The scale is consistent for all images in the guide I did it so that the scale at the center of each image is the same, all scaled so that the middle 70 degrees of any wide image will take up the middle 300 horizontal pixels of that image. Below the list of FoV's for each game, I provide a scaled image for each FoV, to show the effective size of the 'viewing window' for that setting in a visual way. For each view, a FoV is listed along with the aspect ratio of the view.

Note that my results are approximations, made by rotating the player in-game, but I expect they're all accurate to within a couple degrees. So I decided to run some measurements, and determine the FoV for all single-player and two-player views in all Halo console FPS titles.

It sometimes comes up in Halo discussions, but people rarely know exactly what the fields of view in the games they're discussing are. Usually, in the gaming community, FoV is used to describe only the amount of horizontal vision. It is an important detail when discussing first-person shooters because it describes, effectively, how much 'peripheral vision' a player has in-game. Ten Years of Halo: Ten Years of FoVs *IMGs*įield of view (FoV) is a measure of the angular area you can see.
