Fov and smoothing: what should I run after the last patch?

Config talk

I keep bouncing between a tiny circle and something wider for Ground War. Every time I crank smoothing down my KD jumps for a game then I start getting prefired.

For MW4 on PC are you prioritizing chest or head at medium range? And do you leave the circle visible while tuning or is that just asking for clips?

Fov and smoothing work together: widen the circle for Ground War, then add one notch of smooth before you touch bone priority.

After a patch, reset fov and smoothing by ten percent, test one playlist, then compare forum replies before you chase instant snap settings.

Wide circle + medium smooth saved me. Head bone only inside ~15m for me or I whiff full autos.

Tried that in a private match and it already feels less snappy. Gonna test one more notch of smooth tonight.

Chest at range, head when you are literally in their face. If you run head only at mid you will lose trades to people with better movement.

Honestly felt worse after buying. Support swapped my key but aim still feels mushy compared to what the product page shows.

Mushy usually means smooth is too high or FOV is huge. Drop both 10% and test one playlist before you refund.
