One thing I was scared of when Black Ops Cold War got announced, was the HDD requirements for the game. And now I can safely say that my fear was viable. You need a whopping 175 GB of HDD space to install the game. That is way higher than what was required for Modern Warfare at launch.
Also, the other requirements are extremely high as well. I mean, you need a GTX 1660 Super paired with a Ryzen 5 1600X, to play the game on medium settings at 1080p resolution. That too only at 60 fps, which is like the bare minimum for PvP games like Call of Duty.
You can pretty much imagine how demanding this game is going to be from this. If you do not have a decent gaming PC, I would recommend that you wait for the benchmarks before you go for the purchase.
