With players gearing up for the Beta for Modern Warfare 3, many have wondered how taxing it would be for their systems. The game is looking to build upon the foundation set by Modern Warfare 2, with its “carry forward” philosophy.

Modern Warfare 3 Beta Download Size
Modern Warfare 3 is preparing for launch, with the Open Beta just around the corner. No matter which platform you play on — PC, PlayStation, Xbox — the download size remains mostly similar, if not the same.
You will need around 25 GB of free space to download the Modern Warfare 3 Beta. However, there is more that players will need to consider. To access the Beta and play the game going forward, players will also need to download and install the Call of Duty HQ app. This piece of software adds an additional estimated 40 GB to the game’s size, according to Activision support.

The final size for the release version of MW3 is as yet unknown but is likely estimated to be over 100 GB in total.
