Call of Dutyy 4 low specs - Image 1So, you’ve always wanted to play Activision and Infinity Ward’s excellent Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare on your PC but your system just doesn’t have the spec muscles for it? There might be hope. The guys over at PogHX tried running the game on several lower-end setups and they found out that it’s playable on even some on-board chipsets.

A Gigabyte MA78GM-S2H with an integrated 780G graphics unit and a frugal Athlon 64 X2 4450e were in the forefront of the test system for PogHX. Throwing in a GeForce 8400 into the mix, CoD4 ran at 36 frames per second on minimal settings.

Other variations were tried and the group found out that the game would still be playable on systems that could make it run on as low as 22 FPS. Of course, you’ll have to make do with rougher visuals than you’re used to seeing in the game. Below is a table that was included in the source.

Oeter Moore - Image 1Lately, we’ve heard Take-Two chief Strauss Zelnick talk about how 2K Sports titles are out-rating EA Sports games in reviews. The feisty remarks drew a lot of attention from fans and the media, and EA just might have issued an indirect response.

In his blog, EA Sports boss Peter Moore stated that claims about their games earlier issued may not have been straight. He cited the following high points of his division during fiscal year 2007. Quoting Moore:

  • Four EA Sports titles get Sports Game of the Year nods by various outlets, including FIFA, NCAA Football, Madden, and NHL.
