Looking to get that extra edge, or play at the fastest speed possible or best possible? Check out these settings you can input into your console in TF2 to tweak your gaming experience.

cl_interp .0152

This command decreases the response time of your clicking of the mouse button, to when your bullets come out of your gun, by 16 times. This helps mostly with soldiers and demomen, but can also help with other classes. The default setting for this is set at .1000

rate 60000 (Default 50000)
cl_cmdrate 66
cl_updaterate 66
cl_smooth 0 (Default 1)

These settings helps to smooth out your gameplay by increasing your framerate capability.

Hope it helps! Get out there and get fraggin!

What are the normal settings for these in case someone inputs them and doesn't like it, or they have a worse problem? That way they can set their game back to the way it was.

This makes me feel like a pro , for this and more , you deserved the advisor thingy :D <3
 
I never noitced anything different when I entered it, do I have to enter it when I get in game, or does it automatically save or do I have to enter it each time I get into TF2?
 
Thanks, I can tell a slightly noticeable difference with no problems so far. I just put them in my autocfg.cfg file.

Okay, wow. My DH skills have improved ridiculously. Thanks for this!

I have had to put these in each time i start tf2, in the console. Im working on figuring out how to set them as default settings when tf2 starts.

Wouldn't placing them in the autoconfig file do this?

Try right clicking tf2, go to properties, and then launch options. Then just put everything in there, that could work.
 
C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\yournamehere\team fortress 2\tf\cfg

look in "Program Files (x86)" for 64-bit systems.

Right click on autoexec and select "Open with". Set this to Notepad and check the box to always use the selected program to open this type of file (*.cfg files). Once in Notepad, make all the changes you want.

If you want to get clever, you can put stuff in other cfg files and call them from autoexec using the "exec <filename>" command. Here's my autoexec:

Code: 
//tf2 version
unbindall
//mat_queue_mode 2
cl_cmdrate 50
cl_updaterate 150
rate 30000
cl_interp .01
cl_showfps 2
alias "fixit" "record test; wait 100; stop"
alias "fastwpn" "priwpn"
alias "priwpn" "slot1; alias fastwpn secwpn"
alias "secwpn" "slot2; alias fastwpn priwpn"
con_timestamp 1
//exec botsintro.cfg
exec keybinds.cfg
exec admin.cfg
echo "autoexec complete"
the "//" indicates a comment line. I use this to test out new things and disable subroutines without having to delete the command. Mat_queue_mode has been giving me problems since the last update so I disabled it. Once I troubleshoot and resolve the issue, I just delete the "//". Saves me the trouble of remembering what that cool command was that I had to delete.

A few of these commands exist in your config.cfg and can be edited there so you can always be sure you have the correct setting. The commands that are not found in your config.cfg can be added.

I wonder what spidEY's config looks like. Probably this:

Put it in your autoexec.cfg file with your admin pin.

EDIT: Didnt see page 2... :P

I've found increasing the cl_interp when using hitscan weapons (sniper) helps me a bit, I use around a `cl_interp .03` when sniping. And using a cl_interp as low as you suggested for projectile weapons is ideal.
ymmv.
