Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War reduces system requirements.
The new romp through a Soviet era timeline has gotten a new specs table. In the words of Dr. Hubert J. Farnsworth "Good news everyone!" The hardware requirements have been scaled back (although the finished game is still massive. Let us Compare.

The requirements haven't changed for video but we see that the CPU requirement's have dropped dramatically with a slight cut to system memory (potato gamers rejoice). The Multi-player has gone up but can we just take a minute to admire the shear size of the full game. It is truly massive. Kind of scary for those who have smaller SSDs.
