Trying to play on a modern PC

[LeyzerTB]

I have a 10th gen i7 with 16gb ram and 1660 super 6gb GPU.

I'm trying to play the game, but even on max settings I'm getting around 300 FPS and it's just too fast and 'slippery' to control movements properly.

I think my PC is just too powerful to play such an old game. Does that make sense?

I, don't think thats how it works

[cambreaKer]

sounds like the movement is tied to the framerate, limit the game's framerate to 60 or 120

[LeyzerTB]

Thanks. I thought I set the game frame rate to 144. Do you think it would help if I reduced it to 120 or less?

default framerate cap for this game is 91 for multiplayer portion (seen as 85 for some reason), but unlimited for campaign portion. as @cambreaKeR mentioned above, older CoD games cause some issues (movement mechanics, jump height, footstep sounds etc) at high fps values, particularly 200+ ; so you can try limiting it by using "com_maxfps" console command. if you can't open the developer console when pressing tilde key, you need to enable it at game settings first.

and lastly, if you experience weird stuttering or fps fluctuations, make sure to have "sync every frame" disabled and enable "dual video cards" option at graphics settings.

Just cap your FPS at 125.

 /com_maxfps 125

Lots of older games have this issue where the physics and movement is tied to the framrate. Fallout 3 and New Vegas, once you get above 60FPS, the movements start speeding up since it's tied to the framerate. Capping the FPS does the trick.

NVIDIA GPU users can just do a per-game FPS cap via the NVIDIA Control Panel.
Thus easier to do and keep track of rather then using other methods.
