The best Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II console settings | Digital trends
While pure skill is king in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, having the right settings can definitely improve your performance. Tinkering with settings is part of the Modern Warfare II experience, but as with most things in the series, there are an overwhelming number of options to choose from.
We spent a considerable amount of time with multiplayer and tweaked our settings to optimize performance. In this guide, we’ll show you the best game settings for multiplayer, but keep in mind that many of these options come down to personal preference. Yet some are objectively better than others. Additionally, Infinity Ward will likely add new settings or change how some current settings work.
