Modern Warfare 2 How To Reduce Recoil And Improve Accuracy

Modern Warfare 2 has a decent campaign part where players can enjoy some single-player experience, but most people play this game because of its multiplayer and competitive aspect. When it comes to competing with other players, there are some factors that determine if you will be on the winner’s side or the loser’s side. The major factor is your aim and the arch enemy of good aim is recoil. So here is how to reduce recoil and improve accuracy in Modern Warfare 2.

How to Reduce Recoil and Improve Accuracy in Modern Warfare 2

If there is one thing that will settle who wins a match in Modern Warfare 2 is the aiming. Whoever has a better and more precise aiming will win most matches. Sure the tactic, choice of weapon, and play style are important, but at the end of the day, aiming will settle the battle of who is a better player.

One of the things that might ruin your aim is the recoil of guns. Now there are ways you can reduce recoil, but this is an in-game mechanism and there is no legal way to remove it totally. The first thing you can do to improve accuracy and reduce recoil is to change your weapon.

Certain weapons like LMGs usually have a higher recoil compared to SMGs. But that’s not the only option. Maxing out your Field of View or FOV in the setting of the game can actually help reduce the recoil you feel when you are shooting. There is only one issue with this option, not every hardware can handle the increased field of view.

The next thing you must do is to set your Weapon Field of View to Wide as well. Since you are changing the scale of your weapon in terms of perspective, it will affect the recoil you feel from the weapon.

You can also set Affected to your ADS Field of View. Same as the Weapon Field of View this will keep the optical zoom close to your field of view and because of perspective changes, you wouldn’t notice recoil that much. And the last thing you change is to set the 1st Person Camera Movement to 50% which will prevent the camera from shaking too much.
