Console Commands in CoD4
Console is a really big part of cod4 cuz you can control everything there. Some commands will even help in-game plays and make you better. Below is a list of commands I know so far for clients and servers, hope it helps you guys!
P.S type \ before every command or else it won't work
How to enable console
For most clients, the console is diabled from gaming. All you have to do is goto "Options" - "Multiplayer Options" and change the "Enable Console" to "yes".
Then, at any time, you can just hit on the ~ key to open console or shift + ~ to open the full console, it really has no differences.
Clients Commands
The commands below made me better in game and helped me had a better view of everything, you should give those a try!
com_maxfps 125
This is REALLY important cuz the higher the fps is, the more smoother it is in game, but just beware that even this setting can go up to 1000, however, it also depends on how good your computer is, so be careful with it.
cg_fov 80
Field of view (fov) is basicily how wide you see. The higher it is, the wider you will see. It is a huge advantage for people didn't use this. However, this will make everything, your enemy, bombs, and other stuff look smaller. So still, careful with it.The defult was 60 and the max is 80, it's up to you really.
r_drawdecals 1
1 is on, 0 is off. It will clean up the random trashes, papers, ashes and those stuff in the map, it will bring you a fps boost! However, some servers want you have bad fps so it will be turned off when you enter those servers.
maxpackets 100
This is for people who have good fps but bad hit registrations. Defult is 30, and you should increase it to 100 if your fps is 125.
snaps 30
This command tells the game how many time it update the position of a player, bullets, ect per sec. Defult is 20, 30 will make game smoother.
r_drawsun 0
Turn off those stupid effects to save few fps for you. 1 is on, 0 is off.
cg_brass 0
Turn off shell ejection. Not have to render them would save you a few fps. 1 is on, 0 is off.
