Definition

Hor +, or horizontal plus, refers to a behavior specific to certain games that support both 4:3 resolutions and widescreen resolutions. A hor + game is a game that when played on a widescreen monitor with a widescreen resolution, expands the horizontal component of the FOV while keeping the vertical component roughly or exactly the same. This is often considered the ideal solution for widescreen games, as it grants widescreen users a wider picture.

If a game is normally vert - but has a command to increase the overall FOV, the FOV can be manually increased to the point where the vertical component is back to its original state and the horizontal component is increased. However, this is somewhat of a hack, and may result in anomalies.

Examples

Half-Life 2 is a prime example of a hor + game.
