What FOV do you play at?

[911^NEmeSis]

So here the question is, in FPS based game, what field of view do you play in?

I don't really like playing in anything less than 80ish. Mostly 90/95 or sometimes even Quake stye!

 

I just like being able to see plenty around me and small fovs make me feel strange.

[Dave :)]

Whatever the largest value the game allows :D.

Anything below 75 makes me physically sick, not even joking.

Quake style is hilarious to play on sometimes :P Mostly I hang around the 90 mark. Then I go back to minimum and I feel blind :P

[Smoka]

90-100

[911^NEmeSis]

Yeah good stuff guys, I just hate low FOV and games where there isn't a freaking slider!

[ERSCreeper]

Normally 90

[XiaoPigs]

I play at 80. I find more comfortable than 90 and I play and even aim better at 80

[Minjon]

Mostly 90 but in games like Chivalry medieval Warfare around 105.

How much does it improve your aim, im thinking of trying this in BF3 since i know X-Factor also has a lower FOV.

Anything below 95 makes me kinda nauseous. Games with no fov sliders make me angry

Well I mean it only lets you see a wider angle which I guess helps greatly in map awareness and awareness of your surroundings.

Quake vision! Max mouse sensitivity.

I can't really explain it but it just does for me. For some people they play better at higher FOVs. I guess it's a personal preference sort of thing.

[Tr3vor]

90-100.

I hate BFBC2 for having no FOV slider and its stuck at what looks like 60-70...

[Deus Ragno]

As much as possible without warping the image or screwing with viewmodels.

My thoughts exactly. I just sniped mostly in that game anyways so most of what I saw was down a scope :D

I remember my friend who did counter strike 1.6/go tournaments told me they would always go like 800x600 or something like that so they can be more precise and i guess you don't need 90 FOV when you are playing a clan match and you pretty much know from what exists they will come out, but conquest large is a different story.

lol I'm a hardcore 1.6 player, just stopped like 30mins ago and a lot of players including myself play on a low res. I personally, like the majority play on 640x480. In our case it just makes it easier to spray but gets you to feel closer to the game.

I have great respect for 1.6 players, the guy that i used to be friends with pretty much taught me a lot of thing about FPS competitive play. I wanted to play CS competitively but couldn't find people play skirmishes with but they all played with who they knew so i gave up on cs. He played against Na'Vi on a Adepto BH Open (they won a few rounds),he won lots of tournaments in this whole region and played a few Skirmishes against NiP so i think he was a good player and i took his advice's.

How does one find out what FOV one is playing at? 

 

And, How does one alter the FOV, say for example, in ArmA II: DayZ Mod?

 

edit: I answered both of my questions through a simple google search.

 

Here is what I found if anyone is interested.

I will find out what field of view I like playing at and report it later.

[ExDreamer]

I never change my fov.I play whatever fov game throws at me

[Legend932]

As high as it goes, If I play at less than 85 I get sick. if a game doesn't let me change FOV i flat out won't buy it until  there is a fix or a way around it. Yes i do look for that in games.

[fuse]

I remember there being an equation to find the "perfect" FOV and when I did it I came out to be 80-85. It uses your height, monitor size, distance from screen, and something else. 

[Volbet]

Around 90-100, and even up to 110 in some titles

[x-Mez]

Anywhere in between 110-130 depends on the game.
