I played Ghosts with a Celeron G1620 and HD 7750 and it was a fair journey only when loading between stages audio was behind but the rest worked ok, nothing like ultra but just a higher resolution and some tweaks on advanced graphics. This one will be playable too. Sys reqs are half lies half truth.
 
Just like the last cod, my 6850 maxed it out and running them in crossfire simply allowed me have the cards running at 30-45% instead of one running at about 60-70%.

The problem with the last COD was that you could not run at 1920x1080 without turning certain texture settings on. Even if you picked that resolution, it did not run at it and the game looked terrible. Once I figured out how to run at a real 1920x1080, the feel of the game was only marginally better. Acceptable for the standard 3 years ago maybe..

It amazes me that my rig can barely run crysis 1 comfortably and have the game look much better than the new games yet the new games require more hardware. Simply amazing. I really wish developers went with Crytek more often.

That said, why does this game need 6GB of ram again? The last one used 6GB of ram and it was an outrage but this time no one is picking up on that. If you only need a 5870 (or weaker NV card) with 1GB of vram, why would you need 6GB of ram? Especially when games like Crysis 1 can look better and use less system ram. This game is a joke.
 
Xbox console...... PlayStation
any 2.5ghz core2dou with an nvidia 8800gt 2006 pc will play this better than any console on the market today. heck even slap in a gt640 and i bet it will still smear the consoles graphics by 2X.

and wow 55gb of memory. 10 years ago, that was the size of a hard drive.

10 years ago i was sporting a 250GB western digital caviar with 2MB cache and another one with 8MB cache they were priced like the 2TB WD black drives are right now. it's nothing to fill 3TB's of video of your kids sports games per season these days. i've got about 300TB's of video on GB/8GB SC cards of just driving around for work so far this year.

the system requirements remind me of diablo2 when it came out with it's 4GB hdd space requirement and the expansion making it another 4GB D2 was worth it tho.

the online requirement needs to be kept at a MAX of 1/2 a MB at all times. there's no excuse for anything more than that and the latency should be capped at a max of 150ms because that is the average most internet companies will support since the cloud went live and everything from video games to netflix and iCrap started sucking the life blood out of the internet connections. any iTard device in your home instantly kills any broadband connection in one if not both areas of latency and or MB/s
 
Pfft I wouldn't let someone pay me to put this crap on my PC. GTS 450, you mean it requires that beefy GPU to run this lol. Money better spent on Far Cry 4 for PC.

No no no. Both next gen consoles have 8gb of RAM, and GPUs roughly equivalent to a 7750 (XBO)/7850 (PS4). Couple that to the lack of OS overhead compared to PC, and that the developers can optimize for a fixed platform, and the actual PC equivalent hardware is even higher than those aforementioned components.


And judging by EA's previous CoD titles for PC, the PC port might be horribly optimized, further increasing the hardware equivalent on PC vs the consoles.

Edit: Excuse me, I meant Activision, not EA.
 
CoD will never be as well optimized as Battlefield 4 and Battlefield Hardline. Activision needs to learn from EA if they want to step up to the plate. 6 GB RAM required, like, seriously? Battlefield 4 has modest requirements and even a flagship 2007 PC can run it.

As if. No money, no honey.

All the hate, i will give it a good couple of months to watch peoples opinions sway and the patches fix stuff and then i will probably grab it, looks like fun to me.
 
Hey? At least it has Kevin Spacey in the cut scenes? That's probably all we'll see on the commercials for this game. The COD folks aren't really big on showing actual gameplay in their advertisements (and we know why), but maybe they'll get LeBron James or someone else who's super-famous or someone really, really ridiculously good-looking to be in this round of commercials?
 
internet connection required steam accounts origin whoever 's not being crammed down my throat I may concider paying money for a game

remember when you did not need all that and things were just fine with out it ?? and I bought there games too boot ... but I guess them having full access to your hard drive is what there after cause why else would you need to do all that??? go figure
 
Wow my PC could run that with it's eyes closed. 55 GB for a COD game seems a bit scary when BF4 is only 30. Guess I'll stay with Battlefield. Better game anyway.
