Modern Warfare 2 tests our Short Attention Span



Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 [MW2] for PC is one of the big titles for the year. This game has had much press time as it has gone from eagerly anticipated to hated and back again. The game is the follow on to the exceptionally popular Modern Warfare [hence the "2" in the title]. In it you take on several roles including one of a new "FNG" [Freaking New Guy] who gets coopted into super-secret unit that naturally covers highly critical operations around the world. But is this new game from Infinity Ward able to grab you and pull you in like its predecessor? MW2 has some rather big shoes to fill so let’s quit talking about it and see if it can get them on and still run.

Package
MW2 comes in a variety of packages and editions we picked up the cheapest one [we were not on any sampling list]. In reality there are probably too many for us to cover here[including a Steam version]; so we won’t.  But no matter which version you chose you will get what you need to play.

Installation
With an installer [including all packages and CABs] of roughly 11GB, MW2 can take a few hours to download and few minutes to install. The record for the installation time on the systems we placed it on was just under 20 minutes from start to being ready to play this was on a Intel's Core i7 Extreme 975 system with a 128GB SSD [Patriot Torqx] and 6GB of DDR3-1333MHz RAM. On our mobile gaming platform it was a little longer at 25 minutes.
