Viewsize
Hi, this may not be realated to the new update, but since you guys are coding, I thought I should give it a try... The thing is that the rumors around this CVar are endless, so I think you guys should just do a quick check and maybe give a definitive note explaining if it does or does not have effect when using OpenGL, even though elxdraco says it only have effect under software mode... just a thought, thanks.
*Note: I do not believe it makes me shot miraculous bullets as some players, just to clear it out.
Just wondering, isn't viewsize actually Field of View for Software Mode? I would definitely want to see a FoV cvar for OpenGL.
The field of view shouldn't be accesible by client-side because it can be used as a cheat.
How so? Field of view is an option in so many games, and Counter-Strike shouldn't be an exception. It's especially helpful for those who got widescreen, so they don't get that "seasick" feeling.

@di57inct Ah, right; forgot about that one. This is something that should be fixed anyway.
The thing to do would be to adjust the FOV like source does to match the aspect ratio of the resolution.
4:3 = 90, 16:10 = 100, 16:9 = 105.
The reason why everyone feels sick is that the FOV doesn't adjust this and at the popular 16:9 resolution, its more like 75.
viewsize works only in Software and that's how it works
viewsize 30 and below 30
viewsize 60
viewsize 90
viewsize 120 and above 120
nothing else
I should add that in HL25 with software renderer there is no UI for completely working viewsize.
It was in older WON launcher but in current version it's missing, leading to weird black bars for players who don't know what viewsize is.
