We're all eagerly awaiting Modern Warfare 2, and luckily we'll be able to enter the beta on September 16th, but since it's only for PlayStation players for now, the question is: What are the PC system requirements for Modern Warfare 2 and how powerful does my PC need to be to play the game reasonably smoothly? Don't worry my dear PC friends, thanks to a blog post we already know the Modern Warfare 2 PC system requirements and I can reassure you, as long as you don't play on an Amiga anymore, Modern Warfare 2 should run on your computer.

Modern Warfare 2 Beta PC System Requirements

Seriously, for some reason Activision always manages to optimize the annual CoD releases so that they are still playable even on years old computers. So unless your PC is 10 years old, you shouldn't have any problems with Modern Warfare 2.

As you can see, the PC system requirements for the Modern Warfare 2 beta are not particularly high. We expect that the recommended system requirements for the finished game in particular might be a bit higher, but if you don't have any issues in the beta, you should be set for the full release at the end of October.
