I have Mw2 and Battlefield Bad Company 2 on my Laptop.
Both games run good but Mw2 loads up 3x faster and does not lag like in BBC2.

Which one should I buy? ( I want to play online now. Got tired of single player!)

COD Mw2 or BBC2?

I have Intel HD with i5 so these games work fine.
Which game out of the 2 is better online.
(I cant afford both games so I downloaded :()

I haven't played MW2 but I imagine BC2 isn't that far off, MW2 has (so I hear) not much for vehicles, and has killstreaks that give you deus ex machina abilities.

But there's one reason to do BC2: Preparation for Battlefield 3 in november. There will be some similarities I imagine.

Both are good choices, but neither games will hold a candle to Grand Theft Auto 4 if you're looking for realistic modern combat.

BC2 is hands down a better game, in my opinion...then again, I played a ton of COD4 and about 5 minutes of MW2, and that was on the PS3.

Will my i5 be able to handle BBC2 MP without lag?
I play COD Mw2 on my i5 single player and it works awesome.

Ugh. Out of the two, Mw2 will be more of a fit for your system. The large MP maps + lots of stuff going on in BBC2 will destroy that Intel onboard video. It's much more intense than the short single-player side of it, and you'll also be repeatedly murdered by people running 1920x1200 and higher who will be able to see you and kill you before you even know they exist. Mw2 has much smaller, tighter maps, and a lot of close-up in your face run and gun action. You'll still lag a lot with that crap (lack of) video card, but you'll at least have half a chance.

BBC2 is a much better MP game in terms of team-oriented play, better graphics, vehicles, etc, but it's not advisable for your system.

Is it a desktop? Because at this point something like a Radeon 5670 1GB would rock your world, and wouldn't be too pricey at all.

Thank you for the detailed reply. I was looking for a harsh but true answer and you gave it to me :)
I guess I will have to get Mw2 for online game play.
I have a Acer Aspire 5742 with i5 4GB 500GB HDD and Intel HD Graphics.
