how ???

ok so firstly look at the crappy/normal doom fov, its HORRIBLE AHHH

honestly its meh but after a while it may start to annoy you (it did with me)

...now take a look at this

the trick is simple, put this piece of code into the launch options of DOOM 3 via right clicking the exe, hitting properties then click set launch options

THE FOV FIX >>>> +set g_fov 120

aaaand thats it, your fov will look just like mine if anyone wants help ADD ME anyways enjoy the fix lads and lassies

see the problem with having G_Fov at 110+ you'll see rather strange oddities, like the stock on the machine gun not being in sync with the front half of the weapon, the pistol will have a floating hand in the bottom left for when you go to reload, id didn't care about removing the unused hand because it was off screen. the bfg model was never finished so it will kind of float there among other things, as for the other weapons... they look good ;]

you can also mess with the following commands to get interesting results
G_GunX
G_GunY
G_GunZ

In example for G_GunY; Positive numbers will move the gun ← negative numbers will move the gun →
gun x will move the model forward / backward, and finally z will raise or lower your gun

Hmm ... would have been better to use the same mage throughout before/after.

120 is for baddies. 100 is for pros. 90 is for blind.

How tf do you play with a 120 FOV? Everything is warped and screwy. 90 is perfectly fine.

@mental paradox
with all due Cordial Respect, hyperactive shooters are not zoomer shooters, they are boomershooters. you have examples of Doom, Quake 1 and Quake 3 Arena (Live)

Mental Paradox 13 Sep, 2022 @ 8:10pm

Nah... DOOM 3 isn't *supposed* to be some hyperactive zoomer-shooter where you're running around the map at 150 MPH with the FOV set to 120°. The smaller FOV makes perfect sense given the game's focus on horror, and the pace of its gameplay (slow to modern standards).

@TwistX o7 that would be much appreciated.
