Modern Warfare 2 file size on PC

Modern Warfare 2 will require at least 72 GB at launch on PC as confirmed by Infinity Ward in a blog post about the minimum requirements for the game. So, you can’t run it on a low-end PC that doesn’t have a ton of disk space.

Players that have Campaign Early Access through Battle.net can pre-load it after downloading 34.6GB. For Steam users, the pre-load download size is 29.9GB.

If your PC is currently running low on storage then you should delete large files that are taking up space in your system. Running a system cleaner is the quickest way to remove large files that you don’t need.
