Still no way to change viewmodel fov outside of "cheating" command.

[Zombine]

People have been asking for this feature since 2015 and we're in 2018 right now.
Please, this needs to be a priority in 2018 roadmap. Is this such a hard thing to do Tripwire?

Are you talking about a 3rd person view instead of a 1st person?

EDIT: OP confirmed he is talking about 1st person

The game was created and balanced around first person only. I'm personally against it because being able to see all around you and around corners breaks what the game is about. You would never be suprised and you could even see stuff behind you before it hits/grabs you. The overall atmosphere of the game would be ruined

I also recall a few months ago a tripwire staff member replying to a post and saying third person was not going to be a thing. Yes a few people have been asking for it for a long time but there is a reason it has not be added to the game

First person. View model is a first person thing where it indicates how close it is to the camera in KF2s case weapon models are ginormous.

Ah I apologize then. I've seen several threads lately asking for 3rd person view and thought that was what you meant. It's 3 AM so I'm half asleep anyway haha. Yeah allowing us the option to change that is something I could get behind

He's talking about how the weapon model looks at a certain FoV. This TF2 guide has pictures to show what changing viewmodel FoV does.

Personally, I feel the default Winchester and Centerfire view models are too close.

Tripwire said this isn’t something they want to implement.

”As our weapons are designed and built around a static weapon FoV which changing could cause severe visual issues we have decided not to make any changes here.”

Yeah I've read that, it truly is a pathetic excuse, dont you agree?

I cant stand that AA-12 or double barrel takes 90% of my entire screen and I cant see a clot or stalker to my right.

"cause severe visual issues" Yeah right, I would be able to see a little bit of hand model being invisible at the bottom. WHAT HORROR!

I'm usually in the first rows of the crowd that demands weapon viewmodel adjustability, first and foremost due to the consolized weapon models that take up a quarter of the screen.

not the case in KF2 tbh, I think TWI actually nailed the balance of showing off the beautiful models and animations they've made without obstructing the player's view.
To each their own I guess

I dont deny that they're beautiful but after playing tf2 in forever I've noticed how giant those models are, it kinda looks silly if you imagine yourself from third person because it would look like they're holding their weapon right at their chin all the time.

Speaking about tf2, viewmodel_fov isnt a cheating command and it saves in config forever the value you set.

again doesn't feel oversized to me, but I can understand wanting a bigger viewmodel FOV. apparently not happening though(

Calling it a " pathetic excuse " is stupid.

dude there was a glitch once that made my weapon fov higher and it was alright my hands were not cut like tf2 and it was AWESOME i loved it it was very good i tried it on all the fire bug weapons and they were all ok there were no cut offs n ♥♥♥♥ and i do agree it is a pathetic excuse for them to say it causes problems, for all i know it solved a few i had.
