alt Hacker NewsI find it funny people play on the highest fov in first person shooters to their own detriment.
They think the higher fov is a pure win as it allows them to see more but in reality it is a tradeoff making targets in front of them smaller.

there is a long standing problem in Team Fortress 2 where the default FOV is 75, as it was on the console ports of the Orange Box, and it's believed to turn off a lot of new players and enrage regulars because they just don't see things in the periphery that everyone else playing at the maximum FOV of 90 does.
Part of the reason why I don't play many, if at all, modern FPS. Claustrophobic, disorienting, small FOV are something I cannot get used to.
