Well I'm going to buy modern warfare 2 soon But i'd like to know if it would run decently on the lowest settings with my very old and very low budget PC Specs: AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+ 2ghz 1gb DDR2 RAM GeForce 8500GT 256mb (probably wrong section but i thought it was more about hardware than about mw2)

Modern warefare 2 isn't worth a hay penny, so yes your PC is easily worth more. Just read the OP, now. Who would buy such a sell-out shithole milked series continuation of a game that was ruined after the second original call of duty.

" bandwagon.

I started playing on vetran and I haven't finished yet. But that's mainly because i'm lazy and I don't have time anymore, this game is really good.

But yeah, you can run it, just not that great.
1gb more ram is gonna net you a hughe performance increase for a small price. Also MW2 is a Great game.
Most PCs can run MW2, it's not a demanding game. But it is a shitty one, don't buy it.

but i have to try it, i have tons of friends that tell me everyday about how this game is awesome :v:

Go spend $50 on a good game, then use the left over $10 for something else.

Here's my specs AMD Phenom X3 Triple Core 2.3GHz 2GB DDR2 Ram 512MB Radeon HD 4350 I run the game at 1280x720 at medium-high settings, and I get a good 20+ FPS ( single player, which is smooth enough.) COD4 runs at the same settings but at a 30-40+FPS
[QUOTE=BlueSaint;19571703]Like a game off gog.com[/QUOTE] Or 2 games from gog.com It really does sadden me when the gaming public doesn't mind paying an extra $10 for a game that has less content than it's cheaper predecessor. The industry is heading for another crash, I can smell it.
No don't get it for pc there is aimbotters every few games and iw.net is terrible when I'm with my buds it takes 10 mins to find a game.
I'm running with an 8600 at 1024x768, normal texture settings, specular map on, max is around 90fps, 30-40 average so an 8500 can't be that bad. The CPU is an E4400, also 2 gigs of ram (667mhz).

The industry is heading for another crash, I can smell it.[/QUOTE] You obviously haven't played MW2. There is MORE content. The singleplayer may be shorter and shittier(Hey lets rehash some of the levels from cod4 because people liked them), but the multiplayer is excellent. The gamemodes work perfectly, kill streaks are no longer annoying and overpowered, shotguns have a use, there are around 40 weapons(27 in cod4), each with a whole bunch of attachments to unlock, they improved the perk system(You have to be doing badly to use juggernaut/marty/etc). There is absolutely no way you can claim there is less content in the multiplayer. They even included a useless title/emblem system, with a shit load of them to unlock. You get XP for just about everything now too. The only real problems are some of the weapons are a bitch(Akimbo Model 1887), and the lack of dedicated servers(Although if you play with friends the likelihood is one of you will be picked as host). The matchmaking works well apart from the occasional hiccup. Obviously it would be nice to be able to pick your own map, but most of them are fun and you can always leave before the game starts. Play the game before you comment.

No there aren't, I've been in one game with a cheater(Out of ~210 games). Can't really comment on your matchmaking problem, it's usually very quick with 3-4 of us.

I have an 8600GT. Well, the 512mb variant. And 2Gb of [b]DDR[/b] (not even DDR2) RAM. If mine can run MW2, yours can just about. Just keep it low-res. Also, if you're not scared of possibly frying your PC, and have decent cooling + PSU, you can overclock that CPU to 2.5GHz. I've been running my X2 3800+ at 2.5GHz, x10 FSB. It runs stably enough, and an extra 500MHz per core is... helpful. Your PC isn't -that- shit. Okay, maybe specs've got absolutely awesome since I last built a cheap PC, but mine is pretty similar to yours and I bet you I've had it for longer, and still keeps up (albeit only just) with new games.

I bought 15 games off amazon for 5$, and they were even some more modern games like mercs 2 and shit, I enjoyed every one, I got every ghost recon, an a lot of other old games that are nice. X3reunion, Enemy territory: quake wars, commandos: strike force,rogue trooper (this one is really fun, good story too) and an ass load more. So with some carefull buddgeting and website choices you cold easily buy 100+ games with 60$.
enough threadshitting mates don't derail this thread just because I wrote mw2 that would suck [QUOTE=TehDoomCat;19574477] Also, if you're not scared of possibly frying your PC, and have decent cooling + PSU, you can overclock that CPU to 2.5GHz.

NES games were 80 bucks why do you guys think 60 bucks is too much for a game?
You should be asking "Is shitty MW2 worth my pc"? it'll run, bad , but it will
