Field of View (FOV) Tweak

Unlike modern Battlefield games, BF2142 doesn’t let you adjust your FOV in-game. Many players find the default field of view too low, so this guide will show you how to change it to whatever you prefer!

1.1

1.5

Before we start ...

• You’ll be editing files in mods/<MOD>/Objects/Soldiers_server.zip, so it’s a good idea to make a backup of the .zip file first — just add a suffix like _bak or _o to the filename of the clone. []

• If you want this change to affect vanilla BF2142, make your edits in the mods/bf2142 folder. Otherwise, edit the files in the mods/<MOD> folder for your chosen mod.

Here we go ...

1. Inside Soldiers_server.zip, open the Common folder and edit the SoldierCamera.tweak file using a text editor. Here are the lines we want to tweak, along with their default values:

ObjectTemplate.worldFOV 1.1
ObjectTemplate.insideFOV 1.1

1. You can set the value as low as 0.65 to mimic BF P4F’s FOV, or as high as 1.85 for an ultra-wide view — but keep in mind, the game doesn’t look great with extreme settings.

• According to illicitSoul on ModDB, a value of 1.1 gives you about 60-65 FOV, while 1.6 is roughly 90-95 FOV. So, a good starting point is by changing 1.1 to 1.5.

1. Save your changes.
