This game's minimum requirements is Windows XP, but with a simplish code change, it can run in Windows 98.
Only DX7 is playable on my P4 3.4ghz, Nvidia FX 5900 PC. Us FX folk don't like talking about DX9 👀.

The best cod ever made. I remember playing in a S&D Tojane 24/7 server for hours
To get it working in Win98, you first need to install a non-steam copy of CoD2 on your modern computer, run the game at-least once (For both multiplayer and singleplayer), create a profile, quit, and then manually copy the CoD2 install directory over to Win98.
You may want to change to DX7 or adjust the video settings before running it on Win98. The profile config files are located in installdirmainplayers\<The profile name you just created>. If you tried changing your video settings using your modern computer, the game will likely crash, so best to edit the config files instead.
Here are some relevant config variables;
>seta r_rendererPreference “dx7”
>seta r_mode “1024×768”
>seta r_aspectRatio “standard”
If you’re using patch v1.2 or v1.3 (latest), the Punkbuster files will cause a crash, so delete the “PB” folder if you see it in your install directory. If you don’t see it, you’re on v1.0, which doesn’t have PB. PB is discontinued so it’s no longer required.
[Follow these instructions to patch your CoD2MP_s.exe (Multiplayer) or CoD2SP_s.exe (Singleplayer) executable file to fix one more crash.](https://pastebin.com/dcfk5kxM)
PC multiplayer is still pretty active these days, for a game this old.
