The initial set of hardware requirements for Sledgehammer Games’ Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 has just been announced, and it’s not at all surprising to see. Broadly speaking, it’s just a small notch above 2022’s Warzone 2.0 system requirements, which implies that most players enjoying Modern Warfare 2 shouldn’t be too worried about whether Modern Warfare 3 would run reasonably well.

These specs were changed from the previous info
One bit of curiosity: prior system requirements were they are sourced from an official Activision announcement that has since been pulled from publication. Nothing necessarily novel about this entire shindig, then, but one has to wonder why Activision would pull the info a little while after it’s been published.
