Here are the best controller settings for Modern Warfare 2 Season 1 Reloaded, including sensitivity, aim assist, field of view, and more.

Modern Warfare 2 offers plenty of controller customization options to fine-tune your aim assist, sensitivity, and movement. We’ve got the best Modern Warfare 2 controller settings in Season 1 Reloaded.

Season 1 Reloaded of Modern Warfare 2 is finally here, and there is a plethora of brand-new content available in the game, including the classic Shipment map, Chimera Assault Rifle as well as numerous weapon buffs and nerfs.

It’s the perfect time to hop into the game and check out all of this new content. However, playing with poor aim assist settings or sensitivity that is too high can cost you kills and wins. Luckily, Modern Warfare 2 features controller customization for you to take advantage of.

We’ve put together the ultimate guide to the best Modern Warfare 2 controller settings for Season 1 Reloaded.

Sensitivity comes down to preference, but we find 6 to be a good place to start in Modern Warfare 2. As you become more experienced, we advise you to increase this setting to a level that feels comfortable. The higher the sensitivity the faster your turn will be, allowing you to gun players no matter what angle the enemy comes from.

Further, setting your ADS Sensitivity Multiplier just below your Sensitivity will allow you to be more accurate from range when aiming down sights. The higher your base sensitivity, the lower you may want your ADS multiplier.

We also highly recommend the Tactical Button Layout Preset, as this allows you to Slide/Dive or even crouch while keeping your thumb on the right stick to aim, ready for the opponent.

Having your Deadzones as low as possible makes your reaction and fine-aim control much more precise, allowing you to react faster and be more accurate.

Slide Canceling is non-existent in Modern Warfare 2, so you may want to invert the Slide and Dive Behaviour. Diving is highly effective in escaping tough situations and Lethal Equipment thrown by the enemy.

We’ve also set Grounded Mantle to Off, as you don’t want to be mantling when you do not intend to do so.

Of course, you want to ensure your aim assist is turned on when playing Modern Warfare 2, but you can take it a step further by ensuring you’re using the best Aim Assist type. Here’s a breakdown of what each type means:

Focusing will be best for newer shooter players, but you should move away from it as soon as you become more comfortable and the aim assist feels too strong. But if you find Black Ops too sticky, then it’s hard to go wrong with Default.

There’s not much difference between Black Ops and Default aim assist, so it’s worth trying both to see which one is to your liking.

Modern Warfare 2 offers players three types of Aim Response Curve that change how your aim rate responds to your thumbstick movements. Here’s a breakdown of the three types you’ll find in Modern Warfare 2:

When it comes to Aim Response Curve, many Call of Duty players prefer the Standard option as it’ll feel the most natural.

With that said, we recommend Dynamic for those who are comfortable and experienced on the sticks as it allows for much finer control. And we advise that players stay away from Linear entirely.

While it may not be obvious, your Field of View setting will impact your aim and performance on controller just as much as mouse and keyboard.

We recommend setting your FOV to any number between 100 and 115, as this will maximize your ability to see around you and prevent enemies from getting the jump on you. But, it won’t be so high that enemy players become small and hard to track.

Unfortunately, there won’t be a list of settings that work perfectly for everyone, so if you’re looking to find the best controller settings in Modern Warfare 2 for you, it’s as simple as fighting against some low-level bots until you’re comfortable.

We recommend jumping into Farm 18 as you’ll be able to take both close and long-range fights with ease, and then shoot Recruit-level bots while tweaking your settings.

Here’s everything you need to do:

While here, you should also set your Input Deadzone to 0 and keep increasing it until any stick drift is gone.

Well there you have it, that’s our recommendation for Modern Warfare 2’s best controller settings. For more, be sure to check out how to save custom weapon Blueprints and everything you need to know about the Bounty mode.
