After careful consideration I have decided to transfer all hardware review activities to a new domain. I purchased Hardwareasylum.com in 2012 and have been working hard to build a new and improved Ninjalane on that domain. If you are reading this you have reached one of the archived articles, news, projects and/or reviews that were left behind during the site migration.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2

COD: Modern Warfare 2 is a second installment in the Modern Warfare series and set sometime after the conclusion of COD4. The game is a very fast moving first person shooter that is known for its incredible single player story line and strong online multiplayer community. MW2 is one of the top grossing games of all time. Technology wise Modern Warfare 2 is based on DirectX 9 technology and really shows that game developers can still make incredible looking games from older technology.

MW2 was tested with the following settings. Overall graphic details were set to the highest level along with 4x Anti-Aliasing on to push for the best gaming experience.

In Modern Warfare 2 the 5770 hangs with the GTS 250 and the 4890 pretty well, but was never able to overcome those two cards. The Radeon HD 5770 is still very able to kick the 5670 right in the teeth and keep on playing.

However, once the Radeon HD 5670's are put in Crossfire mode the tables turn and the X-Fire setup dominates Modern Warfare 2 across the board.
