When fine-tuning your Modern Warfare 2 settings, choosing the right Aim Assist type is crucial for optimizing targeting efficiency.

Default

Traditional aim slowdown near the target, consistent with Modern Warfare games.

Precision

Robust aim slowdown is activated when aiming closer to the target, ideal for precision-focused players.

Focusing

Intense aim slowdown triggered when narrowly missing the target, recommended for players new to analog aiming.

Black Ops

The classic aim slows, similar to Black Ops games, as it approaches the target.

Choosing the Best

While Focusing suits beginners, experienced players may prefer Precision or Default for a balanced feel. You can get a competitive edge by experimenting with Black Ops and Default to find the best Aim Assist for your aiming style.

In Modern Warfare 2, mastering your Aim Response Curve is pivotal for precise aiming. The game provides three distinct types, influencing how your aim rate corresponds to thumbstick movements.

  • Standard: Features a simple power curve map from aim stick to aim rate.
  • Linear: Direct mapping of aim stick movements to aim rate.
  • Dynamic: Utilizes a reverse S-curve mapping for nuanced fine aim rate control.

Choosing the Optimal Curve

While preferences may vary, many Call of Duty players lean towards the Standard option, appreciating its natural feel. Experimentation is key, but starting with Standard often provides a balanced and intuitive aiming experience in Modern Warfare 2.
