Call of Duty – Black Ops: Cold War Release Details

The upcoming game from the franchise is Call of Duty – Black Ops: Cold War title, which represents the Cold War situation and the sensitive relationship between the US and Russia, which continues to be so even today.

But let’s skip to the details related to the game. Since the advent of the Modern Warfare series, the franchise has rejuvenated itself concerning the graphics, gameplay, sound effects, storyline, and other elements necessary for modern-day gaming.

Compared to its predecessors who had mediocre storylines, low graphic quality, less space consumption, and monotonous style of gameplay, the Modern Warfare series did things precisely the opposite way. It includes intense but short storylines, high graphic quality with fabulous motion graphic effects, high space consumption in storage devices, and a variety of gameplay styles.

For the ‘Cold War’ title, word around is that it will take up a gargantuan amount of memory space even more than the Modern Warfare reboot version, released in 2019. The industry is now switching over to high-resolution gaming, and hence the production of games is happening based on 4K resolution and 8K resolution.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (2019 version) with Warzone installed takes up a total space of approximately 231 GB in HDD or SSD. Based on the PC specifications, the ‘Cold War’ title will take about 250 GB of memory space. Now that’s only for 4K resolution PCs. If you do not wish to go for 4K, then with just a maximum refresh rate monitor, the space that the game will consume is about 175 GB of HDD or SSD. Now that’s just for the start of the game. Treyarch will be automatically notifying you to clear up space up to a threshold for the game to run smoothly and lag-free. You can check out the trailer for the game here:
