  4. Adjust the slider to your preferred FOV.

Since the default FOV may prevent you from seeing enemies/objects, you can define the height and width of your screen to get a better view of your surroundings. Moreover, you can press the ‘Show More’ selection to change the ADS Field of View and Weapon Field of View.

In the ADS Field of View, you can choose Affected or Independent, which can alter the zoom-in feature while you hold a weapon. You can also modify the appearance of your gun on the screen by reworking your Weapon Field of View in the settings. However, players should be aware that a higher FOV can result in a lower frame rate, making it harder to locate enemies during each match.

With this in mind, it’s recommended to try out various options in order to get the desired in-game view for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. In addition to the Field of View, you can look at other selections, such as Motion Blur, Refresh Rate, and On-Demand Texture Streaming.

Now that you know how to change the FOV in Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2, you can see which adjustments are the best for you.
