call of duty: modern warfare 2

Single-monitor FOV seems the same as the original game to me... a little tight, but very playable.

According to players on another forum (sorry, can't remember which one right now...been reading a lot of MW2 stuff recently), the CoD series standard FOV was 80 for PC. Even that would seems tight to me, so 65 can't be too awesome.

Resized a screenshot on the previous page to get a sample. I can't tell by that what the exact FOV is, but it does feel cramped.

As DaFox mentioned, any hack would likely be in serious VAC danger for MP. Does all MP run through IW.net and VAC? Even LAN play?

And it just occurs to me that as MW2 is launching I've been doing some L4D2 modding.

Irony. Nice. 8)

Well, I am not a person uber-sensitive to FOV, only two or three games have EVER bothered me with their FOV, Turok and Borderlands being the only two I can think of now. So I am not a good judge of whether it is bad or not.

I was just meaning to say it looks the same as the original game to me, which was a little tight but very playable... this seems the same. To me, anyway.

ok ok so back to the reason for this thread :wink:

I'm DYING to play this in multi-mon, is the main problem that we need a seperate FOV hack program written?

Tweaking .ini's and such doesnt do the trick on COD games correct?

Most likely, yes.

Fully understand. Sometimes the same FOV can feel different to me from one game to the next. In general, though, I like 130+. :wink: (or 85+ if I'm stuck on a single screen)

I would be very wary of using a hack even in singleplayer, with a VAC ban looming over your head.

If I had thought about the VAC problem, I would not have brought it to be honest. Or at leasst I would have waited until it was confirmed OK. I just thought, 'hey DF will be able to add a WSF relatively easy and we would be off in TH', like 4 and WaW... Oh well.

i got triplehead working, its very easy actaully, just memory edit the aspect ratio values.

i'm sure someone will come up with a easy patching solution, i only have veyr limited patch making skills... i'll see what i can do though.

here are some screens:

Hor+ , yay!

btw, is MSAA for this game not working for the alpha textures (eg. tarps), even if i set 8x for AA, i get major jaggies for those textures..

i dont want to use supersampling

Umm there are no screenies!

..and how did VAC react to you mem modding?

fuc847 · Post by **fuc847** » 11 Nov 2009, 01:45

sorry screens here:

as you can see, the HUD/interface/movies are squished.

Looks great, can you please explain how to adjust the AR values ? :?:

i took a few mins to make a patch file, i hope it works !

just open up the game , alt tab and run this file and press F1 so that the option is RED. then go back to game and change a res

it will force ur aspect ratio to be 3 no matter what you choose.

Dopefish should be able to whip up something if he has the game.

Looks great, can you please explain how to adjust the AR values ?

Someone mentioned an auto-aspect ratio option. If it allows you to select different aspect ratios like 4:3 and 16:10 it may be possible that the value can simply be changed in a config somewhere.

Otherwise you could look at the game process when it is running and overwrite the aspect ratio value.

I don't have the game sorry.

Great, could you make a 4.8 version for WTH users ? :wink:

Works about right, need to play with the AR to get it how I like it but great!

I know I am being cheeky but any chance for an MP version?

Even if someone releases one, stay the heck away from it.
