  • Can you increase your field of view in BF2?

    I've been reading some posts (in other threads) that it maybe possible to do this. Although I don't believe it's possible to adjust the in game fog feature.

      go to videio under options and cracnk it up to 100%, other then that I think you certain settings in video set to high will help. All maps are given a "fog", and I think going past the max view and eliminatign this fog is a hack.

          FOV means see wider and higher at any given time
          ans = NO

          but you can (SHOULD) set view distance to 100
          and set geometries to highest ( to see vehicles at max range)

              You might get higher frame rates because the GPU doesn't have to render as much. On the other hand, you won't be able to see as far.

              View Distance tells the computer how much of the map to draw on the screen.


              I got that picture from here.

                Nope. Chaning view distance from 100% down to 60% will only net you about 1 FPS increase in performance.

                There was a way to increase your FOV in BF42, but I'm not sure if it still works.

                In your C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2\mods\bf2\Settings open VideoDefault.con in notepad. Then you'd edit the line:

                renderer.fieldOfView 1

                To get higher FOV you'd set it to 1.2, or some number higher than 1.

                IE:

                renderer.fieldOfView 1.2

                save

                    ^That worked for me once, but that's not the fog distance, that's just FOV. And it looks weird too.
