Is Call of Duty: Black Ops based on the same engine as Modern Warfare 2

call-of-duty-black-ops

I am planning to get black ops, but I need to know that my machine will be able to play it. The typical system reqs that they have offered on steam are not quite decipherable to me, as I've got a Macbook Pro and despite my initial expectations, MW2 runs fine on it in bootcamp with xp-sp2. I'm just curious as to whether or not Black Ops will run at around the same quality.

Also, I would like to know if they are based off of the same engine and if so, what modifications have been made? (which would answer my other question)

Hey man, I'm in the same unsure position as you. Macbook Pro 2.66 core 2 duo 2.72 GB RAM Nvidia 9600MGT BOOTCAMP

It seems that everything is fine and can be handled by a Macbook Pro except for the CPU. "Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 or AMD Phenom X3 8750" seems to translate to a 2.93 core 2 duo which may be a problem unless you have one of the newer slightly more powerful Macbook Pros.

Hope this helps.
