Maybe with every setting set to low? I'm not sure if that list is very helpful, not very handy when it comes to computer specs etc.
You should be able to run, whether it will be playable is a different matter. I'm sure that if you configed the game to some ultra low settings you might just have a slightly responsive and barely playable game. Expect like 20 fps at a very low res or something
Like Alen said, run it on the lowest settings possible. If you can, and know how to, try to overclock it a bit as well. (Although if you're not sure on this don't do it, better safe than sorry.) The only thing that might really hold you back is the 4 GB of ram and your video card. That being said, for best results make sure NOTHING other than what you really need is running when you play the game. (Also, this shouldn't need to be said but make sure your system is clean, remove things you don't need, maybe even run the disk cleaner.)

At the moment I'm wanting to play the campaign. Would it lag in campaign because idk why but other games that have both campaign and online play, the campaign doesn't lag whereas online would I might try find a torrent then possibly buy the game for PS3

I don't know how to overclock but I'm sure others here will be able to tell me also the 4GB ram is wrong, my lappy came with 8GB ram

Hmm, I think it should be alright, don't expect the highest settings with like 60+ fps. But, you should be OK to run the game.

i5-2430M (non-K) CPU on an OEM motherboard with QM67 chipset and a 6370M. That's about as unoverclockable as it gets.

I haven't yet played through the whole campaign but I'm pretty sure that some online maps are far larger than anything int he campaign. Dunno how much that would impact performance though

RAM doesn't matter as much as the gpu does.

I think GPU OCing was being talked about, I don't see the CPU being the limiting factor here

Read other posts not even gonna buy it... wanting to torrent it and possibly buy it for PS3
Overclocking your CPU won't help.
Plus it's a laptop, don't think you can really OC that.
You should just build yourself a good gaming rig
