Does anyone play with a fov setting (cg_fov) of more than the default?  And
if so, how long does it take to get used to it?  What about the problem of
objects in the distance?  tia -

I used 110 for a long time, but lately have been using 95. The main advantage  
of a larger FOV, is that you can see a lot more. The main advantages of a 
smaller FOV, is that things are a little bigger, and everything seems to slow  
down, and predicting movement becomes a little easier.

Lots of good players I know are using 110 and even 120.

So i am noticing!  Good players down here use just that...110 or 120... of
course by good players I mean the good ones that I have talked to.  I am
finding it slow to get used to 100 - but the game does seem* to move faster.
Thanks mate.

I play at fov 120, but I have a script so that if I press the railgun
key twice, it goes to 70.  Then it automatically zooms back out when I
switch to another weapons.  I really like it.  I still have the regular
zoom when I need to see something, but this "half zoom" is nice

Wow - now theres a good idea.  Any chance of getting a copy of the script?
I already use a script to swap between rail and the next highest weapon -
and its nice to have.... except in R&R -  ;)
