I'm wondering if it would be at all possible to bring up the console in Brink.

I'm finding the current FOV (Field of Vision) too narrow and am often flanked by opponents on my periphery that should have been seen.

Is Brink running at less than a 90 degree FOV or something? I realise most console games run narrow FOVs but I'm more accustomed to 90-110 degrees and would like access to a console to remedy this. As it stands, I feel like I'm playing with blinders.

You're not alone, I'm surprised there's no replies yet, but they did say an FOV fix is coming in a patch, thankfully.

ctrl+alt+tilde for console
g_fov (value)
com_allowconsole 1
Now you just have to hit tilde.
