This is probably old news for any PC gamer. But in case someone missed it. And i doubt any PC gamer really cares anymore :D

Very low reqs...why are the games that have low reqs that can easily play in my PC the ones I'm not interested in?




I could probably run it at max settings, 1920x1200 at 60fps, but that doesn't come as a surprise to me, really. >_>

Hehe yeah i could probably do it aswell. But im not buying it until DS is fixed.



I would have cared more a week and a half ago before I learned that MW2 has the quality of a PoS on the street corner.

@Zexen

Of course it will be like MW1 more or less. I don't see console's specs being upgraded from their obsolete tech.

It's cross-platform with the consoles.  Since the consoles have the same exact power they did 2 years ago, the PC version will get (roughly) the same graphics/specs.



Yeah....

it's either a blizzard type technique of awsomeness to have great games with low specs....

.... or it's PC gaming paying the price for not being the bigger FPS market anymore... (moneywise).

I think it's the latter...unfortunately. (my 6 year old comp can play this...)



OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO

really low system requirement.Don't think they put much effort of the look,design,graphics of the game.Most effort goes into Gameplay

Let's see...I have XP...ummmmm. Nope to get the other system specs I'd have to spend a good $1600. That's 2 PS3's worth of hardware to be able to play a game on PC I can get on PS3.

Yes my PC is 7 years old, and it wasn't a gaming spec'd PC at that time either. But we've had some great times with some great games. It's even got a HDD the same size as my PS3.
