Will your PC be able to take on the new COD? We break down the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III PC requirements here in our blog.
Set in the aftermath of Modern Warfare II, this game continues the story of Captain Price and Task Force 141 as they confront ultranationalist Vladimir Makarov’s forces. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III will also feature all 16 launch maps from the 2009 release of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II, and many more.
A note about the Hi Rez Assets Cache:
The requirements mention a Hi-Rez Assets Cache. This is a way of using some additional disk space to stream high-resolution assets to improve performance. It’s optional and can be turned off in the game’s settings.
