Unlocking UDK Console

Go to "<steam folder>\steamapps\common\qube\Engine\Config".
Open "BaseInput.ini" in Notepad.
Remove the semicolon from "ConsoleKey=Tilde" line, just like this:
[Engine.Console] ConsoleKey=Tilde

Disable mouse smoothing

Go to "<steam folder>\steamapps\common\qube\Engine\Config".
Open "BaseInput.ini" in Notepad.
Change "bEnableMouseSmoothing" to "false", just like this:
[Engine.PlayerInput] bEnableMouseSmoothing=false

Note that changing "MouseSensitivity" in this file has no effect.

Removing FPS cap

Go to "<steam folder>\steamapps\common\qube\Engine\Config".
Open "BaseEngine.ini" in Notepad.
Change "bSmoothFrameRate" to "FALSE", just like this:
[Engine.Engine] <lots of lines here> bSmoothFrameRate=FALSE

Alternatively, you may also change the default "MinSmoothedFrameRate=22" and "MaxSmoothedFrameRate=62".

Changing FOV

Make sure you have enabled the console in BaseInput.ini file. If you haven't, please follow the instructions above.
When inside the game, press tilde key (~).
Type "FOV 120". The default seems to be 90.

Changing keyboard controls

Go to "<steam folder>\steamapps\common\qube\UDKGame\Config".
Open "UDKGame.ini" in Notepad.
Change the following lines, near the end of the file:
[UTGame.UTPlayerInput] Bindings=(Name="SpaceBar",Command="GBA_Jump", ... Bindings=(Name="W",Command="GBA_MoveForward", ... Bindings=(Name="S",Command="GBA_Backward", ... Bindings=(Name="A",Command="GBA_StrafeLeft", ... Bindings=(Name="D",Command="GBA_StrafeRight", ...

On the planar projection we use in most 3D graphics, we can't set the FOV too high. As it gets closer to 180 degrees, some of the values in the calculations approach infinity. Thus, it makes sense the engine limits the maximum FOV you can set.

If you still want a higher FOV, then you need another projection. Take a look at something called "fisheye quake", which is a project where someone implemented alternative projections, such as fisheye or cylindrical.

All FOVs beyond 165 look the same

And for the love of goodness disable Depth of Field! It's one of the biggest FPS hogs. :)

Yeah, I know this guide is quite a few years old by now, but I wanted to say thanks. I love this game to death and every once in a while I pick it back up to relax. My gaming laptop came out years after this game did and FPS would still chug unless I played in a small window - all I had to do was unlock the FPS as per this guide and the game plays GREAT in Fullscreen now! :)

Thanks for this. Nice game, but I kept getting queasy with the narrow FOV.

Note for people with UK keyboards: I found the key to open the console is the ' key (with the @ symbol on it, near ENTER).
