Matching BF4 FOV with CS:GO FOV

[dahomosapien]

I'm hoping someone here can please help me with this

 

I play BF4 and CS:GO at 16:9 / 1920:1080, and I have matched mouse sensitivities for both games. However, I am not sure which FOV to set in BF4 to make it identical with CS:GO...

 

In BF4, do I set my FOV to: 74 Vertical (90 Horizontal), OR 90 Vertical (106 Horizontal) in order to match it with the CS:GO default FOV?

 

Ultimately, I want my hand 'muscle memory' when playing CS:GO to be identical to BF4, and I know that FOV does effect sensitivity.

 

I'm hoping DPI Wizard or any other wizard/ knowledgeable respondent can please help me

 

Thanks a lot guys!

 

P.S - I have Uniform Soldier Aiming set in BF4 which makes ADS sensitivity identical to hipfire sensitivity for those who were wondering...

74 Vertical (90 Horizontal)

74 Vertical (90 Horizontal)

 

Hey thanks for the reply.

Not to sound rude, but WHY should it be 74 vertical and not 90 vertical in bf4 to match cs:go fov?

If you want the same FOV, you need to match the horizontal values. So it should be like this:

Is it possible in BF4 to get the HFOV to 106.26 if the VFOV is 73.74?

If I move the VFOV to 73.74, it moves the HFOV to 90.

I'm not sure how to make the HFOV 106.26, if the VFOV is 73.74

That is because the HFOV is displaying the 4:3 FOV. If you are using a monitor with widescreen 16:9 resolution, the FOV is expanded to the wider areas, effectively increasing it from 90 to 106.26.

Oh great!!

 

That's awesome man. I knew I'd get the wisdom I needed haha.

 

Thank you

but fov in bf4 is 74 so its not 90, 90 should be 73.74. Before they patched u set horizontal 90 and that was real 90

106.26 for 16:9, 100.39 for 16:10

Just to add my two cents here, if you use 1x sights (not irons) I'd match the fov to those while zoomed, using the scaled settings of course. Just have the hipfire be the same 360 distance. Same thing with irons since they have their own annoying zoom. I tried using monitor distance with iron sights and it felt really really weird.

 

That's how I've done it and it feels super natural.

That is correct.

no bf4 uses vertical fov not horizontal. You have to put 73.74 in the game files to achieve 106.26 horizontal ingame for 16:9

Or just put 74 in the options menue, you can see the horizontal fov right next to it then

This is of course correct if that was the goal
