Best Black Ops 7 beta settings

Call of Duty Black Ops 7’s open beta is in full swing, and if you were looking for the best settings to use on PC, you’ve arrived at the right place.

Although the BO7 open beta will end on Oct. 8, the settings below will be applicable once the game fully launches later this year. You may tweak some settings according to the specifications of your PC, but make sure it meets the minimum system requirements, at least.
