Aim Assist Settings Explained – Guide – Modern Warfare 2

There are a total of 4 Aim Assist Settings in Modern Warfare 2. Each of them pretty much has its own unique setting and feel but only if you really pay close attention to it. Here are all of them as it is shown in the game description menu:

  • Default – traditional aim slowdown near your target to be able for you to better and precisely aim at them
  • Precision – this is a much stronger aim slowdown that will only kick in when you are aiming extremely close to the target. This is very good if you are an experienced player since it will only activate exactly nearby your aiming target
  • Focusing – this one is very handy to have when you might end up narrowly missing your target. The game will pick up on when you were close to the target and missed it and basically slow down your aim so that you won’t wander off away from it
  • Black Ops – this is something that was used in the Black Ops games. It will you so much slow down that some people don’t like, but it helps out with the aiming however

As you move through your target there is a special type of range or a circle that surrounds enemy players or targets that the game picks up on. Each of the settings will have a different and unique setting that will slow down just the way you pick it up to be.

What Is The Best Aim Assist Setting?

There is no actual best Aim Assist setting as not every player is different. You will want to pick them up as you play and come to find your favorite choice of aim assist. All of them are different and some have a much larger square area as well as a much slower speed that drags as you aim.

The best one that most people have used and are most familiar with, is the Default setting. It is basically the one with a large aim assist zone around the players that might help you out more than the other settings with a smaller circle. We hope that this guide has helped you understand how the Aim Assist settings work in Modern Warfare 2. Have fun choosing and experimenting with your favorite Aim Assist mode!
