I strongly have to disagree on this. Especially when it comes to a game like CoD with lots of setup options for controllers and graphical settings, I find Steam Cloud very helpful, since it also stores these setup files online, so if you ever switch your machine (or lose the content of your HD for whatever reason), your preferred settings are automatically applied again on the new computer.

You can of course deactivate this if you want to, but I wouldn't be able to think of a single reason to do so...
