COD4 Visual settings

[Slinkie]

Hi Folks,

I've only recently got a PC good enough to play some COD4 and have been mostly been playing it online. I am currently at level 52 but am getting a bit peeved at how easy some people can kill me because they can see me and I can't see them.

I am currently running the game at 1680x1050 and everything is as set to as high as possible. I have set my fov to 80 and have my max fps at a steady 125 but I want to turn down the settings a bit so I can compete against others who have done the same.

Can you recommend and of the settings that I should reduce so it's easier for me to see people? I don't want to compromise too much on the graphics so I want to find a middle ground. Is there any good webites that explain the effects of the settings?

Thanks

Matt

Turning off Depth of Field, should stop the rest of the screen blurring, making it easier to see.

After messing around with some settings, trying the above config etc I have decided just to turn on all the eye candy again and just turn of depth of field. I can't justify having spent loads on a decent PC to turn all the settings down so it looks rubbish. I didn't really find it that much easier with the settings down either.

You probably just need the learn the maps a bit more. I can't imagine there being much of a advantage on low (apart from DoF).

Even if it did make a difference, I would never sacrifice atmosphere for a few extra kills. Some people take online gaming way too seriously.

The problem I had was that when I die and I watch the kill cam I see people shooting me when they can't even see me. A good example is on downpour and they are prone in the long grass. I just assumed that by turning the graphical levels down it would remove some of the grass and so make it easier to see other people.
