| Sensitivity | Graphics | Audio |
When it comes to Sensitivity or Sens, it really depends on your input. For Mouse & Keyboard players, having a mid to low sense will be better since it helps with recoil control, especially when spraying across large distances.
However, for controller players (especially in a cross-play title like MW2), a higher sens will be better. Not only does it improve turn rate, but it also helps you go toe-to-toe against M&K players when movements like slides are involved.
| Setting | Recommended |
|---|---|
| Refresh Rate | Set this to 120 Hz for smoother gameplay in both PC & Console. However, you will need a monitor that supports 120 Hz. |
| Field of View (FOV) | Set this higher to see more of the battlefield on your screen. However, do note that this will increase the stress on your hardware (especially on console). |
| Motion Blur | Set this OFF. Motion blur tends to muddy the screen, making it harder to pick out enemies while moving and shooting. |
| On-Demand Texture Streaming (Console only) |
This decides the quality of in-game textures that are downloaded to your console. For better performance and less storage space usage, opt for mid to low settings. |
| V-Sync / FPS Limit (PC only) |
V-Sync helps remedy screen tears and the FPS limit allows you to prioritize performance. You can turn V-Sync off for more frames. |
| Shadow Map Resolution Spot Shadow Quality (PC only) |
Set to LOW for maximum performance. |
| Texture Resolution (PC only) |
Set to LOW for maximum performance. |
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Subtitles | Set this to ON if you find that in-game cutscenes hard to hear or understand. |
| Music Volume | Turn this down if you find it hard to hear in-game sounds like footsteps or callouts. |
| Auto-Connect at Match Start | This allows you to connect to the voice channel of the lobby as soon as the match starts. Switch this off if you plan to use a private channel with friends or if you're using an external voice-chat app. |
| Mute Yourself When Connecting | Set this to ON in order to join the lobby without Open-Mic picking up every word you say. |
| Hit Marker Sound Effects | You can use this to bring back the nostalgic sounds of previous CoD titles. |
Quick Settings is a brand new feature introduced in Call of Duty's newest title, Modern Warfare 2. It allows you to favorite up to 15 different settings from different menus, saving them in a single list for easy access.
This means that you can play around with a list of settings from within a single menu like Screen Resolution, Mouse/Controller Sensitivity, and Audio Volume, as long as you add them to Quick Settings.
