Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Takes Up 213 GB of Storage

With Activision releasing the latest iteration of Call of Duty, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, the game's heavy memory requirement concerns the fans. While the CPU and Video card requirements seem reasonable, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 will consume 213 GB of the player's system memory, making it difficult for players to install the game. One might think of running the game on the cheaper HDD that players might have installed alongside SSD. According to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3's system requirements, players should run the game on their SSD, excluding the possibility of installing the game on an HDD.

Players can download Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, 3 in parts like COD HQ and Multiplayer, which will account for 79 GB space, while installing 'Hi-Rez' game assets alongside Single-player campaign mode will consume 149 GB memory.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Storage Requirements are Quite Unreasonable 

With Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 early access around the corner, the memory requirement of 213 GB SSD is concerning. Players usually build their system with a 512 GB or 1 TB SSD bundled with an HDD to store miscellaneous content. If a game eats up more than half of the memory available (like in the case of a 512 GB SSD), players will find it challenging to play a game without purchasing a newer SSD. 

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Standard Edition costs $69.99, while the Vault Edition is $99.99. If a gamer's build consists of 512 GB or 1 TB SSD, it would be challenging to fit such a massive game. With Modern Warfare 3 demanding 213 GB, players might have to mess up their budget on new SSDs after spending almost 100 bucks on a new game, making it unreasonable for the players. 

The game is scheduled to launch on 10 November 2023 at 9 a.m. PT, while the pre-loading of the entire game, with Multiplayer, Zombies, and Campaign modes, will be available from 8 November 2023 at 9 a.m. PT. Fans can pre-order Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 to experience the campaign mode a week before the launch and work with Task Force 141 to eliminate the ultimate threat to the world, Vladimir Makarov. 

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 is a direct sequel to its predecessor, Modern Warfare 2, and continues the story right after the event of MW2. Fans can pre-order Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 from Battle.net and Steam to get early access to the game.
