MacBook Air and CoD:MW2?

What settings are you running it on? I can't really tell because the video is grainy but from what I watched it looked like it runs well.

Yeah, I'm not sure why but it was extremely bad quality from my iPhone.

I'm doing 720x480 resolution with automatic settings for textures and shaders. I don't get any frame drops even running into a field of smoke.
 
from watching the video, it seems certainly playable for on-the-go type CoD fix. very impressed.

edit: does steam carry your stats when you switch from one computer to the next? I'd be interested but i dont to start at lvl 1 again...
 
What are your video settings? You look like you're getting a better framerate than I get on my 2.8Ghz MBP w/9600m.

I'm wondering about that also. I haven't installed it on the iMac yet, only been playing on the air so I dont know if it carries over or not. I'm at lvl 45 and I really don't wanna restart at lvl 1 again lol

The video doesn't show the smoothness of the game. It's just as smooth as playing on an XBox or PS3, so I'm guessing frame rates are at least 30FPS at the least. It looks even better running it off my 20" Dell External LCD. Here's the exact settings:

Resolution: 720x480

Advanced Video >

Aspect Ratio: Auto
Anti-aliasing: Off
Screen Refresh Rate: 60Hz
Sync Every Frame: No
Shadows: No
Specular Map: No
Depth of Field: Yes
Soften Smoke Edges: No
Ragdoll: Yes
Bullet Impacts: Yes
Texture Quality: Manual
Texture Resolution: Extra
Normal Map Resolution: Extra
Specular Map Resolution: Extra
 
Those are exactly my settings except for AA is 2x and resolution is 1280x800. I also have ragdoll turned off but I don't think that really does anything. I may have to recommend the new 13" MBP to a friend who does a bit of gaming. The 9400m seems very capable if graphics aren't a huge deal to you.

AA will kill performance like crazy. Turn it off and you'll probably find it running better.
 
answering my earlier question, steam does transfer your rank/ stats from multiplayer. Ran MW2 on my late 08 Unibody Macbook 2.4 and saw great results. Seems the resolution of 1280x800 is just too small to play on for long periods of time.
 
NoobTuber :p Ha. Thank you ayeying for all your videos. MW2 is a really good game isn't it. Got it for the 360, might buy it for the pc soon.

So it runs okay on native resolution? That’s really good to hear.

No the OP said 720x480 with no AA - not native res on the Air (1200x800 or so). Basically it can do wide screen SD which for a pretty high end FPS on an integrated card is still cool.

Like the OP also said, any AA will really impact performance...
