Looking forward to checking the beta out, mainly for the visuals. For some reason I always play CoD games on PlayStation, which is weird since FPS’s I typically always buy on PC.
You’re checking it out for the visuals but playing it on PS4? I don’t get it…
I’ll play it on PS4, but only so I can sell it once I blow through the campaign.
No, this beta that I said I’m looking forward to checking out is for PC. Not PS4. But if I didn’t make it entirely clear, I’m going to give this a go for the PC this time.
The campaigns bore me. It’s like that for a good number of FPS’s that are linear. I eventually force myself through them.. but this looks like it would be pretty cool.
HDD: 25 GB HD space
Whoa! Looks like Activision discovered compression in 2017.
*clap* *clap* *clap* *clap*
25 GB for beta. Let’s wait for the full version.
Hopefully it won’t be another 60+ GB just for basic game, just like BLOPS 3, where basic game with all dlc consume over 160GB of disk space.
infinite warfare vanilla over 80gb!!!
Well most of game data are *.pak and *.iwd files which are just *.zip files without any compression.
12gb ram?
? At this point 12 isn’t much. Most system i see have 16gb.
its not much i have 16gb im more shocked about the fact that game needs that much
It probably doesn’t. game Dev’s typically inflate the minimum sys. reqs to play it safe.
It seems playing safe is reducing your player base possibilities.
Most people ignore ram reqs. anyway. Also, 12 is the recommended, not minimum.
Lol
Well indeed for a game like CoD it’s alot. Wonder if it’s actually needed.
Optimized for the Xbox One X… 🙂 , joke aside I don’t know anyone that does not have 16 gig of ram on their gaming PC. I think you are shocked it needs that much(or rather can use that much) and so am I.
As a dev I really like to know what they are doing that your main exe needs 12 gig of ram(or in general how they are utilizing all that ram)? I generally use the GPU memory more than anything else. Hmmm… now I really wonder.
I have 12. Congrats now you know someone.
Cool 🙂 , hahah. Well if it really needs a lot of ram the price is not that bad these days for an upgrade.
I think you will be totally fine since you have 12 and generally the RAM requirement takes in to account windows uses like 3.5 gig. No one really lists what the games exe uses only as the requirement for that could mess up a lot of users. Will see in Oct.
Your friends list must be very short if you don’t know someone who has less than 16 GB of RAM.
8 GB is still the norm for most mainstream PC gamers, only a handful of games recommend more.
Nothing of that will matter unless they provide dedicated servers.

whats so funny?
Must not be very up to speed on computer hardware if you find that hilarious. i5’s 2nd or 3rd gen and later are still good enough.
the open beta for console (PS4 & Xbox One) is done long ago (early September to be precise), only PC that late for open beta.
“According to Activision, the PC open beta of Call of Duty: WWII will support… G-Sync monitors”
So did they not mention support for FreeSync monitors?
Paid advertising maybe? Freesync works without no support at all. Gsync also.
I suspect you’re right on both counts.
Must’ve forgot. Freesync and gsync works on everything regardless of the dev.
Except windows store bcrap, they had to actually “make it work”…
Same thing every damn time. “FOV SLIDER” says nothing.
On previous CODs the slider goes “up” to 90 meaning the maximum setting is barely playable on the average PC gamer’s screen. The rest of the slider is irrelevant unless you want a headache.
Huh very cool, I will be checking it out for sure and plan on getting the full game.
I really think this will be a whole new COD and it looks like they are putting a lot of effort into it(which is cool). Also most importantly it seems the PC version will own.
this better be sarcasm.
It’s not and I am an indie dev on top of that, I guess I should make fun of COD and call it sh|t even if this version turns out to be good. I am not loyal to any game/IP if I like it I like it, if I don’t then I don’t. Its really that simple.
I know it is fashion to hate COD and I am not a hard core COD player but this looks/sounds good so I like it. The Zombies, story trailers, graphics, gameplay all look good this time around. Also that they are putting effort into the PC version(like Destiny 2) makes it that much better.
Sure the game could suck and if it does I will refund it but from what they have shown so far it’s the first COD in a very long time that I am really interested in.
Will see in Oct.
It looks like the same damn thing they’ve been delivering every single year for a decade. You said “a whole new COD”. That’s funny because that’s also something they kept saying during this decade, year after year after year. How is this new? What’s new? When the player dies he drops in an animation that may literally be from Modern Warfare or even Call of Duty 2. I’m not exaggerating, it may well be the exact animation and they just kept it for over a decade. Even Quake has ragdoll physics now and COD still uses canned death animations. I’ll give you the graphics. The graphics look contemporary. But the gameplay is the exact same tired, repetitive, brain-meltingly stupid affair as it has been this whole time.
I’m also irritated by your assertion that Destiny 2 on PC is receiving “effort”. The game’s performance is terrible and it’s a console game through and through so even if the tech were admirable it would still be a shoddy console port…
“It looks like the same damn thing they’ve been delivering every single year for a decade” you can say that about almost any IP, if a game changes too much its not the same IP. So what do you want from COD a tennis game? How is BF1 any different than the last BF game its not other than graphics and theme. That is like saying Street Fighter should be different then the last game or Halo, Tekken, Forza, GTA, God Of War, Dark Souls etc.
I am pretty sure you like the Dark Souls series, so was 2 and 3 sh|t cause it was pretty much exactly like 1 but with better graphics, weapons, levels, monsters etc? It’s sort of pointless to say any follow up resembles the last game so it sucks for that is sort of the whole point.
The quality looks different to me for all the modes, that is why I said it looks like a new COD. Of course it is going to play like COD anyone that thinks it will not is insane. As for your animation beef you can say that about almost all AAA games.
As for Destiny 2 not performing well on the PC everyone I know thought it was well optimized to the point it was almost PC Gears 4 level. Heck I can run the game on Ultra at 5760×1080 on a single 1080 Ti, MAX FOV, AA, > 60 FPS with a lot of extra GPU resources left over. Yeah you are right it is a total console port… did you even play it what do you have a Geforce 480?
Sounds like you need a hug. Just don’t get COD then if you hate it that much and be done with it there a hundreds of other games to choose from.

Still looks like a game straight out from 2007.
Lighting is better than CryEngine 2 could have supported and the textures wouldn’t fit on the graphics cards from back then. But as hyperbole the comment is fair. Graphics had one brief push from last-gen level onto the current level with the new, underpowered consoles. But it actually hit earlier on PC since the PC version of Crysis 3 already featured nearly everything current-gen games continue to do now. Add new UT to that and you’ve already seen the peak of what we will get until the fourth Xbox and fifth Playstation come out.
Don’t fool yourself. Look at actual CoD 4 screenshots.
12GB RAM. lolzzz
at most it will use 8gb
