Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is officially the best selling game of all-time. For any gamer that loves the First Person Shooter genre it is

THE game to own right now. It has killer graphics, cool gameplay and new weapons. In contrast I have heard a few negatives about it like the single player game is too short and the online play is not as good as the original Modern Warfare. Still, that will not hold me back from buying it this weekend.

Before you rush out to buy it I strongly urge you to check to see if you at least meet the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 system requirements posted below. If you have a laptop odds are it will not be compatible and you cannot upgrade it to make it compatible, the only exceptions are expensive, high-end gaming laptops. If you have a desktop PC you need a pretty decent one to at least meet the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 minimum system requirements.

If you are unsure of any particular computer specification you may have that is not a problem. Just follow this tutorial and it will show you how to find all your PC system specs.

MINIMUM System Requirements
• Operating System: Windows XP, Vista or Windows 7
• CPU: Intel Pentium 4 3.2GHz / AMD 64 3200+ or better
• RAM: 512 MB on XP / 1 GB on Vista and Windows 7
• Graphics Card: 256 MB nVidia GeForce 6600GT / ATI Radeon 1600XT / or better Shader 3.0 video card
• DirectX: Microsoft DirectX 9.0c
• Sound card: 100% DirectX 9.0c compatible
• Hard Drive: 12 GB free space (33 GB of initial space if you are downloading it)

RECOMMENDED System Requirements
• CPU: 2.4 GHz dual core or better
• RAM: 1 GB on XP / 2 GB on Vista and Windows 7
• Graphics Card: nVidia GeForce 7800 / ATI Radeon X1800 / or better Shader 3.0 video card
• Co-op/Multiplayer Hosting: To host Co-op or MP matches, a 2 GHz dual-core or better processor is recommended

What is the difference between the minimum and recommended system requirements for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, you may be wondering? The difference is that if your computer just meets or barely exceeds the minimum requirements it you will be able to play Modern Warfare 2 only at a low resolution and minimal graphic settings, for smooth gameplay. If your computer meets or exceeds the recommended requirements you should have no trouble playing Modern Warfare 2 at medium to high resolution and matching graphic settings, depending on how high-end your PC is.

Below are 2 videos from YouTube. One of them is the official Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Launch Trailer and the second is just full of gameplay footage. These videos sold me on the game, they’re awesome.
