Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 vs Hitman: Blood Money: which should you buy?

For Filipino gamers, the choice between Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and Hitman: Blood Money depends on your gaming preferences and PC specs. If you want a longer campaign (22 hours average) and enjoy competitive multiplayer and co-op modes, Modern Warfare 2 is the clear pick—it also has a higher Metacritic score (86) and is available on more platforms including Mac. However, it demands a beefier PC (3.2 GHz CPU, 1 GB RAM, 256 MB GPU, 12 GB hard drive). Hitman: Blood Money is a shorter, single-player-only experience (2 hours) that focuses on stealth and offers both first- and third-person perspectives. It has a slightly lower Metacritic score (82) but runs on much older hardware (1.5 GHz CPU, 512 MB RAM, 5 GB hard drive) and is available on GOG for DRM-free purchase. Neither game includes price data, so cost comparison isn't possible. If you have a modern PC and want replay value and multiplayer, go with Modern Warfare 2. If you prefer a concise stealth shooter and have an older system, Hitman: Blood Money is still a solid choice.
