First method (the simple one)
The first method is really simple, but not really usefull.

1. Go to Options > Game options > Enable Console
Make sure that its on YES.

2. Press the tilde key of your keyboard
.









3.Then you just need to write this command and press enter:
/cg_fov 80





And it's done !
Second Method (the best one)
First of all you need to have a developping program called Notepad++
Its free: http://notepad-plus-plus.org/
Click on the download button on the left.
*This method works on CoD WaW (Thanks to PenguinGaming77 !)


1. Go in Program Files (x86) > Steam > Steamapps > common > Call of Duty 4
Then you need to edit the iw3mp file with Notepad++

2. When Notepad++ will be open, press CTRL+F to search something.

3.Search for sv_cheats

4.Change sv_cheats for sj_cheats

5. Open your game

6. Enter this command into the console





7.When the map is loaded, enter this command:
/bind F1 cg_fovScale 1.4
F1: can be replace with any other keys
1.4: Can be replace with any values between 1.1 and 2

Also, you can put fullbright to get better performance and higher fps
/bind F1 toggle r_fullbright 1

N.B.: The binds will only work if you Devmap mp_bog each time you open the game. But you dont need to rebind it everytime.

Here is a comparison of the normal FoV and the modified FoV (cg_fovScale 1.5)

Normal FoV:










Modified FoV:
Useful command
There's a command that change the position of the gun and you can do it in some servers.

*You don't need Notepad++ to do this*

Just write: /cg_gun_x_10
The number 10 can be replaced by any value

Normal position:











Modified position:











*This method won't change your FoV*
Thank you !

oh "/cg_gun_x_10" doesn't do anything. do I need sv_cheats set to 1?

Hi!
Problem:
Changing sv_cheats to sj_cheats => after starting iw3mp.exe (Multiplayer) the change has gone and sv_cheats is in the edited iw3mp.exe again.
Do you know what I do wrong?
Please help. Best regards.

they fixed this, when you launch the exe with the modified code it makes refreshes to the before modified code.

Whack.
