Best Modern Warfare 2 controller settings in Season 2

Season 2 of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 has arrived with several interesting changes under its belt. To keep up with all of these changes and remain competitive in the game, players will need to update their controller settings accordingly. Thankfully, the title offers a plethora of options to tweak, letting players set them up based on their individual preferences.

Modern Warfare 2 offers native crossplay support, allowing players on consoles (using controllers) and PCs (using either a mouse and keyboard or a controller) to play in the same lobby. However, due to the precision advantage of using a mouse for aiming, controller users must ensure that their settings are set up correctly to stand a chance against mouse and keyboard players.
