Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is the most anticipated game of 2022. Infinity Ward has developed the game in collaboration with Treyarch, Raven Software, Beenox, and more Activision-led studios. The devs have claimed that MW2 will be the most advanced CoD title to this date. Furthermore, the game’s controller support has improved, making gunfights better for close-range and long-range engagements.

For an arcade shooter like Call of Duty, aiming is the essential aspect that can separate you from the rest. Adjusting controller sensitivity is vital to make your aim more fluid and help you be a better player.

So, here we will discuss everything related to adjusting controller sensitivity and give you a general guideline to adjust your sensitivity for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.

What is Controller Sensitivity?

Before we start discussing adjusting controller sensitivity, let’s explain controller sensitivity and how it works. Controller sensitivity is measured by how your crosshair in-game responds to your controller’s analog stick movement.

Controller sensitivity refers to the movement of your pointer or crosshair relative to your analog stick movement. So if your pointer or crosshair is moving faster than how much you are moving your analog stick, you have a high sensitivity. Similarly, you have low sensitivity if your pointer or crosshair moves slower than how much you are moving your analog stick.

How to Adjust Controller Sensitivity Settings?

Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to adjust controller sensitivity settings:

1. After opening the game, navigate to the top-right of the screen.

2. Click on the settings prompt.

Suggestions for High Sens Users

High sens is recommended for rush and close-quarters playstyles. It is not recommended for beginners to choose a high sensitivity as it requires muscle memory and recognition of weapon recoil patterns.

Horizontal Stick Sensitivity7-9+
Vertical Stick Sensitivity7-9+
Deadzone0.05
ADS Sensitivity Multiplier1
Aim Response Curve TypeDynamic
Aim AssistStandard

Suggestions for Low Sens Users

Low sens is recommended for sniper and anchoring playstyles. It is very much recommended that beginners choose a low sensitivity as it allows them to develop good muscle memory and aiming technique. Furthermore, it will also help them tame the recoil pattern of any weapon.

Horizontal Stick Sensitivity5-6
Vertical Stick Sensitivity5-6
Deadzone0.05
ADS Sensitivity Multiplier1
Aim Response Curve TypeDynamic
Aim AssistStandard

However, controller sensitivity is an entirely personal preference. There is no one-size-fits-all approach to finding the optimal sensitivity setting. The best suggestion would be to choose a controller sensitivity setting based on trial and error.

A helpful tip would be to try out these sensitivities in-game to determine which one suits your playstyle. Furthermore, using the same horizontal and vertical stick sensitivity is very important as it makes aiming more fluid and negates the possibility of whiffing in long-range gunfights.
