If everybody can change it, how is it an "advantage over others"??

Well, first of all, not all people know how to do it. A few patches back(now it's not possible) there was a way to change FOV via ini files editing. Some people know how to do it(cuz it's simple). Others... Not so much. Yes, there are people who don't know how to do basic PC stuff, imagine that. Oh, and there was also a way to turn off trees and grass completely back then, so...

Second, when there will be a FOV slider, it will be tottaly useless. Due to the fact that it will be easily accessed in the game's options, everyone would just set it to max. So people will still be on equal ground... So why even add the option of having lower, if everyone will max it ANYWAY? And why even change it from what we have now? I think current FOV is quite good. The 3rd person anyway, 1st person fov indeed needs a slight tweak.

See my point..?

So you agree with me, eventhough you just said otherwise to another guy....
Just because you like, other people may not tweek it?

I never said anything about the ini files. I was talking about a possible ingame FOV sliders.
YOU said that it was an advantage over others, and now you are crawling back, because you were wrong

So in other words you completely missed his point. Well... try it again.

Wasn't I speaking english or you just don't know how to read..? Or pehaps you just don't see any other options/opinions except your's? That's not a new trend, dude, believe me... It was since the beginning of humanity.

Third person fov is fine. making first person have like 90-100 would just make it so nice though.

Every game out there has a FOV adjustment (3rd person or 1st person) with a slider from 75 to 110/120, why this game should be different?
Making it configurable will please anyone: if you like to see more zoomed for a better aim distance, you will set it low; if you life to have it more wider for a larger view or because of motion sickness you will set it higher.

I don't understand those people which are against the freedom of having a personal preference, if I like a smaller or larger FOV it's my decision, nor yours.

"Every game"... Sure. EVERY game, yeah... Right.

Thanks for another minute of smiling and laughing. "Motion sickness" because of low FOV, yes. It's just as real as a "gaming laptop".

You know why they added forced grass/shadows to the game in the last patch? To put people on equal ground. For people to have equal opportunities in the game. When everyone gets equal "tools"(so to speak) - all that counts is the skill. When some people get some advantage/handicap - it's NOT equality. It's ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. Same applies to FOV. It should stay exact number for each and every person out there, no adjustment, no slider.

Wow you just disprove your own argument here . Is about equal opportunities, everyone has the choice of their preffered fov, best suited for their needs and setup.

You have just no argument.
Dont feed the trolls.

Fov will come back and I cant wait for it.

It's a standard for fps, including DayZ and Arma, that are much more "simulation value" than this game.. and they have the FOV adjustment.

This is a naive reasoning, because ironically it put the low-spec PC's in a big disadvantage, while ppl with 1080 aren't suffering much the change.
They should have optimized the game before enforcing an option that would cause a huge fps drop to the average player.

For this reason the game experience on PC it will never been unified: there will be always people with better hardware that will have an advantage. This is not the consoles world.

It's not, it's a trade: smaller FOV = more zoomed, you can spot distant enemies better; wider FOV = more area view, you can scout more enemies around you, but it will be more hard to spot and shot distant targets.

Putting -sm4 in your command line, will give you a much bigger advantage than anything actually "locked" in the game, so don't play the excuse of the "unified experience" applied to the FOV, because it's not. It's a standard that this game lacks of.

not yet, but show a screenshot, is it actually low?

way to low for me

Yeah no you guys are the reason why they don't just add it in right away. How does gaining an advantage help in the game development process but telling them to remove it from the real game?
EDIT: the fov is perfectly fine for third person however first person could actually use a tweak.

[Stolzee]

Does fov even give you an advantage? No...Good Night
