How to change Field of View in COD Modern Warfare 2

Change FOV COD MW2 – In COD MW2, the FOV will depend on your monitor/TV’s aspect ratio and the rendering resolution, and will increase with a wider aspect ratio as you increase the FOV meter in the game settings.

To put it into perspective, if you improve the FOV, you will have a wider aspect ratio, and you will be able to see more enemies, but it will hamper performance; on the other hand, if you lower the FOV, your viewing area will be shortened, but you will have better performance because the screen has to render fewer objects at any given moment of the game. However, you can change the settings if you have different aspect ratio monitors, like Ultrawide. So this article will guide you on how to change the field of view in COD Modern Warfare 2.
