Call of Duty games have evolved over the years, and one noticeable change is the introduction of ADS Field of View (FOV) settings. This customization option allows players to adjust their FOV while aiming down sights, leading to improved target acquisition and tracking. To optimize your gameplay experience, there are three factors to consider: the overall FOV setting, the ADS FOV setting, and personal preference.
When it comes to the basic FOV setting, it is recommended to avoid sticking to the default value of 80. This value limits your field of vision, causing tunnel vision. Increasing the FOV allows you to see more of your surroundings and perceive faster movement, but objects in the distance may appear smaller. While content creators often use an FOV of 120, a range of 95 and above is considered viable. In Warzone, players tend to use higher FOV settings compared to Modern Warfare 2.
Finding your optimal FOV depends on factors such as the distance between your eyes and the screen. A higher FOV may make it harder to spot enemies for those sitting farther away from the monitor. Additionally, your play style matters. If you prefer long-range engagements with assault rifles, a lower FOV may be suitable. On the other hand, players who engage in fast-paced close-quarters combat with SMGs may benefit from a higher FOV.
The ADS FOV setting provides two options: “affected” and “independent.” Generally, “affected” feels more natural as it zooms in less while aiming. “Independent” is a compromise for players who want a higher FOV to have better awareness while not aiming, but still want distant enemies to appear larger when scoping. However, note that the “independent” setting transitions your non-ADS FOV value to 80 when scoped, which may not feel as smooth as the alternative.
In conclusion, customizing your FOV and ADS FOV settings can greatly enhance your gameplay experience in Call of Duty: MW2 and Warzone. Find the FOV range that suits your play style and monitor distance, and experiment with the ADS FOV options to strike a balance between peripheral vision and zoom. Enjoy a more immersive and effective gaming experience with tailored FOV settings.
