Best PC Settings
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare has been out for a few months now, and the endless amount of various settings a PC player can use is vast. So what is the best setting you can use?
Well, that depends on what you want really. Do you like to enjoy high-quality graphics? Or do you play competitively? I like to play competitively and need all the frames and performance I can get out of my hardware. So what are my personal best PC settings to achieve this?

Alright, let’s head into Call of Duty: Modern Warfare’s settings in-game.
In Keyboard & Mouse settings you put into your personal preferences.
General Settings
Set the Field of view to 125, leave the rest to default.

Display Mode – Fullscreen
Display Monitor – Default
Display Adapter – Your graphics card
Screen Refresh Rate – Set it to your monitor’s native refresh rate. Sadly I use a 60Hz monitor, so I’ll set it to 60. But if you have a 144Hz or above I recommend you set it to that.

Sync Every Frame (VSync) – Disabled

Set the Audio Mix on “Home Theater”, leave the rest to default.
I hope you enjoy these settings and do not hesitate to leave a comment if you find an even better way to set up your Call of Duty PC settings.
Best Console Settings
Sadly console players don’t have all of the glory settings the PC player has. But there are a few things console players can adjust to enhance the gameplay and framerate.
If we don’t mention it in this list, leave to default.
Controller
Horizontal and Vertical Stick Sensitivity – Stay between 4-8
Controller vibration – Off
Aim Assist – Precision
Aim Response Curve Type – Dynamic
Movement Slide Behavior – Tap
General Settings
Brightness – Stay on higher than average brightness, adjust the settings on both your monitor and in-game settings to find a solid brightness level.
Film Grain – 0.00
World and Weapon Motion Blur: 0.00 (off)
Audio
I recommend using “Boost High” or “Home Theater”. But most likely this is a more a personal preference.
