there is a long standing problem in Team Fortress 2 where the default FOV is 75, as it was on the console ports of the Orange Box, and it's believed to turn off a lot of new players and enrage regulars because they just don't see things in the periphery that everyone else playing at the maximum FOV of 90 does.

I find it funny people play on the highest fov in first person shooters to their own detriment.
They think the higher fov is a pure win as it allows them to see more but in reality it is a tradeoff making targets in front of them smaller.
Part of the reason why I don't play many, if at all, modern FPS. Claustrophobic, disorienting, small FOV are something I cannot get used to.
I was fine playing Splatoon and Borderlands (and some other FPS and TPS) but somehow Overwatch made me ill for weeks.
