This is a tutorial video that I made several years ago. It goes over the basic concept of adding binds to your unnamedsoldier.cfg file in Medal of Honor. Remember that using binds is prohibited on some servers, so it is nice to have a backup cfg file when playing on those servers. Please use binds only for fun and friendly conversation; NEVER USE TO CHEAT!

GAME OPTIMIZATION:
There are many ways to tweak & maximize your settings in Medal of Honor. I'll explain 2 of these settings.

cg_smoothclients and cl_timenudge:

The images flashed in front of your eyes while in the game are slightly delayed as they come from the server to you. This explains why a 500 pinger is sluggish and slowly slides across your screen and why it is merely impossible to hit him with a bolt rifle. Some of these settings such as cg_smoothclients and cl_timenudge when turned on and tweeked will speed up the way you receive the images sent from the server. For example, with cg_smoothclients turned on, you will see more of a "real time" image and therefore you don't have to lead your shots. A laggy high pinger will be seen where the server sees him in more of a "real time" so you will see the character skip, but you won't have to guess. It does feel like its more of a gittery image, but it does feel more smooth overall. Thus the name smoothclients.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now before changing these 2 settings, do the following. First go into a server and open your console. Type cg_lagometer 1 to view your info. To take it off type cg_lagometer 0. Do a Google search to learn what the cg_lagometer colors mean.

To check what your current settings are tpye:
cl_timenudge ENTER (default is 0...click 1st link to learn about timenudge)
cg_smoothclients ENTER (2.15 patch default is 0, 2.11 default is 1....I prefer 1)
However, do not set cg_smoothclients to 1 if you are using a negative cl_timenudge.

When you enter these into your console sometimes they don't save. To avoid having to re-enter everything over and over I recommend adding these to your Spearhead Unnamedsoilder.cfg file found in C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\MOHAA\mainta\configs. When you click to open this file select Word Pad/Notepad. I use Notepad++. Make sure you have on WORD WRAP to keep it all organized. This is where all your game settings are saved and you can add binds and other settings. It is safe to copy this file to another location before changing it so you always have a backup. After editing and adding the text just save it and go open your game. The changes should have saved.

The most popular ones to add are:
seta com_maxfps "700" .......................boosts game FPS default
seta cl_timenudge "10" .......................speeds up the time the images are received
seta cg_smoothclients "1" ...................shows REAL TIME images
seta fps "1" .........................................you can type fps 0 in console to put it away
seta rate "25000" ................................time in which packets are sent
seta snaps "40" ..................................# of updates you receive from the server
seta cl_maxpackets "100" ...................amount of information sent in each packet

IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO AVOID GOING TOO HIGH WITH YOUR RATE!
Too high of a rate or maxpacket will blow up your machine (just kidding). It will oversaturate your stream and your ping will be huge. So be sure to match your rate to your providor's speed!
dial-up = rate 5000
Cable or DSL = 15000
High Speed Cable or DSL = rate 25000

Hope this helps!
