Also, I am just wondering... Does your laptop have a feature called "Nvidia Optimus"

Edit: Also check the power settings on the laptop (where the battery icon is) to make sure its on "Max/High Performance"

This sounds weird but I actually think the battery thing was the problem. I just ran MW2 at 70 FPS when I put battery performance at max. Was this really the problem? I didn't know the setting of the battery affected the games performance by that much...Damn. Seems like an amateur mistake on my part.

Well glad I was able to help lolll. But yea that is sometimes the issue... If you look at the "advanced power saving settings," There are settings that limit your cpu/gpu usage to 50% 25% and etc so that may have been the issue

Okay well then I just wanted to know one more thing. Is it dangerous to leave my laptop in high performance settings for too long? I usually have my charger plugged into my laptop so battery life isn't an issue but I worry that if I am constantly using high performance settings, will it reduce the life span of my Laptop? Thanks for all your help.

Its not dangerous per say but it just creates more heat for your room... I have an old Asus laptop with old nvidia card and I leave it on in "Entertainment mode" Which basically means it can use 75% of GPU and CPU vs high performance mode uses 100%

If anything it will decrease the life of your battery but in terms of hardware... Not really since your laptop probably will not use 100% your CPU/GPU all the time... So you can leave it on high performace without damanging all of the parts

You can also customize the settings so that if your unplugged, it will switch over to say Balanced Mode but when ur plugged back in... It will automatically switch back to High Performance mode
