Activision has made available the single-player campaign of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 to everyone that has pre-ordered the game. As such, we’ve decided to test it and from the looks of it, PC gamers are in for a treat.
For our 4K tests and screenshots, we used an Intel i9 9900K with 16GB of DDR4 at 3800Mhz and NVIDIA’s RTX 4090 Founders Edition. We also used Windows 10 64-bit, and the GeForce 522.25 driver.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 ran with over 100fps in native 4K and with Extreme settings. Do note that we were using the default FOV, which is around 80. For PC gamers, we highly recommend increasing it to at least 95 (this will decrease overall performance though).
During the first two main missions, we did not experience any stutters, and the game was silky smooth. Not only that, but the game looks absolutely stunning. Below you can find some screenshots in 4K/Extreme.
It’s also worth noting that the game supports NVIDIA DLSS 2, AMD FSR 1.0 and Intel XeSS. Therefore, we’ll have some benchmarks and screenshot comparisons to share this weekend. We’ll be also capturing a native 8K video on Extreme settings.
Enjoy and stay tuned for more!

nice
No Ray Tracing though which is a real dissapointment.
Once you get to the daytime missions you start to notice how low resolution a lot of the textures are, I am very dissapointed as the previous MW looked better as I have just finished replaying it.
MW1 was PC, X1 and PS4
MW2 is PC, X1, PS5, XS, PS5
Development is spreaded thiner for MW2 , remember, what made CoD the champion of console multiplayer was that while most games in 2007-2008 struggle to maintain 30fps on the PS3, CoD Multiplayer was always solid 60fps on both Xbox 360 and PS3, even the worst optimized CoDs are stable 60fps on consoles.
I honestly only care about the campaign.
What? You listed PS5 twice unless you wanted to say PS4, and also this doesn’t in any way justify the game looking worse than the old one which was last gen only.
yes i meant PC, X1, PS4, XS, PS5
And im not saying it justifies it, im saying that that is the cause, there hasn’t been a single studio working on 5 different versions of a game at once in which the game comes out and it works and looks great.
Good to know that a $1600 graphics card can run a pewpew game at 100fps.
is this still online only?
Yes
…And always online DRM bullshit.
Big L for AB.
Why is every modern AAA washed out in grey?
It looks horrible in the 2th and 12th picture especially.
It’s like the game is being filtered by a bad LCD, it’s uncanny, feels like it’s poor implementation of PBR, but I could be wrong.
Skipping this one because of what they did to MW1. I gave in and bought the game when my 3090 was new. They bundled that stupid a*s warzone with it. You could remove the single player stuff from warzone but you could not remove warzone from the MW1 MP or Single player game. Every time the game needed to update I had to download over 100GB just because of warzone. Then they hid all the multiplayer for MW1 behind layers of warzone. I couldn’t even find the regular MW1 without googling how to get to it. Never again.
If you have money for a RTX4090, you have money to buy some battle passes too.
Get this game!
