As we can see we are talking about pretty affordable requirements, especially with regards to the minimums and requirements for playing at 60 fps. Obviously, for the most demanding or competitive gamers who prefer a high framerate or play in 4K, much more performing configurations will be required.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 will be available from October 28, also for PS5, Xbox Series X | S, PS4 and Xbox One. Activision Blizzard recently confirmed that the phone number will only be mandatory for the PC version of the shooter.
