50gb?? Maybe I should have bought a bigger SSD. Oh...wait...I have no interest in CoD. Phew.

Same here, cannot stand it! Battlefield 3 & 4 all the way!!

50Gb... so does that mean they are shipping it on like 4-5 DL DVD's?... It's starting to get like the FDD era where you had 15 disk installs

I wonder when they are going to start shipping PC games on BR as well.

It would have to be soon as it's released in November

This must surely be on a Blu Ray disk?

That is the only option they have, unless they start sending out pre-load disks and rest is a download

Those requirements seem an odd set - lots of ram but you don't need a good cpu or gpu? Really?

Silent_Scone · 9 Oct 2013 at 11:49

It's just occurred to me that's quite a lot of space on my Steam drive lol...

6GB RAM must be a mistake.

And optical media is dead.

The reason its 50gb is because the disc is full of DLC which you'll have to pay to unlock at some point.

Basically they're just going to carry on using the same crappy Q3:TA derived game engine - but with amazing textures! You're be able to see all the pores on the blocky characters faces!

Lol. Imagine the clarity of the "mash the x button to win" prompt when it pops up several hundred times now

A 50GB quake engine... interesting

You're not being a danny today are you?

780GTX with a E8200? Fail

The whole genre has been taken over by kids, one of the worst gaming communities there is. I play it now and again online when I'm round my mates as he has it and it never fails to amaze me some of the stuff I hear screeched over the mic.

They can shove their 50GB up their arse for all I care.

One of the reasons I gave up console gaming tbh, couldn't stand hearing the little ***** anymore!!

Am I the only person that just plays COD single player campaigns?

Orangey · 9 Oct 2013 at 12:10

Maybe they'll have some new tech that detects squeakies and auto-bans them.

50gb not many ***** pirates will be grabbing that .

With BT fibre that's less then an hour and a half. It'll be pirated as much as any other game. Maybe more actually because the PC gamers tend to swing to BF for multiplayer but still find the CoD single player alright.

OMG I remember them days.

I also remember how frustrating it was using tapes only to get to the end and it say it got corrupted while loading and then having to sit and wait for it to load all over again.
