So what you're saying is that PC only got one patch for MW2 while consoles got more with needed fixes?

Cause they locked the FOV by design. And using a third-party program to unlock it is considered a hack.

(I do not own MW2, so I'm unsure about this. So correct me if I'm wrong)

When MW2 was release, everyone was able to change their fov however they wanted to with cg_fov <value>. They however patched it and locked it to 65. If they wanted players to change their FOV why did they lock that value?

Yes, I know. I've used it. But they've said that they can ban for it if they decide to.

And I don't want to risk getting banned.

Are they planning on releasing a patch which enables us to change our FOV ingame?

I really can't play the game as it is now for more then 15 minutes without getting headaches and nausea. Having some major trouble focusing my eye's on the screen aswell.

I must say, releasing a PC game with a FOV made for consoles is idiotic. And no, I will not sit further away from my screen just because the developers were lazy, that's just plain stupid. Even if I wanted to, I couldn't since I already have my screen as far back on my desk as I can.

I tried the MW3 FOV Changer in theatre mode and I was able to sit through a whole watching without any problems. But I'm to afraid of using it online.

Thing is, if they are not planning on adding this feature for us. I won't be able to play this game without risking hurting my health and would like a refund.

So, does anyone have an official statement on this?
