I would hate to see developers take into account the fact that the majority of pc users computers aren't good enough. We can't wait for people to catch up because their pc's are outdated. A good pc is an investment that'll pay itself back with time. Look at games like ark survival evolved. The specs needed to run that originally were awful but the game still saw huge success. Fact of the matter: great games will warrant an upgrade. You would all do it for BOP3 mod tools in the end
As much as I agree, there are a lot of ways for pc developers to allow for both high and low end machines to perform
Hence why i was surprised half the people here can barely run waw, and attain that they wont be able to run BO3
Turn your resolution down, and turn off all the extra bells and whistles ( anti-aliasing, occulation etc ), It should run, no excuse not to. Albeit, far from the quality a high end machine may present
The biggest impact is usually just in reducing rendering distance, or amount rendered on screen ( IE resolution )
I remember back in the MS-DOS days, youd go buy a game - it literally couldnt run at all. Youd just have to deal with it, as PCs were not cheap back then, I had tons of games i never even got to play, or that would only work for very brief periods
Your choices were, earn a better unit, or dont play the game
