Well, you have to take into account the full zoom ability while spotting, which you can do while looking around. Obviously they had to make the overall resolution of objects farther away smaller in order to keep a wide perspective. I may be wrong but I also believe the game employs some degree of 'fish eye' although I could be wrong. I have played with this in other games and find it reduces the overall detail of everything while allowing you to see more. Perhaps thats a factor as well.
