Demo to Test If PC can run it?
This is directed towards the developers, and I am posting it as a discussion so people can post their opinion and back the idea if they see fit.

Can the developers create a Demo of all three modes (Singleplayer, Multiplayer, Zombies) so that we can install the game, and attempt to play and see if our PC builds can handle it? Stats and Min. Req. are good but not as good as a real test.

I say all three game modes because I bought COD AW and the multiplayer plays well enough, but I was getting massive Frame Rate drops in zombies rendering it unplayable.

I do realize that I could buy the game and refund it if it did not work, but that requires a large amount of money that I can't spare to have tied up and un-usable for that duration.


I think I can speak for many gamers when I say that we would be happy with anything the Devs could offer... Even if its a simple as only letting us in a bot match and having it kick us after say 3 or 5 minutes of gameplay, not including menu time so we can tinker with settings.... (Trying to think of what would be quick and easy to impliment for the devs) I'm NOT looking for a free handout but I am genuinly interested in finding out if my older gaming laptop PC can play this.

Asus Republic of Gamers G75VX Gaming Laptop
CPU: i7 3630QM 2.4GHz (Max Turbo to: 3.4GHz)
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 670 MX with 3GB GDDR5 SDRAM

Won't happen. I doubt they'll make the effort to build a demo just so people can test their performance. It'd mean putting quite some extra work into that without getting any more money out of it, so it's just highly unlikely.

The only chance you have is to simply buy the game, test it out, and refund it if you find out it runs like crap, if you don't exceed 2 hours of playtime of course.

they did it with Dying Light, and that's a way more laggy game then BO3

Heyo, even if we never get a demo I can at least "test" for you. Your laptop won't be able to handle it at 60 fps on any setting. I'm playing on a laptop with a GTX 860M and I barely hit 60. In Zombies I can't hit 50 even, and even then I get constant crashes.

check some benchmark websites with similar hardware, like you should know if it will run for the most part.
