I've been seeing conflicting reports online, and before I go and install a ton of things, I would like some input as to whether or not I would be able to run the game on my computer under Bootcamp. If someone could also give me a recommended Windows partition size that would be great too. I have Windows XP Pro.

SPECS:

Macbook pro, OSX 10.6.2
Intel Core Duo 2.5GHz, 2 cores
2GB RAM, 667 MHz
249 GB HDD
1440x900 display
 
I'm running Modern Warfare 2 on my 13" MBP
2,26 Ghz, 4gb ram, 9400m...
I'm playing it at 1280x720 with everything set on high (no anti-aliassing)
Verry good game!;)
(sorry for my bad english)
edit: i'm running win 7 64bit under bootcamp
 
I run it on an 17-inch MacBook Pro with 2.8GHz, 4GB RAM and the 9600M GT with 512MB RAM.
I set it at high and run it with a 1680x1050 without hiccups under Windows XP SP 3.

You'll be fine.

what frame rate do u get?
 
Should I buy?

Hi,

I'm running boot camp (Windows XP SP3 - but I think I have 32 bit, not 64) through my regular MacBook. Here are the MacBook specs:

2.4 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo
2 X 1 GB RAM 1067 MHz DDR3
NVIDIA GeForce 9400m
250 GB HD

How am I looking?

you might want to turn down the resolution and graphics, i think it should be somewhat playable.

I'm running it on a MacBook Air and it has 0 frame drops and its smooth as butter. Pretty sure his 13" MB with a higher clocked 9400M would do better.

Would I run into any problems being that my Windows is (I think) 32 bit?
 
If u r going to do games, keep in mind many games are 5gb to 10gb install per game, add about 20gb for windows and required free space.
 
hey everyone, im a new user and i run into some problems:(. I just installed windows 7 32 bit through bootcamp on my macbook pro and all seemed to be running well but now i get an error saying: directx has encountered an unrecoverable error. i dont know what to do, i have the 13 inch pro and it seems like someone in this thread has it running perfectly on theirs so i dont understand what the problem is, any suggestions, please help
 
All I have to say is I have everything maxed out (including AA)… game looks absolutely sweet!
 
Ive got the new 21.5inch iMac.

Intel Duo 3.06ghz
500gb hdd
4GB ram
Nvidia 9400m
Windows xp sp3 under bootcamp.

I can run modern warfare 1 on the lowest settings, and get 100+ frames in some parts, but in others, it drops down to 38-45. And still, other times its 60-79. I have no idea why, but if i turn shadows, anti aliasing, ect on, i get horribly laggy gameplay, and 20 framerate. (any ideas why?)

I dont know if the mac version of modern warfare runs any better, and i also dont know if modern warfare 2 will run any better.

Because your system's videocard isn't beefy enough to render all the fancy stuff and keep a steady framerate. That's why turning off things like shadows, anti aliasing, texture resolution (and overall resolution in a pinch) will give you better framerates

COD MW2 on iMac using VMWare Fusion 3.0.1

Hello everybody.

If I want to play modern warfare 2 on my iMac using Fusion software 3.0.1, the graphics do not work. I did the settings on cores and cache to the maximum and also clicked 3D graphics. And still it does not work. Did anyone experience a similar problem. Does it work with bootcamp instead ?

My hardware>
iMac 8,1
3.06GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
4GB 800MHz DDR 2 SDRAM
NVidia Ge Force 8800 GS

Well I downloaded it and its working and I dont have any specialist software on my mac....

Anyway, some levels work ok others are just really slow and jittery I guess its the amount of scenery, people, cars etc variables in each level. Im just wondering if there is anyway to improve the performance, I dont have any other programmes running, any ideas?
