cg_fov 90
cg_zoomfov 40

ownage!

what is your fov value and zoomfov settings ?

*EDIT* i'm back to fov 100 zoomfov 50, 90 is a bit to extreme for me i think :p *EDIT*

*EDIT 2* i'm back to fov 90 zoomfov 40 :p, made 2 binds to switch fovs, will take some time to decide which is better between 90 and 100 :D *EDIT 2*

my cfg at my ESR profile (with screenshot)

oooo-

I always liked using fov 95 when using aspect ratio 4:3.

I often hear people saying that you will have better rockets if you use high fov but I've noticed that for me it's totally the opposite way.

p.s. zoom is for fagets

My rockets are much better at 110-120 personally, as well as my movement. I can't rail for shit above 100 though. :(

I don't use 50 too often I like 70 because it works for rockets and LG and deals with most railing situations.

Heartlesss - Reply to #45

zoom is very important actually. It makes your long range rail shots a bit more accurate.

ofc you don't have to use it everytime for sometimes it helps really :)

<< Comment #46 @ 01:33 CDT, 16 June 2014 >>

CENEk

The thing you have to know is, never take cfg advice from Heartless. One day he's found the perfect config forever and the next he's changed to something completely different, like fov, enemymodel, drawgun, crosshair and a new sens. And the next day it's back to the old or maybe something entirely different again \:D/

however regarding my sens, i haven't changed it for months now :) maybe like 5-6 months. Still 23.5cm/360� (sens 1 ingame at 1800dpi 1000hz)

By

Heartlesss - Reply to #50

zoomfov 22 is too low!

maybe if you play infected redrover at silentfright only it can be useful but even for that you don't need such low zoomfov in fact. Simply because you only have an MG and SG :D

<< Comment #56 @ 12:05 CDT, 17 June 2014 >>

I'd prolly run around with 80 fov too if I was doing that.

<< Comment #57 @ 12:44 CDT, 17 June 2014 >>

By

Tebeg - Reply to #54

I might make it 30, but not higher. I actually use it only for long range rails. I got really used to it, it's probably a default zoomfov. I love hitting rails on chemical reaction with it :D
