Modern Warfare 2 is a first-person shooter title where fast-paced gameplay is the name of the show. As a result, users must tune their settings in such a way that they get consistently high framerates and clear visuals.

On the PS5, players can run the game in either 120 FPS mode or 60 FPS, with both having their fair share of advantages and disadvantages.

For instance, the 120 FPS mode would deliver high framerates at the cost of resolution and visual quality. Similarly, 60 FPS mode would provide users with fantastic image quality but at a lower framerate.

Hence, unless you'll be playing the Campaign mode, Special Ops, or Raid, running the game at 120 FPS is advised to get a smooth experience. As for visual quality, the following settings are recommended to be tweaked to get the most optimal experience in Modern Warfare 2 on the PS5:
