Please, try to use your minds sometimes, it might help you to better understand things. Also, there is the "DX9 on the box" issue.

Looks like someone has been drinking the 1C kool-aid! Umm.....no. First of all, you can get a card that supports DX10 for $30 dollars. These people that you think can't run it because of the video card DX9 deal, your saying that they have a dual core or quad core set up for the other requirements? If they do, then I think they can afford $30 for a DX10 card, if they can't afford that, then they have way bigger problems in life other than not being able to play COD. Some folks need to use their head before typing the first thing that pops in.

Technically, COD works in DX9 mode now. I tried it awhile ago when I was benchmarking and testing. It doesn't work well, but it will launch and play, so they have already made the box requirements. The box doesn't say "Optimized for DX9 with silky smooth performance" so they are in the clear. Don't believe the hype.
