Best controller settings in MW3: Aim assist, sensitivity, deadzones, more DexertoHaving the best controller settings possible is crucial for adapting to MW3\u2019s fast-paced movement and gameplay in this year\u2019s game. Fine-tuning your settings is an almost never-ending task for Call of Duty players. You\u2019ll alter your sensitivity slightly, play with different aim assist settings, and adjust your deadzones to find the sweet spot, but soon enough you\u2019ll feel the need to change things up again. While this process can get tedious, it is essential, as not having optimal controller settings can jeopardize your gameplay. The tricky bit is figuring out which settings you should use, with that task getting increasingly difficult as Sledgehammer Games adds more options in every update. Taking a look at how many of the top pros and streamers set up their controller, and assessing all of the options available in-game, here are the best MW3 controller settings to use, including aim assist, sensitivity, and deadzones How to change controller settings Changing your controller settings in Modern Warfare 3 is an easy enough task. All you need to do to access the appropriate menu is follow these instructions: Launch either Modern Warfare 3 or Call of Duty HQ on your platform of choice. – Once on the main menu, press start. – Use either RB or R1 to change to the settings tab, represented by a white cog. – Finally, click \u2018Controller\u2019 to access controller settings. – Best Controller settings Deadzones First things first, you\u2019ll want to adjust your deadzones. Modern Warfare 3 introduced a feature that allows players to test if their controller has stick drift. The Deadzone Input Test shows a diagram of both the left and right sticks plus both triggers. All four can be tweaked to account for stick drift and overly sensitive triggers. Decreasing the Deadzones as low as possible results in the best possible precision aim. However, you may need to increase the Left and Right Stick Min if you experience stick drift. Your Stick Min settings should match your stick drift percentage seen on the test diagram. For example, if you have 2% stick drift on either axis, then Left and Right Stick Min should be set to at least 2. However, a slightly higher value is recommended as stick drift will vary slightly as you play. For most players, 5 on both sticks and triggers will work great.

Besides just making sure that Aim Assist is on, players also must consider the different Aim Assist Types. Default: Traditional aim slowdown near target used in Modern Warfare games. – Precision: Strong aim slowdown that only kicks in when aiming closer to the target. Recommended for accurate players. – Focusing: Strong aim slowdown that also kicks in when narrowly missing the target. Recommended for players new to analog aiming. – Black Ops: Traditional aim slowdown near target used in Black Ops games – We recommend using the Default Aim Assist Type. While Black Ops Aim Assist was particularly popular in MW2 and in the early days of MW3, changes to aim assist now mean that Default is the best aim assist to use. Best Aim Response Curve Modern Warfare 3 offers three types of Aim Response Curves, each coming with its own distinct feeling for your thumbstick movements. Here are how the three types work: Standard: Simple power curve map from aim stick to aim rate – Linear: Aim stick maps directly to aim rate – Dynamic: Reverse S-curve mapping for fine aim rate control – Most MW3 players will lean towards the Standard Aim Response Curve, but we recommend giving Dynamic a go and learning how to use it. The setting allows for much finer control than the other options but requires a bit of a learning curve, no pun intended. At the end of the day, controller settings come down to personal preference, so if one or more of our settings don\u2019t quite seem to work for you, then it\u2019s easy enough to find your own specialized adjustments.
