In Modern Warfare 3, having the best controller settings with the right aim assist, movement behavior, etc is very important. With the right settings and sensitivity, it becomes easier to go through the campaign, mission objectives, and multiplayer modes. While it won’t be as difficult for players with a keyboard & mouse to adjust to all the mechanics, it is relatively much harder for controller players to adapt.
Since Modern Warfare 3 allows players to change the Aiming Input Device to the controller, tweaking the settings accordingly for the switch is essential. Not to mention, if you are playing on PlayStation or Xbox the best settings will help you have the best experience possible and you will be able to kill all those enemies quite easily. With that out of the way, here are the controller settings from aim assist to movement behavior to FOV settings that you can try out in MW3.
