That figure was published on January 29, 2013; it is not a confirmed estimate of the space every PS3 copy needs today.
What the 12.8 GB figure means
PlayStation.Blog listed Call of Duty: Black Ops II as a PSN title with a 12.8 GB file size in its US PlayStation Store update dated January 29, 2013. See the original PlayStation Store update.
This is a historical listing for the digital download. It does not establish the current download size, the total space needed after updates or add-ons, or the installation footprint of a disc copy.
Digital download versus disc
| Storage question | What is established |
|---|---|
| Digital download | 12.8 GB in the US PlayStation Store listing published January 29, 2013; current size is not stated by that listing. |
| Disc installation | The Activision PS3 manual says to insert the disc to start the game, but does not state an installation size. Read the PS3 manual. |
| Saved data | The manual says PS3 software saved data is stored on the system hard disk; it does not give a size. |
| Updates and additional content | The sources do not state their current sizes or a combined total. |
How much space should you have free?
The sources confirm a 12.8 GB historical digital listing, but do not provide a reliable current total that includes updates or additional content. For a disc copy, they confirm disc launch and hard-disk save data, but do not quantify any installation or saved-data footprint. So 12.8 GB is a useful reference for the old digital listing, not a guaranteed storage requirement for every way of playing today.

- All-new create-a-class: Create-a-class has been re-imagined, introducing players to a new "pick-10" allocation system, allowing an unprecedented number of combinations of create-a-class content. Players no longer have to take content from each category instead, trade items from one category for extra items in another - any combination of 10 items makes almost anything possible.
- Pick 10 System: Ten points and nearly endless combinations: every piece of content is worth one point, and you can spend your 10 points in any way you like, encouraging a greater level of customization for individual play styles
- Wildcards: Also a point each, Wildcards allow players to "extend the system" and configure classes in more unique ways - players can take multiple perks from one category, equip their primary with three attachments, carry two lethals, and more
- All-new score streaks: Score Streaks reward players for helping their team win the game - capturing flags, defending your teammate with an assault shield, getting kills and assists are all examples of actions that help your team win and thus give you score.
- Upgraded weapons, attachments and equipment: Near-future warfare means upgrades in technology that soldiers will use in the field. Additionally, weapon perks are now built into the attachments.
