Now, Activision Blizzard has confirmed the pre-load dates for Modern Warfare 2. As per the earlier leaks, preloading for MW2 will start at 10:00 AM PT or 1:00 PM ET on the 19th, which is today or tomorrow, depending on where you live. The publisher clarified that this is exclusive for the single-player campaign. You’ll have to wait until the 26th to preload the multiplayer and special ops. In addition to this, MW2 will be available to play at 9:00 PM on the 27th, which is actually the 28th for most of us. Also, the publisher went into detail about the PC requirements for MW2, which you’ll find below: Minimum:

Unlike the basic PC requirements revealed a few weeks ago, this goes into the specifics of what it is you’ll need to run MW2. For what it’s worth, it’s not the most unreasonable, unless you’re looking at the Ultra 4K category. Either way, you will need to have Windows 10 64-bit with the latest updates installed to run MW2 on your PC as well as a phone number.
