90 is default and it sucks hard, set it to 65 or so...

To get a 90 fov right click the game from the library. Got to properties. Then set launch options. Put this in there, -fov 90. If you dont belive me take a referance point and line up crosshairs on something and see where screen ends. Then put that line in and use same referance for crosshair. You will see out farther.

Hhmm, I didn't know this group existed until now. I see Valve finally included an option to change the FOV. It surprises me that so little PC gamers have complained about this in the first place.
I still think it's a kick in the face of the PC gaming community that Valve, who know exactly what FOV is good for PC gamers, did not include the proper FOV from the start. It is literally one line of coding that needs to be changed; have they really become that lazy towards PC gamers?
It was actually one of the reasons why I cancelled my pre-order of L4D2 at the time of the demo's release. It was really disappointing to see this FOV and also to go back to a prehistoric viewmodel where the gun is glued to the right hand sight of the camera, rather than in the hands of a fully rendered model whose body was visible thru the FPS view. Why take a step back in this regard; it makes no sense.

seems like 65 or so

just for reference what was the original fov in l4d1?

OK, cl_viewmodelfovsurvivor changes the FOV of the weapons... now if only we could increase the FOV of the whole view, then maybe it wouldn't look so cramped that I feel the need to lean back from the monitor :( Stupid-ass "TV FOV" that's meant for consoles!

Well, we got them do it. Thanks for any signatures I got in my petition.

that sucks and FOV in L4D1 and L4D2 IS NOT THE SAME ! :(

A thread in the L4D2 forum with a solution to the retarded viewmodel FoV:

Its a new plugin where you can change the viewmodel size, i think this is exactly what we were waiting for. Just to stupid that Valve couldnt provide this and we had to wait for a community member to do the work.

I just joined because of the weapon models, but the actual fov is the same... And not all source games... Look at tf2. KK THX BAI

joined to post this comment and say that all source games have the same exact fov, the gun view models are just bigger.

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ I thought I was the only one that noticed.

I don't have the game but I believe in the cause.

Joined too. I might as well play with my eyes closed.

joined. l4d2 FOV is ridiculous

Thanks for the people that have invited more and more people on board but we still need alot more

valve didnt even try versus...

Indeed the bots seem to destroy all the specials easily but do nothing while you lay on the ground with a horde around you... Theres quiet alot about the game that could do with fixing, But i shall wait and see as so far valve havent led me too far astray ;)

There's also NO headbob anymore, I feel like I'm sliding around on ice, ...kinda like the "Ellis" animation. Also, what's up with Rochelle's KILLER bot skillz? She headshots every "Special-Infected" before I even get to see them, ...and I'm a pretty good gamer, dammit!

there is a command in the engien yes. but its locked on l4d2.. well u can change it but it does not change anything. the legs have a debug command also in the console...

erm isnt there a variable to change this via console, and has it not already been implemented in other source games.. to correct this would be easy.

AND! I want my legs baccccccccckkkkkkk ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ valve!

suppose i better start thinking of what im gonna put to them >.<

Yup i agree dude, this is not going to be no overnight kinda get this fixed. but i really do think its something worth pushing for. I need everyone here to invite as many people as possible and we need to spread this message over the the USA also as i think all the members here now are euro.


Please dont just invite make a message so people know what the invite as a bout i know im asking alot but i feel like this is something that could make the playing experiance better for us all... so we really need to work together to allow this to work...


good luck people!

i think we need to be at least 25000+ to get valve working... there was like 35000 that bought the pre-game

do you get prices for being in this group?? :D


PS.

just kidding :P

Come on guys try and get as many people as possible to join the group so I can approach valve with the numbers behind me that actually mean something !

good point
