I just went off an article I saw not tried installing it yet

I'm pre-loading now, it's 82GB.

I'm tempted, though I'll need to wait for my new toys to arrive so I have enought space!

Surprised to see no throttling this time of the evening :eek:

76GB here, heard it can be more with texture packs however.

XeNoNF50 · 11 Nov 2020 at 19:00

The download was somewhere over 125gb with ultra texture pack. Didn't pay too much attention what it was to begin with.

Black Ops was always the best COD

Cheapest way to get this now VPN to..... the 1980s?

My poor connection will probably take 24h to get this so i better start.

I dont have any battlenet accounts...

Depends if you want a UK or Ukrainian account. UK account is more hassle now, maybe less later. You also will have to wait 3 days before you can gift with the UK account.

UK account: Create your main 'playing' battlenet account without a VPN. Create your 'buying' battlenet account with a Ukrainian VPN. Add them as friends, wait 3 days, buy BOCW as a gift on the Ukrainian account using the VPN, paying in Russian roubles, sending it to your UK account. Disconnect VPN, switch to UK account, download and play.

Ukrainian account: Create your battlenet account with a Ukrainian VPN, buy BOCW, paying in Russian roubles, disconnect VPN, download and play.

With the 2nd method you only have to connect to a VPN again if you want to buy something in Roubles as it defaults to Euro and costs twice as much.

Thanks comrades. Remember, No Russian.

No - the regular costs more than enough

Yeah, just gone for the regular.

I like how on Battle.net now you can customise download so I can just download base game and multiplayer which is about 30GB.

I'll download the campaign when I feel like playing it.

Half price almost.

Apart becoming a communist, is there a way to get this game for £40? A quick scout around the normal places looks like a no?

It's hard to find the last iteration at a reasonable price still. CoD games really do seem to hold that higher end price for a good while

You could try and purchase the game that someone is selling with a recent purchase of a 3000 series graphics card, quite a few have sold in the members market.
