FOV and Competitive Play

While some players argue for an FOV slider in CS2, Valve has chosen not to include one. This decision helps maintain competitive balance, as extreme FOV settings could provide unfair advantages. Remember, changing your FOV is just one aspect of optimizing your CS2 experience. Combine it with other settings adjustments and practice to elevate your gameplay to the next level.
