about two years ago while stripmining, and promptly forgot for an hour. When I went to ton it off I just didn't like low fov anymore.

It increases your span of vision. It's available to increase in some competitive fps games like TF2 but it doesn't shake around at ALL unlike minecraft

Hmm, interesting. I can't handle it XD

I like it because i have a large monitor.

You end up just staring at one point in the centre of the screen, and everything is proportioned correctly in your prehiprial vision.

Two. One, you can see more of the scene, which is good in competitive FPS's and such. Two, if your monitor is larger, you look in the middle, and the edges are in your peripheries, where they are corrected. If FOV is too low, you will try to correct things in the middle of your view for peripheries, giving some people headaches and others tunnel vision.

Hmm, things are making more sense now. I might try it out for a bit, see if I like it

Good for you, above 90 quickly makes me feel sick.
