It was quite a happening day for Call of Duty fans as Warzone 2 and Modern Warfare 2 were announced which is built on a new engine.

Here is What is FOV Slider in Warzone

Well for starters, the FOV slider basically allows you to change your FOV. Yes, it is that simple. FOV is the field of view, which basically determines how much of the screen you actually see in the game. A higher FOV means you will be seeing a lot more of what’s happening around you. Ideally, that would mean that you should keep the FOV at the highest available setting. But it isn’t that straightforward.

If you increase your FOV too much, things will start becoming distorted. You will have something called a fish-eye effect which will prevent you from seeing the enemies and surroundings properly. This could hamper the entire experience to quite an extent, so players don’t usually have it on max. Instead, they use a value around 105 which is quite well suited.

Why Will FOV Slider Not Come to Consoles

In the announcement about the future plans of Warzone, the developers have confirmed that the FOV slider will never be added to Warzone on consoles. Yes, you heard that right. If you have been playing the game for a while, you might be well aware of the debate around it. For the uninitiated, console players have a fixed FOV 80 and they can’t change it at all. The reason? Hardware restrictions.

Now, the developers have stated that they are just not confident of achieving good frame rates on last-gen consoles while adding a FOV slider. They go on to say that it will pretty much become a slider to decrease the frame rate. Now the hardware restrictions of last-gen consoles are something that can’t be overcome, so they have decided to skip it altogether. They go on to say that they don’t want to increase the skill gap by only adding it to current gen consoles, and that does make a lot of sense. Well, it seems like Warzone console players will need to play on 80 FOV only.
