You can copy your Black Ops 7 settings straight into Modern Warfare 4, so you do not have to rebuild your keybinds and graphics from scratch. It takes a few clicks in the Settings menu, and MW4 even reminds you about it with a notification. Here is where to find it, what it copies and what to check afterwards.
- Go to Settings, then Account & Network, then Import Settings under Online.
- Press Import From Previous Title and confirm. It imports from Black Ops 7.
- Keybinds, graphics and other matching settings come over.
- Imported values replace what you already changed in MW4, and some gameplay settings reset to default.
- The import only applies to the device you are playing on.

The import copies the settings MW4 has in common with Black Ops 7, such as your keybinds, graphics settings and other supported options.
Import before you start tweaking. Imported values replace any changes you already made in MW4, and some gameplay settings that conflict with BO7 are reset to their default. Check your gameplay and controller settings once more after the import.
The import only applies to the device you are playing on. If you play MW4 on a second PC or console, run the import there too.
Once your settings are in, jump into DMZ with our DMZ Orders guide, or see everything we know about MW4.
