IQue found this information that is on the Direct2Drive website:

•Memory: 2GB
•HDD:12GB**
•Video: Shader 3.0 or better 256MB NVIDIA® GeForce® 8600GT / ATI Radeon® X1950Pro or better
•Sound: DirectX 9.0c-compatible

Just for Comparison, here is Modern Warfare 2:

•OS: Windows® XP (with Service Pack 3) or Windows Vista®
•CPU: Intel® Pentium 4 3.0 GHz or AMD Athlon™ 64 3200+ or better
•RAM: 512MB RAM (1 GB for Vista)
•HDD: Call of Duty®: Modern Warfare® 2 requires an initial hard drive space of approximately 33GB to download and install the game via digital download (11 GB of compressed files, 11GB of decompressed files and 11GB of installed files). Upon installing the game, 22GB (compressed and decompressed files) may be deleted from the hard drive. Please make note of where the compressed and decompressed files are being saved on your hard drive in order to later locate these temporary files for removal.
•Video: 256MB NVIDIA® GeForce® 6600 GT or better or ATI Radeon™ 1600XT or better
•Sound: 100% DirectX® 9.0c compliant sound card
•DirectX: Microsoft DirectX 9.0c

As well as World at War:

•Memory: 512 MB (1 GB for Vista)
•Hard disk space: 8 GB Free

•Sound: on-board or better

So do you think Black Ops is going to be that demanding or could this be a guess so that those that pre-order will not be having to cancel because of their old machines?

Re: Possible PC Requirements for Black Ops Shown

I think the specs are more factual than the ones listed for MW2, I mean 512MB of ram?

Re: Possible PC Requirements for Black Ops Shown

Thats a good point. Maybe they are just giving the 7/vista specs and not worrying about XP.

Re: Possible PC Requirements for Black Ops Shown

I've been waiting to see what these will be...thought about upgrading my gfx card for this one, but I think I'll get the game, see how it plays, and go from there b/c otherwise, my machine plays everything I play now just fine.
