Are you looking to take yourModern Warfare 3gameplay to the next level? Then you’ll need Destructoid’s ultimate guide to the bestMW3controller settings, including aim assist, aim responsive curves, FOV settings, and more.
There are lots of ways to improve yourCall of Dutyskills, whether it’s practicing your aim in the firing range, or watching gameplay of better players to learn from them. If you’re not using the best settings though, you’ll always be at a disadvantage, and I don’t want that for you.
That’s why I’ve put together this guide toMW3‘s best controller settings. These are the exact settings that I use every time I boot upCoD, so you know that I’ve tested these out and believe they’re top-tier.

MW3Aim Assist types explained
There are four differentAim Assist typesinModern Warfare 3, although two are very similar. Below, I explain what each means.
I tried all four of these out whenMW3first dropped. Precision puts you at a disadvantage as your slowdown kicks in later than the rest, so I wouldn’t advise using it. Conversely, Focusing’s aim slowdown is way too strong, and I hated how it felt.
I recommend using Default or Black Ops. They feel pretty much identical, but I felt like I played better using Black Ops personally. Try them both out and see which one feels the best.
MW3Aim Response Curve explained
On top of Aim Assist types, there are also response curves to consider. There are three in total:
The only one I don’t recommend is Linear, which I found difficult to use. Standard is solid for almost everyone, while Dynamic is probably the best due to the precision it can give you. If you do switch to it, be ready for some early pain though, as it took me about a week before I was comfortable with it.
Best MW3 FOV settings
As for FOV, I recommend you stick to 100 as your Field of View. This lets you see a good portion of your surroundings, without zooming out too far and getting that weird feeling of everything around you looking skewed.
In the end, though, it’s all personal preference, so try anywhere from 95 to 115 and see which one feels the best for you.
