Call of Duty Black Ops 2 system requirements out

Treyarch have upgraded the DirectX 9 Black Ops engine to a “leaner” DirectX 11 edition that promises “significant improvements” for us PC players. The updated engine should make more efficient use of GPU power, and will have “more quality vs. performance options than ever before.” The upgrade means that it won’t run on Windows XP, which is really good. Windows XP is outdated, people need to upgrade to Windows 8. There’s no frame rate limit either.

Treyarch says this:"Black Ops II PC features enhanced lighting, shadows, antialiasing, bloom, depth of field, ambient occlusion, and other enhanced effects that are still in the works. And the game can run at higher resolutions and higher framerates on the PC.”
