Modern Warfare 4 Season 1 Settings Guide

The video recommends controller, graphics, audio, and interface tweaks intended to improve aiming, movement, visibility, and awareness. The presenter advises sticking with a sensitivity setup long enough to get used to it, and checking settings every few weeks in case updates change them.

Controller and Aiming

  • Keep the button and stick layout standard.
  • Set horizontal and vertical sensitivity to 1.65 and the aim sensitivity multiplier to 0.65.
  • Turn controller vibration off.
  • For sticks with little drift:
    • Left-stick deadzone: minimum 2, maximum 65
    • Right-stick deadzone: minimum 2, maximum 99
  • Reduce the L2/R2 trigger deadzones to make the triggers more responsive.
  • Use a gradual aim transition, a Dynamic response curve, and a 0.80 tilt scale.
  • Keep aim assist on and turn FOV sensitivity scaling off.

Movement and Combat

  • Enable sprint assistance. Choose the tactical-sprint option if you use tactical sprint.
  • Keep corner-cutting assistance on.
  • In multiplayer, use the slide-focused option. Use Hybrid in Warzone or DMZ if you want to retain diving.
  • Enable sprint recovery and automatic mantling/climbing.
  • If you use tactical sprint, set it to activate with one stick press.
  • Set melee weapon activation to the attack button for faster access.

Graphics and View

  • Enable 120 Hz/performance mode if your display supports it.
  • On console, choose Efficiency power mode, especially if overheating is a concern.
  • Turn off motion blur, film grain, and depth of field.
  • Enable Fidelity CAS and set its strength to 80.
  • Set details and textures to Optimized, cache size to Large, and remove loading restrictions.
  • Set FOV to 115, ADS field of view to Unaffected, and third-person FOV to 90.
  • Set first- and third-person camera movement to 25% to reduce shake.

Audio and Interface

  • Lower or turn off music and other unnecessary volume so gameplay sounds stand out.
  • Choose the Headphones audio mix to help distinguish the direction of footsteps.
  • For brighter colors, select color filter 2 and apply it to gameplay and the interface:
    • World color: 90
    • Interface color: 70
  • Make the HUD safe zone as small as possible, and turn off HUD widget shaking if it’s distracting.
  • Use a square, rotating minimap. Turn off the radar toggle and compass if you don’t use them.
  • Enable full player names to make opponents easier to identify, including in obscured areas.
  • Enable sight lines and the center dot. Set the dot to Larger, transparency to 100, and use the greenish color code 19FF00. Apply the color for it to take effect.
  • Keep hit visual effects and damage-based hit markers enabled.

PlayStation Edge Controller Profile

  • Map the right rear paddle to X for jumping and the other rear paddle to Circle for sliding, so you can perform actions without removing a thumb from the stick.
  • For TMR sticks, use Fast mode on the left stick and leave its deadzone and response curve unchanged. Leave the right stick standard.
  • Set both trigger ranges from 0 to 30 and turn off vibration intensity and trigger effects.
