Now, the important thing to keep in mind is that, with a huge map, 150 players, and plenty of vehicles, playing Warzone could very well be more of a strain on your system than the standard game would be. For now, it would be a good idea to consider how your PC performs when playing Spec Ops, as the larger maps will be the closest you can get to testing out Warzone on your build until it releases.
It may be necessary to do some tweaking of your settings in Warzone to get the same type of frames you would be used to on the smaller maps. For the most part, Warzone should be well within reach for the vast majority of gamers out there, make sure you are realistic about the settings you wish to run it at if it has been a while since you upgraded your PC.
