System requirements are critical information for a gamer who wants to download or buy a game. After all, it is in this small tablet that all the indicators are laid by which you can determine whether it will be possible to launch the game on your computer or not. Every time a new interesting game comes out, gamers are eagerly awaiting the announcement of system requirements in order to understand whether they should spend money and time, because this or that project may simply not start on a computer that does not meet the requirements. Another outcome is likely - the game can slow down significantly, which will not allow you to fully enjoy the process. For example, you can take the Call of Duty series, and specifically - parts of Modern Warfare, the system requirements of which were quite high for that time.
Series "Call of Duty"
This series began its reckoning more than ten years ago, in 2003 - it was then that the first part of the shooter was released, which then gained such incredible popularity. The first games of the series were dedicated to the Second World War, in which the gamer was assigned the role of a soldier of the allied forces, and in this role he had to go through certain stages of the war.
In the course of the game, a story unfolds, telling about some real and made-up characters, the hardships of wartime, and many other relevant topics. After the first part, a second and then a third appeared, which once again confirmed the incredible popularity of the series. But even then, developers began to think about how to change the focus of the story, because you can not stamp games on the same topic and remain successful. Therefore, the idea came up to transfer the "Code" at the present time, which led to the creation of a new direction in the series, the system requirements of which will be discussed.
But before you start talking about Modern Warfare, the system requirements of which will be described in detail, it is worth taking a quick look at what machines should have been those who expressed a desire to play in the first parts.
Requirements of the first three parts of the Code
In those days, system requirements were very sparing when compared with modern developments. So, the first part of the “Call of Duty” required only 600 megahertz with 128 megabytes of RAM. What can we say about the video card, whose memory was supposed to be not 32 megabytes. And at the same time, a fully installed game took up only 2 gigabytes of hard disk space. It is difficult to imagine such requirements in modern times, because now even computers of such power are no longer manufactured, as are the components for them. And compared to Modern Warfare, the system requirements for the first three parts seem like a real paradise.
The first part of the modern trilogy
It all started in 2007 - it was then that the developers decided that it was time to tie up with the themes of the Second World War, and the first part of the new trilogy saw the light of day. Initially, this project was not conceived as a trilogy, so the name was Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. The system requirements for this miracle of needlework have jumped significantly compared to previous projects. The processor now had to issue a frequency of at least 1.8 gigahertz, which is three times higher than the first part of the original trilogy. RAM was also needed very impressive - as much as 512 megabytes. Everyone remembers that the first part required only 128, so that progress is noticeable.
Naturally, the reasons for this were understandable - the new game was outwardly many times better, more realistic and more attractive than the old games. In many ways, this became possible thanks to the use of a video card with 128 or 256 megabytes. For Modern Warfare, the system requirements seemed clearly overpriced, but in reality they justified themselves. Many people have even upgraded their computers to install this game. But they did not expect the following parts to progress at an accelerated pace.
Continuation requires even more
The second part of the game gave gamers not the most pleasant surprise. The system requirements of Modern Warfare 2 turned out to be simply heavenly - the same processor was supposed to support not just 1.8 gigahertz frequencies, but three. Naturally, in order for the game to work on the computer, this computer would be easier to replace. The RAM bar rose to the level of 512 megabytes, and the video card now consistently required 256 megabytes. But the free space that was required to install the game on the hard drive was especially highlighted - an incredible 16 gigabytes. Previously, more than twenty games could be recorded on this disk space, but now it is a drop in the bucket. For the second part of Modern Warfare, the minimum system requirements were not set, so everyone had to adapt to what is.
Final part
In the last part of the trilogy, the developers decided to pity gamers. Thanks to the development of technology, it became possible to improve the game without increasing its requirements. That is how Warfare became available to the general public. The system requirements of the third part obliged the gamer to have a total of 2.4 gigahertz of frequency, 2 gigabytes of RAM and 256 megabytes of a video card.
