Being able to adjust fov 90-120

[lundapag]

I posted another question in the troubleshooting section were I wanted to know why I can't adjust fov and I got the reply that it basically was to prevent players from being able to zoom by setting fov to a low value.
But I got several inputs from people who like me like to use a larger fov than 90 in the 110 to 120 degree range.

So I propose that it should be possible to set the fov from 90-120 in the game.
Is there any support for this and most of all is it possible?

well actually i can see the use of using 120 as standard FOV and tying a slight zoom up till 90 degrees FOV to the contrioll breat option. Alowing you to "focus" with open sights weapons.

An interesting idea!
I like it.
Kind of modeling what happens when you focus on
an object.

I think this calls for a clientside option

Personally I'd prefer to stick to good 'ol 90, but I cant see a higher value being unfair in anyway.

The reason for wanting this is that since I appreciate that inf is driven by realism, it just irks me that I feel like I am running around with my eyeballs glued in their sockets only being able to look straight ahead and my only option to look in another direction is to turn my head and body in that direction.
I think a normal fov (90) is enough at long range but at medium to short range especially when there are a lot of buildings (sicily for instance) ;-) it is really easy for someone to sneak up on me.
A greater fov only partially solves the problem though,
When you run past an opening of some sort (door, street) normally you would really quick just look in that direction, while still running straight ahead, to see if there are any enemies there. Kind of the same thing you do when you drive through an intersection.
So another thing that may be useful is to have a control like the one in a flightsimulator where you can look to the left and right, simulating turning you head real quick.

What do you think?

Really great game otherwise!

Take care
