The wait is over!

We're pleased to announce the current minimum system requirements to run WAR at launch.

15GB?

 15 Gig's huh.....well I don't know about AOC but WoW is getting close to that. 

I just deleted AoC earlier this week, and that sucker was 25 gig. 15 is reletively trim for a top tier MMO these days.

This mean that installation will be 12-13G. Its absolutely normal for modern game.

Keep in mind I imagine the inactive framework for the other cities is in the build so 15 gig is reasonable.

My AoC folder:

25,2 GB (bytes: 27 106 377 728)

15GB sounds fair enough. Also requirements looks little lower than AoC. I hope that there is some decent optimization done and it will work well with plenty of peeps running around.

I am running at a 3.0 ghz with 2 Gbs of Ram.  I had problems with Tabula Rasa.  They should list the Recommended settings also.  That is what you want to go for.

15Gbs is no biggie these days.  You run out of room, get an external usb drive.  They are fairly inexpensive anymore.  I think we are moving into the best of the MMO fields for gaming over the next 2 years.

You want recommended specs? Well what are recommended specs recommending? The best specs to play the game? The specs to play the game decently welll?

The recommended specs for the best possible play will always be the best possible hardware out there. Quadcore, 9XXXX series card(ATI equivalent) SLI/Xfire, 4gigs+ DDR3 Ram, etc.

What would I have to run the game? Top end 7xxxx or mid/top 8xxxx card. 3 gigs of ram. 3.2ghz Dual core processor.

As you can see, recommended can mean different things to different people. If you aren't going to RvR a lot then what you need to run the game is different then somone that will be doing 500vs500 battles.

well, least I know my laptop wont fry from playing this game like it did for AoC lol

This is great news. This game is going to rock!!

128 MB card for an '08 game? Yikes.

I have an AMD processor, hope that does not mean my life will stink..

Laptops in general are a bad idea if you want to do any gaming, simply because integrated graphics cards, which the majority of all laptops use, are a different beast than the normal video cards that are tested for support by the game developers.

I haven't seen a AAA title release in years that had quality support for integrated laptop graphics cards, it was usually a case of, "if it works, we are so happy for you, but if it doesnt, sorry, not much that can be done for you".

Not to mention Geek Squad is about as trustworthy as Dr Nick from Simpsons when it comes to anything.

*cries*

What about us mac people? Well, at least Blizzard understands us...

Sorry you got screwed bomj. Geek Squad doesnt have a freaking clue. I bought this laptop almost 2 yrs ago and it has 128mb card. My issue is I need to get it upgraded to 2gig ram (which is no big deal). Plus I have a new laptop on the way. This one will be for work, other for home. I'm like you, looking forward to WAR except not really screwed. This laptop ran LOTRO on medium at 20+fps so I figured it would be fine for WAR.

 If anybody still using specs as low as that, they should just throw in the towel now as a Pc gamer and get their Xbox out. The only good thing you can do with a Pc spec that low is use it as a door stopper.
