Franchise still as popular, despite the weight of the years, Call of Duty is preparing for a new opus, on consoles and PC.
Unless very unlikely last minute postponement, Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 will be marketed on November 10 and its publisher – Activision which has recently fallen into the hands of Microsoft – is taking stock.
A point which, for once, focuses on the PC version of the action game. The opportunity to see the recommended configurations in more detail while players complain about the gluttony of recent titles.
Not far from 150 GB of disk space
First observation, we will still need to have a nice storage space to accommodate the latest addition to the Beenox studios. Indeed, no matter what level of graphic detail you want, it’s always a matter of having at least 149 GB and on an SSD please.
Note, however, that to simply discover the game’s multiplayer mode, 79 GB is sufficient and even only 38 GB if CoD HQ is already installed. In the same way, to play multi/solo duo, but if CoD HQ And Warzone are already installed, only 78 GB is required.
Activision and Beenox point out in passing that content that becomes useless after completing the single player can be easily uninstalled to only access the multiplayer mode and CoD HQ.
Far from being the most demanding
For the rest, it is on the contrary interesting to note that Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 appears relatively sober. From “minimal” configuration to “competitive/4K ultra”, it’s almost reasonable.

Note also that Activision and Beenox mention recommended graphics drivers (537.58 at NVIDIA, 23.10.2 at AMD), but above all that Intel graphics cards are completely neglected just as AMD’s FSR is not mentioned while the DLSS 3 from NVIDIA is on the menu.
PC master race ? Necessarily…
To perfect things, Activision and Beenox of course do not fail to detail the “release program” with a nice map to clarify the launch times… knowing that the preloading of the game will begin exactly 48 hours before.

And since a big release would be nothing without its pre-orders, Activision has planned a whole bunch of “rewards” for its most loyal customers: early access to the campaign, Zombie operator appearance for Ghost, Reaper tracer weapon blueprint souls, Sworn Enemies operator pack, 2 weapon chests, BlackCell (season 1) + 30 additional level passes.
Finally, all this would not be complete without, after the 9 minutes of gameplay already revealed, a proper trailer to salute the excellence of the PC version of Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3which promises to be the most successful.
