How to change FOV

[itz me_]

How do I change the FOV in Steam MW2? I want a more zoomed out view, sort of promod style.

and enjoy it!

wont work .. it'll reset ur bind

are u sure u did it in config_map ?
maybe there is 2 config file try agin it works for me

[D':]

bind w "+forward; cg_fov 80"

There you go, oh and set your config_mp to "Read-only" when you've done that. That way it won't be resetted.

Where do I put this?

Where do I put this?

in your config_mp.cfg ( open it with notepad )

than add a line with that or ( if this works )

bind B seta cg_fov "80" or bind B cg_fov 80

then go ingame and press B and your fov will change to 80

so do I just put the line at the beginning or where?

Edit: Just stuck it at the beginning where the binds start. I'll try it out and let you guys know how it goes.

Didn't work.

easyer way turn on game go on to a server.
Alt+tab out Go to console(will only work on alteriwnet version)
and type this set cg_fov 80.
If you want to do this on steam just unlock the console and type the same.

Go to your players folder. Go to config_mp. Open with notepad. Press Ctrl F and type seta cg_fov, press Find. Then change the "65" to "80" or "85". And if you need to. Go to the config_mp properties, and check read-only.

When I search that it comes up with nothing.

When I search that it comes up with nothing.

Make sure that you're at the VERY beginning of it. Not sure if it's Alter only, but in the very beginning it has the "// generated". Make sure that you're right behind that the //. And when you press Ctrl F, make sure that your direction is Down, not Up.
