The PC system requirements for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III have been officially announced. This new installment in Activision Blizzard's flagship series is set to launch on October 23 this year. The currently published specifications are for the Beta test version, but the final release is not expected to differ significantly.
Although the game has abandoned previous-generation consoles and fully transitioned to the current generation, leading many to expect a significant increase in PC hardware requirements, the actual specifications are lower than many predicted. The requirements are divided into minimum and recommended tiers, making them quite accessible overall.
The minimum requirements are far lower than previously anticipated, indicating that Activision Blizzard has put considerable effort into optimization. However, the developers have not specified the exact performance achievable with these specs. Given the low barrier to entry, it is speculated that the game should achieve a smooth frame rate of 30 FPS or higher at 1080p resolution with very low graphics settings.
As for the recommended specifications, the developers have not provided specific performance metrics. However, it is expected to run smoothly at 1080p resolution with high or ultra settings, so there is no need to worry about performance bottlenecks.
