I know that I can kind of adjust my field of view by switching from a 4:3 resolution to a 16:10 or 16:9 resolution. Is there any way that I can just set the field of view to the maximum allowable width?

I know that the source engine allows a settable parameter for the field of view, but I'm not sure how to expose it. I know that some source games allow up to 90 degrees, but I'd bet it's configurable for all source games, but I'm not sure how high it goes. – McKay Jul 26 '10 at 20:00

According to this question on "Team Fortress 2 Fort":

It's in the Multiplayer tab of the options window

It now appears to be limited to 70 degrees for TF2, much to my annoyance (I play on a triple monitor setup with 15:4 aspect ratio, and everything is severely distorted at the edges of the screen).

To set your field of view set to 90, in the type console fov_desired 90. You can only go between 75 and 90, anything above 90 is considered cheating.
