How to permanently widen FOV

[p0lar_bear]

Is there any way to zip all of the maps up that you moded for us to download?

No, since distributing the maps that come on the DVD is an EULA violation and somewhat illegal.

I didn't mean that it's gone :P I'm just asking why H2V is not checking for it :/

Oh i thought you meant CE =P

You don't know how widened FOV looks?

[t3h m00kz]

No I don't, not for H2V But I was really aiming that at the tutorial process and maybe some before/after comparisons

Ah well trying it now, wish me luck that I don't fuck shit up

E: Doesn't work. Exits to UI.

If you haven't been pissed at the game's ridiculous FOV for years, then this MOD isn't for you, don't bother attempting it. The procedure was successful after I installed the game from a fully original DVD and applied the XP patch. It should succeed on any working version of the game however, including Halo1 PC, since only the .MAP files are involved. The modded files weigh-in at over 3GB, so you're much better off doing the mod yourself, successfully.

Eh, I did everything the tutorial said. Twice. Still forced me to exit to the UI whenever I tried to start campaign or multiplayer.

Either way, I can deal with the FOV. I barely play the game as it is because of the horrible fucking hit detection, and if I remember correctly, the game has 70 degrees FOV, which is the same as Halo 1.

Don't get me wrong, it'd be a nice add-on to have, but so far it's been unsuccessful so I can do without.

I'll probably just wait until someone comes out with a FOV Third Person hack that can rival BitterBananna's.

But the game's kinda dead, so I won't count on it.

iirc, there already is FOV and third person stuff for Halo 2 xbox
