Interesting......

Good post with some different views. Worth screwing around with...possibly.

Go to "My documents" and you'll see a folder called "BFBC2". In there you'll see a file called "settings.ini". Right click that and select edit (or open it in notepad) and at the bottom you'll see FOV=55. Change the 55 to whatever you want the FOV to be.

55 FoV = ~80 horizontal FoV
65 FoV = ~90 horizontal FoV
75 FoV = ~100 horizontal FoV
85 FoV = ~110 horizontal FoV
95 FoV = ~120 horizontal FoV

BFBC2 uses vertical FOV, use this FOV Calculator to work out what setting you need for your preferred horizontal FOV.

Definitely worth playing around with

If anyone tries this can you let me know your performance loss?

OK, grassyass

Some good points raised in this thread. The key point is this:

The FOV value in settings.ini is VERTICAL FOV. Use the FOV Calculator to calculate your horizontal FOV. I really like 90 degree horizontal FOV and use that in most of the Source games.
