Call of Duty: SCZ FoV Changer
A non-multiplayer field of view changer for various Call of Duty games.

SCZ stands for: Singleplayer + CO-OP + Zombies

This field of view changer allows you to change the game variables cg_fov (0-360) and cg_fovScale (1.0 - 2.0) easily. These variables can be changed with binds (bind KEY "cg_fov XX") in the single player mode but in co-op they are cheat/write protected. If you use this program, you don't need a console, a bind or even a modded version of the game to change the field of view to your liking. With an optimal field of view you won't experience eye strain, headaches or motion sickness.

It is lightweight and easy to use and has a low impact on the system.
It is also Open Source, so feel free to improve the code!
Supported games
  • Call of Duty: World at War ( singleplayer, co-op, zombies (solo & co-op) )
  • Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 ( singleplayer, special ops (solo & co-op) )
  • Call of Duty: Black Ops 1 ( singleplayer, zombies (solo & co-op) )
  • Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 ( singleplayer, special ops (solo & co-op) )
Requirements
  • Windows Vista or newer
  • .NET Framework 4.5
Anti-Cheat (VAC)
Call of Duty: Black Ops doesn't use VAC in the singleplayer executable, so you should be on the safe side as long as you don't use it when cheat-secured games are running!

Nevertheless I am NOT responsible for any bans or damages! Use at your own risk!
Usage
  • Start the FoV Changer and the game (the order doesn't matter) and choose your desired FoV.
  • Keep it running because the FoV will be resetted in situations like respawns or map changes.
Settings
  • cg_fov: horizontal field of view
  • cg_fovScale: scale applied to cg_fov (this changes the field of view in "Aim Down Sights" too)
  • enable Beep: if checked, beep sounds will be enabled
  • auto start: if checked, the selected CoD will be started automatically
  • auto select CoD on startup: if checked, an active/running CoD will be auto selected if possible on startup

Start options:
You can pass a keyword as a start parameter to the field of view changer to auto select a specific CoD. The program chronologically checks the game titles and executable names for the keyword.

Examples:
CoD.SCZ.FoV.Changer.exe iw4sp
will select "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2"

CoD.SCZ.FoV.Changer.exe "Black Ops"
will select "Call of Duty: Black Ops"

CoD.SCZ.FoV.Changer.exe call
will select "Call of Duty: World at War" because it's the first item in the list

* The check is case-insensitive.

Thanks for the help, some stupid reason using the teleporter on Kino to PaP changes my FOV, and this helped restore it, thanks.

Ik I'm like 5 years late, but anyone who comes to this thread wondering about VAC, VAC only scans for already known cheats. once a cheat is detected by VAC then VAC will ban anyone who uses it. Due to Black Ops 1 being so old you shouldn't have to worry about VAC picking it up as a cheat.

Never, but always check online if its considered cheating by devs or not.

Could it be consider cheating a similar software? (I mean: in general, not only in this case)
