@ -12,12 +12,16 @@ Here's a list of things that we'd fix in Half-Life, given the opportunity.
We need this really bad. Anyone with 4K screens is having a hard time reading anything.
[You can see demand easily by looking at this addon.](https://gamebanana.com/mods/24741)
## Quality of Life: Different fov calculation modes

> "Where is my gun? Oh. It's mostly off-screen."
The standard fov mode which highly detests widescreen resolutions. [People have made](https://gamebanana.com/mods/227021) entire modelpacks to [fix viewmodels to look right in widescreen](https://gamebanana.com/mods/232432). **This is silly** and should be replaced by a calculation that is based around a 4:3 horizontal axis projection with padding. You'll find those in custom Quake engines like QuakeSpasm and [FTEQW](https://code.idtech.space/fte/fteqw/src/commit/0eeb410ce074b19cffa70049820df14773d7ec5b/engine/client/view.c#L1259) (cvar: scr_fov_mode 4)

Support them all if you must.
