Please read carefully before using them! Feel free to add tweaks if you have tested them.
config_mp.cfg This is the file where you can adjust the settings found below. Make a backup of it before editing! You can find the config-file for the retail version in '\program files\steam\steamapps\common\call of duty modern warfare 2\players'. The config-file for the cracked version can be found in '\Modern Warfare 2\players'.
Pingindicator 4 green bars can give you a feeling that your connection is alright....well, consider this. 4 bars indicates a ping of 100ms or less, 3 bars 100ms<200ms, 2 bars 200ms<300ms, 1 bar >300ms. In my opinion the pingindicator should be more sensitive to pingchanges. You can adjust this pretty easily though.
Change scoresping_interval from 100 to 25, and maxbars from 4 to 8 (10 is the max). This means that each of the 8 bars represents 25ms, with full green being 25ms or lower, and 1 red being 175ms or higher.
Maximum fps The rate of frame per second can influence the gameplay, strange but true. A framerate of 125 or 333 is considered to be ideal. You can fix this by maximizing your fpsrate. Just set com_maxfps to 125 (or 333 if you have some sort of freakpc )
Field of view This is unedittable in multiplayer. However manually adjusting to 16:9 instead of 16:10 in graphics menu will give you a bit of a stretched, but ultimately wider viewing angle.
So a player with a 256Kb can host a max of 8 players.

the human eye is incapable of processing the FPS you're suggesting, 100 is more than enough.
That said tho, I wouldnt recommend adjusting more than the ping indicator as steam for some retarded reason tries to check the cfg files every now and then.

1. the human eye idd doesn't recognize such a FPS, 60 is more than enough for that reason. But you may not be aware that you jump higher and further with 125 or 333 FPS (will post some references when I have the time)
2. read the same. But pingindicator and maximizing FPS is harmless and I can't imagine you will be banned for that. Sign up for the Bagdadcafe Campers Cup II mid March - CoD4 Promod 5vs5

Wacko, considering your comments it's quite obvious you do not like MW2, fair enough. Some pple, including myself, are still willing to give it a try. I put time and effort in making a good post so other pple can profit from it who do like the game.

Well regardless the quality of MW2, it will be the last Cod I'll be playing.
That said however, I can buy their "the game isnt balanced for more than 6vs6/9vs9" bullcrap because the maps really arent able to handle much more than that.
About the human eye, sure the facts say that it cant see that much, but that does not change the fact that you can acually feel and in some cases see the difference, I notice right away if Im running 60/85 or 125. And for me, being an old Q3-OSP-Promode gamer, Ive gotten quite picky with the refreshrates, not no mention Hz settings on my CRT! Its a darn shame that I now days cant tweak the Hz to more than 85, thank you nvidia, thank you microsoft....
Ontopic: thanx for the tweaks Smog.
