When it comes to playing Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, players playing the game with controllers have some edge because of the Aim Assist.

Before we jump to the best Aim Assist settings in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, here are all the types of Aim Assists available in the game:

  • 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. Best for accurate players.
  • Focusing: Strong aim slowdown that also kicks in when narrowly missing the target. Best for players new to analog aiming.
  • Black Ops: Traditional aim slowdown near target used in Black Ops games.

We suggest you try the Black Ops Aim Assist Settings in the game, as they provide the best experience overall.

Note: Which Aim Assist settings are the best is entirely based on personal preferences. Hence, you might be comfortable with some other settings, and we suggest you go with the ones you are comfortable with.

In addition to this, these are some extra settings that you need to change in order to get the best Aim Assist type experience in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2:

  • Target Aim Assist: On
  • Aim Response Curve Type: Dynamic
  • ADS Sens. Multiplier (Focus): 1.00
  • ADS Sensitivity Transition Timing: Instant
  • Custom Sensitivity Per Zoom: Off. (Adjust it according to your comfort after some time)

These were all the MW2 Aim Assists settings you need to know before you enter the Battlefield to unlock different Gold Camo weapons.
