Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Minimum Specs
Is your PC good enough to run MW2?
Yes, you may have been stressed out by the rumored delay of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. Thankfully, that wasn't true. Yes, you might be angry that there are no dedicated servers for online multiplayer matches. Sadly, that's still true.
But will your PC be able to run Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2? Well, that's up to your rig. GameStop posted a box shot of the PC version of the game, which listed system requirements. As it turns out, as Joystiq found out from Activision, they're final and accurate.

- Processor: AMD 64 3200+ or Intel Pentium 4 3.0Ghz or better
- Memory: 16 GB free hard drive space / 512 MB RAM (XP) / 1 GB RAM (Vista)

16 Gb hdd. Games just getting bigger and bigger eh?
Don't buy it. They spit in the faces of loyal PC gamers for the sake of profit, whatever they might say the reasons are for their decisions.
Heh. Impressive "minimum" system requirements...
I'm actually surprised they are that low, I was hoping for a bit more (granted they do amazing things with even those low specs). I watched the teaser videos, and honestly they did look better then CoD4 but not a whole lot. For comparison, here is CoD4 PC Minimum Specs
System:
Pentium 4 2.4 GHz or faster or equivalent
RAM:
512 MB
Hard Drive Space:
8000 MB
Other:
GeForce 6600 / Ati Radeon 9800Pro or better
Which are roughly the same...
i won't support what they did to the gaming community.if i play this at all and a big if it will be free.
...and no dedicate servers.
Pass
yehey not gonna buy and replace a 9400GT cause i can game!

WTF?
@Infinity Ward: F### YOU! Won't be buying it as for not giving us Private servers.
you could run that on a graphing calculator
No PC gamer in their right mind would ever buy this game. $60 for a short single player and hobbled multiplayer? F that.
Myself and thousands of others will be choosing to spend our money elsewhere. Way to go IW! You're a winner!! If I was the CEO at Activision, people would be getting fired for loosing my company millions of dollars in potential sales.
My computer far surpasses the minimum specs, but I wont be buying it. I want dedicated server support.
Those are some pretty low system requirments.
pretty much the same as COD4 but a 5-10% increase in requirments.
Meaning its just an upadted COD4 engine without dedicated servers and a 60$ price tag with a SP thats just as long as COD4 sad 6 our story.Pass...Maybe Ill buy it whens it like 30 bucks and patched to have dedicated servers.
it doesn't require much big specs becuase it is just a crappy console port, especially now that it doesn't have mods or dedicated servers. there isn't anything to differentiate them
I had actually considered buying this game
...until I found out it wouldn't have dedicated servers.
Here in Europe this wonderful game is 60 Euros on Steam. That's 90 American dollars. Now that's what I call entertainment...
I am a PC and Console gamer and I am very upset on what IW is doing. This game might be a great and fun game to play but I and thousands of other gamers will not be purchasing this. There are petitions out and a mass boycott that is in the process. I found a petition that you may sign at hellselite.com. In my personal opinion this game is now not worth the purchase and to the rest of you do not wast your money either.
Thank you to all for reading this.
I will not buy this game. No dedicated servers or mods = no purchase.
Well, Hopefully my ASUS P5K-E with 4 gigs ram. Intel E8400 dou 3.0 ghz and my NVIDIA 9800 SGTX will run her good. Sure it will. BRING IT ON. THIS WILL BE EASILY GAME OF THE YEAR FOR SURE.
And no dedicated servers is a kick in the balls though. Bad move forsure.
owe well, just got to wait till march for battlefield bad company 2 on the pc....
two weeks before it's time to go to mininova! I can't wait.
oh quit whining people. it's a damn game. play it or don't. stop getting all uppity about your "beliefs" as a gamer. you're a gamer. not the freaking pope. your "beliefs" are irrelevant to IW, and to the vast majority of the rest of the world.
fact is, this shouldn't be about them not including your precious private servers. It's for dicussing the specs, which, for a brand new game, are quite low, which doesn't suprise me, as COD4 had similar specs. you know why they're low? BECAUSE INFINITY WARD WANTS PEOPLE TO BE ABLE TO PLAY WITHOUT HAVING TO HAVE A 1000$ COMPUTER.
any schmoe can slap a post-2006 video card into an older machine, and be able to play. enthusiasts will get the benefit of better visuals, and faster gameplay. which is FAIR. you spend the money for a high end rig? you get better performance. that's simple.
quit bitching. we get it. it sucks. stop repeating the same damn thing.
req too low. not wasting money on it though unless they bring back dedicated servers and mods..

True, IW doesn't care about our beliefs. But what they DO obviously care about is money, but they just don't get it. They try and save money by shafting us, but instead they loose 150,000 x $60...$9Mil (so far, but growning rapidly) from the petition for dedicated servers. We'll see who gets shafted more.
Well, I was looking forward to this game, but without dedicated servers I definitely won't be buying it now.
Ok I plead ignorance. Why is everyone so PO'd? What did the publisher do other than not providing dedicated servers? Please explain. I have little time to keep up with these things but I really enjoyed COD4.

If you posted that just to show everyone your system specs...fail. You are on a tech enthusiast website and the system would be considered avg for most of us on here.
all you dweebs look for any little excuse to pirate a game. waaah it doesn't have dedicated servers waaah it has DRM. you were going to pirate it anyway, don't pretend this is just part of your high and mighty crusade against evil IW. what a joke.
Show everyone system specs? What? I'm green and confused. Time for another toke. At this point the only thing I'm sure about is what the internet is for...
Won't pay money for this shitty console port, and COD isn't exactly demanding.
Bah, stop whining over the lack of dedicated servers, just means less potential for cheating / hacks. In the short term you'll have to play on infinity's servers, big deal. In the long run we all know there will be multiple workarounds, pirate servers, modded versions of the game, etc.
Really not something to worry about.
