Graphics

It’s all preference but i have some recommended stuff.
With the current 2019 update you have 2 options ” Beauty ” or ” Performance ” i play with Performance.

  • Resolution = 1920×1080
  • DisplayMode = Fullscreen
  • Vsync = Disabled
  • Fov = 95
  • Framerate Cap = 200
  • ———————————-
  • Textures = Low
  • AntiAliasing = Low
  • Shadows = Low ( Medium Shadows let you see enemies shadows )
  • Effects = Low
  • Post Process = Low
  • Foliage = Off
  • Resolution Quality = 100
  • Texture Streaming = Disabled ( On if you experience stutter )
  • Motion Blur = Disabled
  • Forward Rendering = Disable it if you want (New Renderer) – Enable otherwise ( Old Renderer).
  • Forward Rendering Explained

Controls

Like graphics it’s preference but i’ll show you what i got.

  • Mouse Sensitivity = Sensitivity Converter [jscalc.io]
  • Mouse Aim Scale = 1 ( Default is 1, while aiming it’s now a 1:1 ratio of your Mouse Sensitivity )
  • Mouse Sensitivity FOV Scale = Enabled
  • Invert Look = Disabled

Binds

This is most definitely preference but i got two old binds from Call of Duty 4 that i’d still like to use.

  • Run / Run Toggle = I switched to normal Run instead of Toggle, it just feels better.
  • Melee Attack = I binded it to Scroll Down, it’s easier to use when stressed.

Gameplay

Some of them are preference but others are recommended, check for yourself.

  • Head Bob = Disabled ( Your screen wont bounce when jumping or getting hit, nice in competetive )
  • Objective Marker Scale = 0.5 ( Makes the ” A ” & ” B ” marker from bombsites way smaller but still easy to spot )
  • Show FPS = Show ( Nice to see how it runs, if you got steam overlay fps counter then Disabled )
  • Individual Player Info In Overview = Disabled ( It now says how many alive in numbers instead of pictures )

Weapons

Viewmodel is preference, but im a former CoD4 Promod player so i want my old viewmodel here.

  • Fixed Weapon View Model = Disabled
  • Left Handed View Model = Enabled
  • Forward = 5
  • Up = -2
  • Right = -2

Server + Game Configuration

Some basics customization: In the DefaultGame.ini search for the heading [/script/shootergame.battaliongamemode]
and you should see something like:

  • ServerName= Change this to the name you want players to see your server as
  • Password= Add a password here if you want
  • TeamNames=”ALLIES” Change the name of Team 1
  • TeamNames=”AXIS” Change the name of Team 2
  • PlayMode=Arcade Set the play style of the server. Most admins will want “Arcade”, however “Comp” and “Unranked” are also available. These configurations mirror the matchmaking options.
  • StartType=ReadyUp Here you set how the server will start. You can choose between: “ReadyUp” requires all players to ready up before the game begins, “PlayerCount” waits until the number of players is bigger or equal to the “RequiredPlayers” config variable, and “Skip” which will start the server immediately.

This is what i’ve changed in my game, any settings not shown in the guide means i left it at default.

Watching Demos & Locate Demo Folder – By Nyx ( Creator )

  • To enter the demo folder open a Run window by pressing Windows Key + R
  • Type %localappdata% and hit enter
  • In there find the Battalion folder
  • Thats where all your demos get saved
  • So you can grab someone’s steam id inside the demos if you go to Esc > Social > View Profile while viewing a downloaded demo. Its the same way as if you were still in a game with the players. If you happen to catch someone exploiting, griefing or cheating in games and you want to get their steamid to identify the player but the game has finished, you can still view their profile inside the demo // Thanks to Deimoz!

Strat Mode & How to follow grenades ( Practice )

Strat Mode
  • Create a LAN game with the strat mode advanced setting turned on.
  • When in-game stay in warmup-up mode.
  • Give yourself grenades/smokes with these 2 commands

  • Server.GiveSmokeGrenade 100
  • To follow the grenade Press & Hold on the key Z
