Unlock FPS
- The below .ini tweak is only applicable to the multiplayer portion of the game. Singleplayer actually remains locked at 30 FPS, even though the frame counter will display a higher framerate after this tweak.[4] To play the singleplayer campaign with more than 30 FPS, run a local dedicated server, found in the Steam Library in the Tools category.[5]

Editing the configuration (autoexec.cfg)
See the following pages for more info: Tweak Guide and Smoother Config
Rank Cheat
- Most online players are veterans and, as such, new players may find difficulty competing in matches. A guide available here shows you how to unlock the highest level instantly. Note that this does not give an unfair advantage, as it merely unlocks existing items in game, and doesn't conflict with anti-cheat systems so long as the "hack" part is performed in single player.
