Black Ops PC: How to Change FOV (Adjust Field of View)
May 11, 2011PC GamingComments (26)
The simplest way to adjust the FOV in Black Ops is to bind it to a key in the config file. This is because certain parts of the game, such as the teleporter in zombie mode, often reset your FOV to the default, and it's very easy to then just hit the hotkey and change it back.
In your config file, which is in the players folder in your Steam/steamapps/common/call of duty black ops/player folder (or in the base game folder/player, if you aren't using Steam), add the following string on its own line somewhere in the binding section:
This binds the key "u" to change your FOV. You can change the key or the FOV amount to whatever you would like. Experiment with different FOV amounts to see what works best for your setup.
If the game resets or removes the line you added, you may have to change the config file to Read-only in Properties.

Thanks! Worked Instantly.
It worked!
In order for it to work in solo and coop, you have to edit both files not just the one (Config) and then (Config_mp). Worked for me on both. This is 9/14/19
It's April 2019 for me right now writing this, for some reason this works for my friend but it doesn't work for me. Does anybody know any fixes?
bind P "SelectStringTableEntryInDvar x x sv_cheats 1; cg_fov 90" works on coop
This works perfectly!!!
This still works as of April 2018, on steam version as well.
This doesn't work on the steam version, only on the older versions.
didnt work
Nick Vogt I meant in co-op zombies
I'm not surprised it doesn't work in MP. The game probably restricts settings you can change to limit competitive advantage.
Doesn't work in Multiplayer?
works like a charm on my mac version.
didnt work...
