It looks like the I2500k is going to be like the duocore e6600 in 2006. Even cheaper. Can you imagine a $250 cpu running at 5ghz on air? If CoD is not geared toward more than 4 core's and one gpu one could built a smoking machine for less than $800 if you allready have a case and powersupply. If they later optimze it for SLI you can add a gpu. If it uses all 6 cores you can go AMD and still havea cheap solution.
When Il2 came out it took some expensive hardware to run it properly. There might be some good thinking behind Oleg's release strategy. Pull the masses in on affordable hardware. Once they're hooked they'll upgrade in order to be able to play the next installments. Give them a few new graphics features every installment and everyone stays interested.
