Question about running "Red Orchestra 2" on my laptop

[Javi]

Well, I'm 23 and pretty computer incompetent in some places. So I'm very interested in Red Orchestra now and would LOVE to play it on my laptop. I currently play Team Fortress 2 on here and it runs pretty good! I get some lag when things get crazy (when a lot of rockets and other explosives goes off, etc.) but it runs well. I'm looking at the minimum requirements and I think I meet them but I wanted to ask people who know more than I if I would be okay to buy this. $40 is a bit to invest on a game that may or may not work hehe.



Here are some of their "Recommended": Processor: Quad Core 2.6 GHz or better. Graphics:

Your machine will struggle to give u a smooth gameplay on max settings. Lower them and it might be ok. Build a desktop for games.

Wish I could. No room for one here, will build one when I move out. Would really like to get this game! If I can't run it on max settings, it's no big deal but hoping for at least some settings under "medium" for it to run smoothly.

I think I have the same graphics card in my laptup and it cant run anything above civilization 4

sorry to disappoint, but unless u bought a laptop with designated video card inside, its value in gaming is low....

Those would be pretty expensive, I bet haha. I'll get a desktop in a few years then no problems! Was thinking of just upgrading this card but thought someone told me that the videocard cannot be swapped out as easily as it would be on a tower. The first Red Orchestra looks fun too.

I have RO2 on my laptop and get decent frame rates. I've got a Phenom 2 3-core, 4 GB, and 5650 graphics. It ran 30-40 fps during the beta on medium settings at 1600x900, but I haven't had time to play since the actual release and see if there's optimization improvements.

Oddly, I actually get better frame rates on my laptop than I do on my desktop, with Crossfired 4870's, 8 GB and a mildly overclocked quad core, even though I'm only running at 720p.
