Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 PC specs detailed



Ahead of its imminent release, the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 team has detailed its all-important PC specs.

In addition to these specs, Infinity Ward has also announced those who pre-ordered the game digitally will be able to get their preloads on the go from today (19th October). This will in turn offer up those eight days of early campaign access announced in August, which will go live tomorrow.
