I'm considering to install Windows 7 on my macbook pro. But can it run the follwing game?: Call of duty modern warfare 2.
Mac features:
2,5 GHz Intel Core i5
4 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Intel HD Graphics 4000 1024 MB
OS X 10.9 (13A603)
MacBook Pro
If you consider playing, I'd advise you to install Windows by bootcamp, and not in a virtual machine.
You'll be able to play any game any comparable pc can play. I don't knw prerequisite for CoD2, but if it's OK on a i5 pc with HD4000, it will be ok on your mac.
Some thoughts:
1) There is a Mac version of COD 2--I have in on my i7 iMac. No need to install Bootcamp just to run COD. I bought COD2 through the App Store. US$20
2) Notebook computers run hot--no room for open air paths and big cooling fans---hotter than an equivalent desktop. Therefore not the best choice for gfx-intensive gaming. In Bootcamp--at least for me--Win7/64 runs hotter than Mac OSX by itself. Add a game and you could see therrnal safety shutdowns.
3) Your specs sound like you have a 13-inch MacBook Pro. It has only one fan and it is small.
I recommend finding the COD2 for Mac demo FIRST. Here are some sources:

However, DO NOT download from CNET or Softonic. They are packaging cr@pware with their downloads that will trash your browser. ( http://www.thesafemac.com/continue-to-boycott-softonic/)
See how the Mac demo runs under OSX. That what I did before buying the full version, It is quite a nice game.
Can i play games on my mac if i'm installing windows 7?
