Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 system requirements for the upcoming public beta have arrived, and they won’t leave your gaming PC battle-worn. In fact, you’ll be able to run the futuristic FPS game spin-off using a GPU from seven years ago, so you won’t have to grab one of those fancy RTX 4000 graphics cards when they arrive.
