A FOV of 55 is awesome when you are sitting back fifteen feet and playing on a 50″ HDTV, however when you’re up close on your PC Monitor you really want and expect to see more. Fortunately for us we can change our FOV settings in the config files for the game! As I instructed in my BFBC2 Tweak Guide you’ll need to open the “settings.ini” file that is located in My Documents/BFBC2 (WinXP) or in Documents/BFBC2 (Windows 7 and Vista).  You’ll want to load the file in your favorite text editor.

Once you have “settings.ini” open you’ll want to scroll down to what should be the last line and change the following line to your liking. I personally prefer a setting of 70, however change it to your liking! As always, before you change any settings always back up!

FOV=55

Below are a couple of screen shots showing a FOV of 55 on the left and 75 on the right.

Update 3-5-10
BFBC2’s FOV setting is the vertical field of view.  Normally when referring to FOV in gaming we are referring to the horizontal field of view.  So to get the correct FOV setting use this nifty BFBC2 FOV Calculator.  Enter your resolution and your desired horizontal FOV and it will give you the correct FOV to enter into your settings.ini.
