Listen, no matter how much post-launch content you’re peddling, 175GB is ridiculous. What if someone has a cheap gaming laptop with a 256GB SSD? Their drive will literally be fried over one game, and even if someone has a 512GB SSD, that’s nearly half of the drive. Here are some huge AAA titles with excellent graphics that don’t take up nearly as much space:
Grand Theft Auto V: 72GBWitcher 3 The Wild Hunt: 35GBMiddle-earth Shadow of War: 70GBQuantum Break: 68GBMetal Gear Solid V The Phantom Pain: 28GB
Come on, Infinity Ward. A game as huge and as beautiful as Metal Gear Solid V asks to take up a only 28GB of storage. Even a game as crazy realistic as Red Dead Redemption II is going to take up 150GB, which is somehow still less space than Modern Warfare. Outside of the minimum storage space, here are the rest of the requirements to play Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare minimum requirements
Requires DirectX 12 compatible systemOS: Windows 7 64-Bit (SP1) or Windows 10 64-BitCPU: Intel Core i3-4340 or AMD FX-6300Video: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 670 / GeForce GTX 1650 or Radeon HD 7950RAM: 8GB RAMHDD: 175GB HD spaceNetwork: Broadband Internet connectionSound Card: DirectX Compatible
Overall, the minimum specs are pretty slim, but you shouldn’t ask anyone to take up 175GB of storage, even if it is post-launch content. If you want to go all out, running Modern Warfare at 4K with Ray Tracing at a high frame rate, then you’ll need this: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Ultra RTX requirements
Requires DirectX 12 compatible systemOS: Windows 10 64 Bit (latest update)CPU: Intel i7-9700K or AMD Ryzen 2700XVideo: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 SUPERRAM: 16GB RAMHDD: 175GB HD spaceNetwork: Broadband Internet connectionSound Card: DirectX Compatible
However, unless you’re delivering the biggest game to ever exist, there’s no reason for this crazy hard drive requirement. Optimize your game, Infinity Ward. Credit: Activision
