So I just recently got COD2, after catching a few problems. (namely A Pc Doctor caused installation problem, and a COD2MP run problem) I finally got it to load up. It lags a lot however (even in single player!?? WTF? ) So I figure it sounds like I need an upgrade to something. All the hardware on the computer is factory hardware. Just wondering if anyone could help me figure out what I need to upgrade to enhance my COD2 experience?

If you could post the specs of your pc, we can see the weak point

that should be fine for cod2. Have you turned down your graphics at all? A program that always helps me out when my computer is feeling sluggish is CCleaner. It's free too.

your system resources may be delayed through other programs. check if u have any spyware active or that u have other software running while u play cod2. open task manager to see what software is taking up cpu power.

Like tirade said, your system is pretty decent. You could probably do with a video card upgrade but you could get by with just lowering the settings. Check out my cfg thread in the cod2 section

I did end up getting it running however; I had to disable my sound card. (Which was GAY) I think I'll try to convince everyone that they want XP on this computer. Its a family computer. Yeah anyway I'll see how that goes. As for now I'll just probably stick to COD 1 and worry about 2 later. (At least I don't have to rebuy the game.)
