Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0

DualSense Edge settings for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II and Warzone 2.0

by

The DualSense Edge is a new premium controller created by Sony. To see what are the best settings for the gamepad when it comes to playing Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II and Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0 on your PlayStation 5 console, you can take a look at this guide from Seeking Tech.

Analog Caps

When it comes to the analog caps, we recommend going with whatever gives you the best grip. For us, we found that the standard caps work the best.

Keep in mind that you will be able to mix and match between the standard, high dome and low dome caps for the left and right analog sticks.

Back Buttons Attachments

For the back button attachments, we recommend using the levers if you have smaller hands or half domes if you have bigger ones. Or you can do with whichever feels the most comfortable and give you the quickest response.

You can also mix and match for the left and right back buttons.

Trigger Stops

We recommend that you move the trigger stop sliders located on the back of your DualSense Edge all the way to the bottom. By doing so, the controller will be able to register your L2 and R2 buttons quickly.

This will also disable the adaptive trigger effects in the game.

Customize Button Assignments

When customizing your Button Assignments for one of your profiles that is stored on your DualSense Edge, we suggest setting the left back button to L3 and the right back button to R3. You can then disable both the L3 and R3 buttons.

We tend to have problems when it comes to pressing these two buttons. Not to mention that it is very easy to trigger these if you accidentally press down too hard on the left and right analog sticks.

Stick Sensitivity/Deadzone and Trigger Deadzone

You can also use the Stick Sensitivity/Deadzone and Trigger Deadzone menus from your DualSense Edge profile to fine tune the sensitivity of the analog sticks and triggers to your liking.

This may be helpful if you start to notice some drift in the left, right or both analogs.

Using the DualSense Edge as wired controller

We highly recommend that you use the DualSense Edge as a wired controller as it will reduce the input lag.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II and Warzone 2.0 Controller Menu

Next, you can go to the Controller menu from inside Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II and Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0.

From there, we recommend that you turn off Controller Vibration as it can be distracting when it comes to multiplayer matches. In the same menu, you can also change the button layout and add gyro aiming if you prefer using motion to help fine tune your accuracy.

We suggest playing around with all of the available settings in this Controller menu until you find the right combinations to boost your performance in multiplayer.

by

When playing Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II and/or Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0 on your Xbox Series X or Xbox Series X console, you may notice that the graphics may look a little off. The games can be too bright, too dark or look washed out.  

To see how you can fix these HDR issues, you can take a look at this troubleshooting article from Seeking Tech. 

1. To start off, you can make sure that you have the right HDR settings enabled on your game system. In order to do so, you need to do the following: 

  • Go to the Settings menu. 
  • From Settings, you need to go to General on the left side and then select TV & display options on the right side. 
  • Once you are in the General – TV & display options menu, you need to select Video modes. 
  • In the General – Video modes menu, make sure you the Allow HDR10 option is enabled. If your TV or monitor supports Dolby Vision, then make sure you enable the Allow Dolby Vision and Dolby Vision for Gaming settings as well. 

2. Next, you can try to re-calibrate the HDR brightness output on your Series X or Series S. In order to do so, you can try taking the following steps: 

  • Go to Settings > TV & display options. 
  • From the General – TV & display options menu, select Calibrate HDR for games. 
  • Follow the instructions over the next several screens to calibrate the minimum and maximum luminance of the console’s HDR brightness output.  

3. You can also try changing the Allow YCC 4:2:2 setting by going to Settings > TV & display options > Video modes. 

Afterwards, test out Modern Warfare 2 or Warzone 2 to see if you can get better HDR colors with this setting enabled or disabled. 

4. Furthermore, you can try changing the color depth or color space. In order to do so, you need to do the following: 

  • Head over to Settings > TV & display options > Visual fidelity & overscan. 
  • From the General – Visual fidelity & overscan menu, you will be able to change the Color Depth and/or Color Space settings. 
  • After making a change, make sure you test it out while playing the game to see if you can get better results. 

5. If you want to adjust the in-game brightness of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II and/or Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0, then the only way to do so is to uninstall the game launcher from your Xbox Series console and then re-install it again. 

When opening the game after a fresh install, you should be able to adjust the HDR brightness level. 

6. You can also try adding a color filter by taking the following steps:  

  • Press the menu button while playing Modern Warfare II or Warzone 2.0. 
  • In the pause menu, press the RB button a few times to switch over to the Settings tab. 
  • Press the Y button while you are in the Settings tab to open the Accessibility menu.  
  • From the Accessibility menu, you then need to select the All Accessibility Settings option. 
  • Next, you need to select Color Customization. 
  • After getting to the Color Customization menu, you need to select Color Filter and then Filter 1. 
  • Afterwards, select Color Filter Target and then World. 
  • You should now be able to adjust the World Intensity slider. 

After changing the value of the World Intensity slider, test out the new color filter in-game. You can then go back to this menu to make any additional adjustments that you might need.

How to fix Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II and Warzone 2.0 input lag issues on Xbox

by

You may experience noticeable input delay when playing Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II and Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0 on your Xbox console.  

To see how you can reduce latency for these Xbox One, Xbox One S, Xbox One X, Xbox Series S and Xbox Series X games, you can follow the steps laid out in this tutorial at Seeking Tech. 

1. The first step you can try is to make sure that your television set has a Game Mode, Game Optimizer Mode or similarly named mode activated.  

This is the best picture setting for playing games as it will lower the input lag. 

2. You should also make sure that you aren’t using any A.I. processing on your TV screen as these features may add latency. 

3. You are able to play Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2 at 120 frames per second on the Xbox Series S and Xbox Series X. By doing so, you will get a much smoother experience that should also result in lower input lag.  

To enable this mode, make sure that your television set or monitor supports a 120 Hz refresh rate. Afterwards, you need to go to the Settings menu of your Series S or Series X and then go to General > TV & display options. From the General – TV & display options menu, make sure you change the Refresh Rate setting to 120 Hz. 

While enabling 120 Hz will lead to less sharpness and visual fidelity, you should end up getting a faster input response. 

4. To further reduce input lag, you should also enable Variable Refresh Rate on your Xbox Series S or Xbox Series X. If your TV or monitor supports this feature, then make sure you turn it on from the screen’s settings menus.  

On your Series S or Series X, you then need to go to General > TV & display options > Video modes.

From there, you need to check the “Allow variable refresh rate” box.  

5. If you are using a wireless Xbox controller to play Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II and Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0 than we recommend that you plug the gamepad directly into one of the USB ports of your Xbox One, Xbox One S, Xbox One X, Xbox Series S or Xbox Series X console.  

This is because a wired connection should lead to a faster response when compared to wireless. 

6. The same logic should also apply to the internet connection. So, if possible, we recommend using a wired Ethernet cable to connect your Xbox online instead of using Wi-Fi.  

7. It is a good idea that you update the games, your console, your screen, as well as your controller. The new versions may come with improvements when it comes to reducing the input latency. 

8. If you are still experiencing a lot of lag, then you can try switching to another television screen or monitor. Some screens are better equipped at reducing latency when compared to others.

  • Set Film Grain to 0.00 
  • Disable Depth of Field 
  • Enable FidelityFX CAS 

For FidelityFX CAS, you can change the intensity of the sharpening effects and then test it out in game. You can then make any adjustments in the slider to cater to your preference.  

You can also increase the field of view for the first- and third-person perspective in the Graphics menu. By increasing the FoV, you will be able to see more of your surrounding areas.  

6. Return to the Settings tab and then select Interface. 

7. From the Interface menu, you will be able to change how text is display on the screen.  

Furthermore, you will be able to customize the following HUD elements:

  • Horizontal Compass 
  • Crosshairs 
  • Crosshair Bobbing 
  • Hit Marker Visuals 
  • Damage-Based Hit Markers 
  • Player Names 
  • Vehicle HUD Prompts

You can also choose to disable tool and gameplay tips in the same menu. 

8. Go back to the Settings back once again and then head into Accessibility.  

9. From the Accessibility menu, you can add a color filter in order to the World Color Intensity. This may help make it easier to see enemies and other objects in Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2.0.  

10. We also recommend that you optimize the HDR output of the game. Otherwise, it may be hard to see in certain scenes.

You can also add a Center Dot to the gameplay screen as doing so will help your eyes focus.

12. In the same screen, scroll down to the Graphics section. 

While a lot of the settings from the Graphics section are the same as the previous steps, there is also a new ADS Filed of View option that you can link or unlink to your 1st person field of view angle. 

13. If your television set or monitor has a 120 Hz refresh rate and/or adaptive sync support, then we recommend enabling these features. 

By doing so, you will get a smoother experience when playing Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II and Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0, which should help with your dizziness and/or nausea.

How to fix Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0 HDR issues on PS5

by

When playing Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0 on your PlayStation 5 or PlayStation 5 Digital Edition console, you may experience some issues with the HDR display. Some areas may look too dark while others may look a little too bright. The colors in general may look washed out as well. 

To see how you can get a better HDR output for this free-to-play game, you can take a look at this troubleshooting article from Seeking Tech.  

1. The first potential step you can try is to make sure that you have HDR actually enabled on your screen and console.  

On your PlayStation 5, you need to head over to the Settings menu. From there, you need to select Screen and Video, followed by Video Output. You should then make sure that you set HDR to “Always On” or “On When Supported” in the Video Output menu. 

2. On your television set, you should also make sure that you don’t have any settings enabled that may automatically dim the brightness output or change the contrast. If you do, then you need to turn them off. 

3. You can also try changing the RGB Range of your PS5’s output.  

In order to do so, go back to the aforementioned Video Output menu and then select RGB Range. This setting should be set to Automatic (Recommended) by default. You can try changing it to either Limited or Full to see if your HDR issues go away when playing Warzone 2. 

4. You should try re-calibrating the HDR Brightness on your console as well. 

To do so, head back to the Video Output menu and then select Adjust HDR. Over the next few screens, you then need to follow the instructions that appear on the screen in order to calibrate the brightness output of your console to match your television screen. 

5. There is a possibility that the HDR color and brightness output of your TV is not that good.  

If you believed that this is the case, then you can try playing Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0 on a different television set or monitor with HDR support.  

If that is not possible, then you can try playing the game without HDR. In order to disable HDR on your PS5, go to the Settings > Screen and Video > Video Output menu and the set HDR to Off. 

6. Although you won’t be able to adjust the HDR brightness when playing Warzone 2, you should be able to add a color filter. To do so, you need to take the following steps: 

  • While playing the game, press the Options button on your controller. 
  • In the newly opened menu, press R1 several times to switch over to the Settings tab.  
  • From the Settings tab, press the Triangle button.  
  • After getting to the Accessibility menu, you need to select All Accessibility Settings.  
  • Next, you need to select Color Customization from the Display tab. 
  • From the Color Customization menu, select any of the available options in the Color Filter setting. 
  • In the Color Filter Target, select World. 
  • You can then adjust the World Color Intensity.  

How to reduce Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0 input lag on PS5

by

When playing Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0 on your PlayStation 5 or PlayStation 5 Digital Edition system, you may notice that there is a bit of input lag. You can take a look at this guide from Seeking Tech to see how you can potentially reduce the latency. 

1. For the first step, we recommend that you stop downloading, uploading or streaming on another device as the bandwidth load may lag input delay.  

2. If possible, we recommend that you connected your PS5 console to wired Ethernet, which should be faster and more stable when compared to Wi-Fi. 

3. You should also check if you have Game Mode, or another similar setting, enabled on your television set. This picture setting mode is designed to increase the responsiveness of playing games like Warzone 2. 

4. If possible, we recommend that you enable Variable Refresh Rate on your TV or monitor. In some screens, enabling Game Mode should also turn on VRR by default as well. 

Moreover, you should also make sure you have Variable Refresh Rate support enabled on your PS5. In order to check, you need to do the following: 

  • Go to the Settings menu of your PlayStation 5 or PlayStation 5 Digital Edition console. 
  • After opening the Settings screen, go to Screen and Video. 
  • Inside the Screen and Video menu, you first need to select Video Output. 
  • On the right side of the same menu, you should then make sure that VRR is set to Automatic. 

5. If your television or monitor has a 120 Hz refresh rate, then we recommend playing Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0 at 120 frames per second. Not only will you get a smoother experience, but the input lag will be further reduced as well. 

In order to enable 120 Hz support on your PS5, go back to the Settings > Screen and Video > Video Output menu. From there, you need to set the 120 Hz setting to Automatic. 

When playing the game at 120 frames per second, you may notice a drop in sharpness and other visual enhancements. These sacrifices are made in order to run the game at a higher fps. 

6. You can also try using your DualSense as a wired controller as doing so will eliminate some of the input delay. If you are interested in doing so, then you need to take the following steps: 

  • Connect your DualSense to your PS5 by using an USB cable. The controller must stay connected to the console when you are playing Warzone 2. 
  • Once you are ready, head to the Settings menu of your console. 
  • From Settings, you have to select Accessories. 
  • After getting to the Accessories menu, you need to select Controller (General) on the left column and then Communication Method on the right side. 
  • In the Communication Method menu, make sure that the Use USB Cable is selected. 

7. Make sure you have the latest patch for Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0 and firmware for your PlayStation 5 installed. These new updates may improve the input latency when playing the first-person shooter. 

8. If you are only experiencing noticeable lag when you are trying to aim, then you can try increasing analog stick sensitivity from the in-game menu by doing the following: 

  • Press the Options button on your controller to open the menu on the right side. 
  • Next, you need to press the R1 button a few times to switch over to the Settings tab. 
  • In the Settings tab, you then need to select Controller.  
  • Inside the Controller menu, scroll down to the Aiming section. 

In this section, you will be able to adjust the following parameters:  

  • Horizontal Stick Sensitivity 
  • Vertical Stick Sensitivity 
  • ADS Sensitivity Multiplier (Third Person Sensitivity Multiplier, Ground Vehicles Sensitivity Multiplier, Air Vehicles Sensitivity Multiplier and Tablet Sensitivity Multiplier) 
  • Vertical Aim Axis (On Foot Vertical Aim, Third Person Vertical Aim, Ground Vehicles Vertical Aim and Air Vehicles Vertical Aim) 

9. If none of the aforementioned potential solutions helped with reducing the input lag, then you can try playing Warzone 2.0 on anther screen to see if you can get a more responsive experience. Some television sets and monitors may have better latency reduction when compared to others.

How to disable Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0 crossplay and crossplay chat on PS5

by

By default, the PlayStation 5 version of Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0 will have crossplay and crossplay chat enabled. The crossplay feature will allow you to play the game with players on another platform such as PC and Xbox. The crossplay communication feature will let you chat with the players from other platforms via text and voice. 

While crossplay is great, especially if you have friends that don’t have the same platform as you, it could lead to an unfair advantage, especially when PC players are matched up against console gamers. 

If you want to disable either, or both, of these features, then you can take a look at this article from Seeking Tech.  

1. If you haven’t done so already, make sure you turn on your PlayStation 5 or PlayStation 5 Digital Edition system. 

2. Next, you need to start playing the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II videogame as it shares the same launcher as Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0. 

3. Once you opened the game, press the Options button on your DualSense to skip the intro sequence. 

4. You can then follow the instruction on the screen by pressing the X button to start. 

5. Afterwards, wait for the servers to connect to the game. 

6. You can then press the circle button to skip pass the Message of the Day. 

7. In the main menu scroll down to the Games section and then select Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0 Battle Royale or Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0 DMZ. 

8. Wait for the servers to connect again.  

9. In the main menu of Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0 Battle Royale or Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0 DMZ, press Options button to open the menu that will appear on the right side. 

10. In the new menu, press the R1 button several times to switch over to the Settings tab. 

11. You then need to select Account & Network from the list of available options. 

12. After getting to the Account & Network menu, you should see the Crossplay and Crossplay Communication settings in the Online section at the top. 

By default, both of these are set to On. To disable one, or both, you need to select the settings to set them to Off. 

By disabling crossplay and/or crossplay chat for Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0 Battle Royale, the change will also be applied to Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0 DMZ and vice versa. 

With crossplay turned off, you should no longer play Warzone 2.0 with players from other non-PlayStation platforms. If you decide to keep crossplay enabled but disable cross chat, then you won’t be able to communicate with people that are playing from another platform. 

If you want to re-enable crossplay and/or crossplay chat then you need to return to the Settings > Account & Network menu. From there, you need to make sure that the Crossplay and/or Crossplay Communication settings are set to On.

How to download Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0 on PS5

by

The Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0 is a free-to-play battle royale mode for the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II videogame.  

You will be able to download this component separately from the main game. By doing so, you will save a lot of space on the solid state drive as you don’t have to keep the other parts of Modern Warfare 2 installed. Not to mention that you don’t actually have to own the main game in order to play Warzone 2.0. 

With that said, the process can be a little bit confusing on the PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 5 Digital Edition systems if you aren’t familiar with navigating through the cumbersome PlayStation Store App. To find out how you can properly do so, you can take a look at this step-by-step tutorial from Seeking Tech. 

1. To start off, turn on your Sony game console and then sign into your PlayStation Network account if you haven’t done so already. 

2. You should now be in the home screen menu. This is where you can select which game to start up. 

3. From the home screen, you need to open the PlayStation Store App. 

4. In the PlayStation Store, you need to go to the product page for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II. 

If you can’t find the game, then you can use the search bar on the top right side of the store. 

Keep in mind that Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0 won’t show up on any listings or search result pages. Instead, you need to visit the product page for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 first. 

5. Once you get to the product page for the main game, scroll down until you see the Choose Edition section. From there, you need to select Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0. 

Alternatively, you can select the three dots icon on the product page for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II. In the pop-up menu, you then need to select Call of Duty: Warzone 2.

Alternatively, you can also download the PS5 versions of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II – Warzone 2 Add-On separately.  

Avoid downloading the PS4 versions of the main game as well as the free-to-play battle royale mode; otherwise, you won’t get all the enhancements of playing the native PS5 version.  

8. Wait for both the main game and Warzone 2.0 add-on to be downloaded and installed on to the SSD. 

9. Once the installation for the two components have been completed, you should be able to start playing Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0.
