The Call of Duty Forums have details on a new patch that's now live in Call of Duty: Black Ops II to address some issues with the Windows edition of the military shooter sequel (thanks Strategy Informer), including the promised FOV increase that was once considered a deal breaker. Here's the change list:

November 21, 2012 Update for Singleplayer, Multiplayer, and Zombies

Max FOV increased to 90

Fix: Horse falling through the world in Afghanistan when playing on some CPUs with 4 or more cores

Fix: RC-XD and the AGR sinking into the map in MP when playing on some CPUs with 4 or more cores

General performance improvements in SP, MP, and ZM for CPUs with 4 or more cores

Fix: crash when a 7th player tries to join a 6 player league lobby

Improved dedicated server matchmaking

Fix: some cases of "Connection Interrupted" in MP while loading into a match

Correct FOV has nothing to do with screen size, but depends on viewer's distance to the screen roughly because of peripheral vision (in addition, some people perceive this differently and might need slight adjustments to not get dizzy).

A good explanation is in this great tutorial video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=blZUao2jTGA

Excellent video...I had a conversation with a level designer talking about how elements of architecture in game space often needed to be "altered" to appear correctly to the human eye, depending on the FOV. This video would have been a great adder to that convo.

Thanks again for that. Bookmarked.
