These are higher than the recommended CoD CPU specs which are:

Intel Core i5 2.66GHz or AMD Phenom II X4 2.6GHz

I am no expert, but how/why is this? ROF is an older game (albeit not that old), so shouldn't it be less demanding? Or is it testament to the coding skill of Oleg and team that they have managed to get more from less? Or is there simply more detail in ROF?

I think this reflects Oleg's policy of making the game usable on a wider range of PCs, and thus available to a larger number of users. That's good marketing sense and also suggests to me that the coding is good.
