At 1280x1024 we are so far off GPU limitation that not one card is in any shape or form a limitation. This is what the COD engine does well, it's a broad platform for pretty much any graphics card out there you can play this game at 1280x1024 with extensive eye candy enabled, which includes 4xAA on anything above GeForce 9600 GT and Radeon series 3000 3870.

Final Words

As the results have shown, for very little money you can play this game with any reasonably modern graphics card. An outdated graphics engine surely ensures that a large user base can play the game, all I can say to infinity Ward is 'job well done' The game does still look good, but yes .. we'll also acknowledge that it could have been better.

Gameplay wise I adore this series and I can't wait for MF3 for that matter. The single player campaign is playable in 5 to 10 hours fairly easy, which certainly is a little short. But then you can choose other modes (Spec Ops) or go hunt each other down in the now totally steam bound multiplayer. The one downside of the game (on the multiplayer side) is that it is tied to Steam -- which brings along too many limitations.

In all honestly -- COD MF2 is not what the original COD MF was, no Sir, but it still is a classic, a top notch game. I don't do ratings often but I'd definitely give this one a 8.5 out of 10 points -- for the single player side of things though.
