The best PC settings for Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3

For those looking for how to access the settings section on Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3, simply go to the game's main menu. There, click on the drop-down menu at the top right of the screen and select the option “ Settings ”. In the submenu that appears, select “ Quick Settings ”.

Note that we are not going to touch mouse or controller sensitivity, these elements are quite personal and should vary over time. In addition, each model has its own options, offering you an adjustment would be proof of incompetence. The only point of customization of the controls that we recommend is to place the crouch/slide on CRTL, making the slide cancel sprint easier.

Important: these settings are oriented towards the vision of the game, the fluidity, and the efficiency of the game, not the quality of the graphics. The more additional effects there are on screen, the worse your vision of important movements and enemies will be. Even with a large configuration, we recommend that you reduce the graphics quality as listed below to gain efficiency.

They are inspired by the recommendations of some of the top competitive players on PC, including Strahfe .
