FOV for Quake 3 (84 comments)

( Forum: Q3)

Posted by Cyn1c @ 09:05 CST, 12 December 2008 - iMsg

What FOV do you use for Quake 3, irrespective of the mod you play. I've been using FOV = 130 ever since i began playing quake 3.

I know it's too much but I just can't come to terms with "in your face" kind of vision.

I'm surprised to see that the majority prefers their FOV on the higher side. Most of the pro players are under 100 with sensi 1-3.5..ain't it?

Seriously this is just like "What is the best sens?" It is all comfort. I feel that I perform best 105
fov, yet some people say 90/100/110/130/whatever fov is the best.
Play with the fov that you play best with.

I cant get my fov to go over 120, nothing changes except my weapon lowers further and further out of sight after that point.. :(

anyone have any ideas as to why this could be happening?

Liam - Reply to #66

I thought the upper limit was 130? But it needs to be locked at some point to make it sensible, otherwise you could have a bind to basically set it up as a rear view mirror, I mean it's a pretty minor issue really but it's worth limiting.

im am simply trying to set it a bit higher than 120, because i just switched to widescreen and the fov needs to be adjusted when doing so.. i used fov 110 with a 4x3 aspect ratio, but with 16x9 as I have now, it should be 124.6 or perhaps a bit higher. the limit i am facing right now is a solid 120
