FOV in Quake

[scar3crow]

This cat just loaded up PanQuake and changed his fov to 360


What are my fellow Quaker's take on altered fovs? I use 90 myself, but I find 110 to be playable...
But many games these days seem to use 80 or 85...


Honestly this was just an excuse to post this pic elsewhere, but really, what are your thoughts?

90, and sometimes in mods where hit location is key, 80.

I can't stand anything higher than 100.

Hit location is a natural thing for me... in Quake I still often go for headshots even though its rare the mod has such a thing coded for it.... Just always have. This made me a good bit more dangerous in Unreal and SoF.

LMFAO! That's a great pic.

(I used to use 90, I used to use 103 or 108 and sometimes I do).

Mines a beefy 122 FOV, I've personally seen people use 145 FOV but thats like running around with a 5' 7'' penis at attention when you got RL hehe 122 FOV is fine for me.

My sensitivity is set to 2

[Baker]

Haha! Good one.

I was telling the Quakeworlders that they ought to turn some of the cool stuff in those movies they make into desktop backgrounds/wallpaper/whatever you call it.

I told 'em this would be a good one is they didn't use an FOV that made weapons like someone's schlong.

I used to use 90, 2 days ago. When I was OWNING at shmack (well not total ownage, I still have my ghetto ball mouse), Hydro arrived and told me that I should change my FOV to 101. He said that it wouldn't be stretchy, and he was right. I can see more things and it looks almost like normal once you get used to it. Maybe I shall become even more skilled with the new FOV.

What is the Quake default?

[Monster]

90

What is the Quake default?

I'm sorry we cannot accept your answer. You must phrase your question in the form of an answer.

[Grim]

ALex, What is 90?

Seeing I've never changed it.

[scar3crow]

In TF I had binds for 90, 45, and 30. With the sniper autozoom turned off since its so laggy and slow. I changed the fov all the time.

I always used 90. Most of my clanmates were using 120+, but I just couldn't see it. Or my monitor was too small.
