as we get closer Modern Warfare 2 Launch, more mysteries are being solved. One of the unknowns is the PC requirements for the game. While the beta specs are fairly modest, we’re not sure if they’ll apply to the final version.
Infinity Ward has now answered all of our questions and is offering not one, not two, but Four Set of PC specs for different configurations.
The PC version of Modern Warfare 2 looks to have received the same level of attention as other Call of Duty games in recent years. Because it will support a wide range of options, including ultrawide resolutions and higher frame rates. It will also launch a new version of Activision’s proprietary Ricochet anti-cheat on day one.
Modern Warfare 2 also supports cross-play and multiplayer cross-play across all platforms, including PC.
Before we get into it, please note the note about high resolution asset caching. This is a space for storing textures and other assets that Modern Warfare 2 will stream during gameplay. This option can be disabled if storage space is insufficient.
None of the specs have a framerate target, though, but it’s roughly 60fps.
