Call of Duty: Black Ops III releases this February and the game is currently available for pre-load on Steam. Black Ops 3 appears to be around 54GB 48GB in size, meaning that PC gamers will need at least 60GB of free hard-disk space.
In addition, Treyarch’s Director of Development revealed that the PC version will support FOV values up to 120.

Let’s see how many noticed the typo or this hidden message 😉
Call of Duty: Black Ops III releases this Friday, November 6th.
John is the founder and Editor in Chief at DSOGaming. He is a PC gaming fan and highly supports the modding and indie communities. Before creating DSOGaming, John worked on numerous gaming websites. While he is a die-hard PC gamer, his gaming roots can be found on consoles. John loved – and still does – the 16-bit consoles, and considers SNES to be one of the best consoles. Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2. John has also written a higher degree thesis on the “The Evolution of PC graphics cards.”

Damn, that’s pretty big. Must have a lot of audio and textures.
Lot of wasted space because they’re telling themselves it’ll reduce piracy. It won’t, of course, because with all the money pirates are saving in game purchases they are buying more HDD space and SSDs and everything. /s
But seriously, no sales will be gained with this nonsense, they’re just planning for bluray now so games are going to be that big whether it makes sense or not. Really, Valve should fight this. It’s their bandwidths that are being needlessly stressed by these falsely large games.
yep, it took me 4days to download GTAV, they have to do something for digital games i guess.
COD AW when I got it was 6 DVD’s lol Wonder how many Black Ops 3 will be
Has nothing to do with piracy. If they were trying to combat piracy they would use some other drm. All they use is Steamworks.
campaign, zombie campaign, traditional zombie mode, multiplayer… lots of stuff
“Call of Duty: Black Ops III releases this February”
I think you mean this Friday.
There is more to this than meets the eye 😉
Deus Ex: Mankind Divided is releasing in February, and Call of Duty: Black Ops III boroughs heavily from the Deus Ex series. Is that it or something else.
Februiday.
Uh. It’s 47GB. Granted it might get bigger when unpacked but you don’t know.
FOV 120 is nice but it also needs to allow raw mouse input with no nonsense when it comes to framerate and controls. I highly doubt a console port in 2015 will play well on PC. And frankly, why lock the FOV at 120? Lock it at 170-180, the human limit. I’ve played COD-likes with high FOV before, you do not gain much. There is no balance problem, COD is not about sneaking up on people from behind.
why all of the cod games in the past few years are all ~50GB ? uncompressed audio files ? anyway, you will need 100GB+ because that preload needs to be unpacked.
Wait wait I need to download 54 GB no compressed files at all wtf developers are smoking f**ck my download speed is 240 kbs and I pay 55 $ I didn’t buy gta5 cause of this sh*t so I end up pirating it cause it was 25gb or 30 I dont remember the size I really hate this gen
FOV 120!?!?!?!? I think Dev’s over at Treyarch have been watching Joker Productions on youtube! XD
Possible mod/map tools, 120 FoV what next? They really want to sell us this game on PC this year, but I am pretty much Call of Dutied out…. And this year promises to be the most meh in a long time, it’s basically Crysis/Titanfall plastered on top of CoD.
I think honestly it will sale slow on PC at 1st but if not If it’s as good as all features they are putting back and adding into the PC version well it might be a Top selling PC game next to the Witcher 3. Now I know that sounds crazy but it could happen. Or at least be a top selling FPS game.
Will FOV 120 be enough for my monitor? It is LG 22MP55(21.5” 1080P 60 HZ 5 MS)
120 FOV is more than enough for a 1080p monitor. Actually at 120 FOV will start getting the fisheye lens effect which doesn’t look good.
It is more than enough even for 21,5 “1080p monitors however? Since this is the smallest 1080p monitor that why i am asking. It is a 2014 monitor buy still a 21,5′ IPS 1080p 60 HZ. These currently are the cheapest and smallest monitors as you know. Or does this FOV needs a 23”+ monitor?
Why don’t you buy the disc versions? Unless there’s not much games stores where you live?
very expensive 80 or 90$
