When I first launched Call of Duty: Warzone on PC, the very first place I went was settings. Before I'd even fired my first shot, I cranked up the field-of-view (FOV) to 100 so I could figuratively unzoom my eyeballs and see more around me. It's a setting that has undeniably helped me win fights in Warzone, and one that console players have been locked out of since the game launched.In the loudest corners of Warzone's community of millions, console players have been asking for an FOV slider (they're locked to 80 degrees FOV) so they can be on equal footing with the PC (which can go as high as 120 degrees). Developer Raven Software has routinely avoided the topic in favor of more pressing issues, like Warzone's cheating problem.Hope for the setting was reignited when Call of Duty: Vanguard, which is built on the same engine as Warzone, launched with an FOV slider on PlayStation and Xbox. Without an official comment from Raven, players assumed that if it was coming anytime soon, it'd be in this week's massive Warzone Pacific update that integrated Vanguard's progression and guns into the game. When the update came and an FOV option didn't materialize, a renewed outcry poured onto Call of Duty's social channels. Warzone's subreddit has been spammed with dozens of new FOV posts in the last few days and it's a common reply in Call of Duty's Twitter mentions as well. »After playing Vanguard on Series X on 115 FOV it is actually hilarious to go into Warzone, » wrote Reddit user kyledoesthereddit319. « I’m honestly just mad that I was playing Warzone like this before and not even aware of the disadvantage. BRB dropping $2,000 on a PC to be able to play a free game. »Players shared similar sentiments in an FOV thread with over 1,000 comments. « It's not even about it being unfair. Going from 120 FOV on Vanguard to 80 on Warzone is just nauseating, » wrote GorshGuy.
