    I can't imagine it playing well on high settings, but on low with a lower resolution it would probably run.

    Unfortunately, that's still unlikely to yield adequate performance. The 335M in the R2 is, at this point, 4 generations old, and is at the lower end of the performance spectrum, even within the 3XX series of mobile GPUs. I have an R3 myself, and the 540M inside it is already struggling with new titles (playable performance, hardly all that great, however). Keep in mind that the 540M is decisively more powerful than the 335M, and I've overclocked mine by a slight bit.

    The R2 is really starting to show its age. It's still a great notebook, but its gaming performance is no longer up to spec. Even the R3 is 2 years old at this point, and having trouble keeping up in mid range performance. If you want to play most modern games at higher fidelity, you'll likely have to move to a new system to use as a primary gaming machine.

    I've m11xR3 (in my sig @
    ) and I think I have this game so I will try to run it and will see whats the performance like. most newest games so far I've been impressed it ran pretty smooth on medium to med-high settings.

    It should run, unfortunately it won't run on the highest settings smoothly.
