This config will improve your computer's performance while playing.
In mine I removed the crosshair stuff from the Other Settings section.

Copy all that into a notepad document and save it as "autoexec.cfg".
It is recommended you dedicate half of your system memory. Below is the recommended usage:
512MB System Memory: -heapsize 262144
1GB System Memory: -heapsize 524288
2GB System Memory: -heapsize 1048576
4GB System Memory: -heapsize 2097152
8GB System Memory: -heapsize 4194304
All of this is CAL compatible. You can use it for matches.
I hope you find this useful guys.
Good game.
