Messed around with it a little earlier. Seems to also knocks your aiming out, as if your sensitivity is effected. Presumably because the scale of the visuals alters when you adjust the field of view. I’ve knocked it up a touch above default. Seems ok. I’ll mess with it more tomorrow and maybe work up the adjustment gradually. I couldn’t notice a great deal, but as I say, I’ve only adjusted it slightly for now. ---

Im thinking it would affect muscle memory and the data that your eyes send to the brain.ingame sensitivity will be the same. Sounds like a move for the better though and seeing more of the field is definatly a plus,personally I would and may adjust it in smaller increments. ---

Yes, that’s my thinking too. I’ll be doing the same and seeing how I get on. ---

I never even bothered to think to adjust the FOV settings, after reading this thread yesterday I tried it last night.. First I put it up max (120 horizontal) and it was really good at first when I played TDM on Argonne Forest, but then when Sinai Desert came up everything looked too small cos that maps so open, so I changed it to 80 and for me 80 seems perfect on all maps. I also have the ADS Field of View set to off so when I zoom in the targets are still of a large size. Works well. ---

> [@creepNpeep](#): > > Yo, > > So what does this setting adjust exactly? One way I know how to describe what it does is, if you remember older games like metal gear solid, the enemy would have a cone to show you what they’re seeing, if you were to make their FoV higher, the cone would get wider so that means he sees more. A problem with changing your FoV, textures don’t load when they should for example if you were looking at a tree from a distance it might look like it doesn’t have any leaves on it but when you get closer all of a sudden leaves would appear. That why the settings say performance may be affected. [Previous page](https://battlefieldforum.co/t/field-of-view-settings/103992.md?page=1)
