 The stock field of view (FOV) in COD4 is 65 degrees. See above picture....
You can widen your view all the way to 80 degrees and thus get a better view of what is coming at you on your flanks by typing the following command in your console (you enter the console by hitting the tilde "~" key) as follows:
/cg_fov 80
Or, you can permanently set this in your config_mp.cfg file which is located in the: C:\Program Files\Activision\Call of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare\players\profiles\YourPlayerName, then open config_mp.cfg with note pad and find this >>> seta cg_fov "65" and change to this >>> seta cg_fov "80"
The picture below is at an 80 degree FOV. |

Wide screen and FoV are two totally different things...

lojack is right chester, I have seen other people talking about their widescreen FOV and you still need/want to set your FOV.
I think you can only go as wide as 80 degrees in multi player, but in single player you can go wider.

Any clue how to change text size for server msgs or chat msgs???
I changed my resolution up, but its still screwing with my FOV when long msgs go sprawling over toward my crosshair...

I agree--I think CSS actually has better placement of the on-screen text. Why the chat is way up there is beyond me.
peace. bubs

Yeah, still havent found anything about changing that...i'm sure its somewhere in that mess of cfg file, but i dont want to just start fuq'in around with it.
i mean, its just odd to me that the chat width would allow to come out to literally about 1/2" from the crosshair.
My res is 1024x768 btw
