FOV
Use Manhunt2.PluginMH2 mod to change FOV[9]
|
-
fFOVFactor value (by default set to 0.0 ) in the mod's PluginMH2.ini can be changed to adjust the FOV. Values can range from 0.01 to approximately 2.0, where smaller values result in widening the FOV.

Anti-aliasing & ambient occlusion
- Adds a strong form of AA and HBAO+.

Mods
- Raises default 30 fps cap to 60, skips intro video and legal screen and fixes disappearing decals (like brain bits, bullets and arrows) as soon as they hit the ground. All these enhancements are on by default.
- Setting certain values to true in
PluginMH2.ini
allows users to enable many other enhancements: restore rats/cockroaches, disable exploding headshots for all weapons but snipers and shotguns, disable camera shake, unlock all 3 execution levels with firearms, disable execution camera, enable a first person mode and increase FOV.[12]
- After having set
bFirstPersonMode
to true
in PluginMH2.ini
, press T on the keyboard while in-game to activate first person mode.
