Comments:

After two years of this game being the bane of my PCSX2 experience, I've finally figured out what's up with this game and have found a workaround that will allow for acceptable performance while playing it.

This game suffers from texture cache issues that cause massive slowdown, so at the start of each mission you must press F9 twice to swap between Software and Hardware renderers in order to clear the cache. Press once to switch to Software Mode, then once more to switch back to Hardware Mode - You only need to do this once per level.
Once that's done, the game runs flawlessly at 2x resolution with no noticeable glitches- though it's not quite fast enough to handle 3x resolution consistently. Recommend using Direct3D 12 with High Blending Accuracy for best results.

Bugs:

On the tutorial mission - right after the opening cutscene - the player may occasionally fall through the ground and out of the level boundary. Restarting the level will fix this.

Update - Aug 6, 2022:
Thanks to the improvements up to and including v1.7.3163 ("GS/TextureCache: Elide copies when source matches target"),
PCSX2's performance in running COD Final Fronts with DirectX 12 on higher resolutions has greatly improved.
For my specs, playing Final Fronts in 3x NativeĀ (1080p) is now a feasible option.

Benchmark ~ Based on rough low-end reading:
Level: Betio Assault - In the first trench line just past the beach.

Old (1.7.2618): 44 fps

New (1.7.3167): 70 fps

Change(s) from previous test:
  • Build Description: PCSX2 1.7.3167 - Windows
  • 3x Native (~1080p)
  • MTVU (Multi-Threaded VU1)
  • Anti Blur

All other options and observations are the same as my previous post.
