COD AW needs 55GB space and 6GB ram

Because optimization and file compressing are Shyriiwook (aka Wookie language).

Got half a terabyte still free and 32 gigs od RAM, so not an issue. However, I really have no interest in any more of the Recycled Warfare genre. I will not be buying the game.

The problem is, this one is actually something new.

New? Mix a little Crysis, a little Ghosts, a little Titanfall, a trickle of BF and what do you get? CoD AW

Not saying it doesnt look sweet, just Im not going to run out and pre-order it. Everytime I do, I regret it. Fool me once...

It's not even that much... it's just Crysis + a bit of Titanfall.

By this way you can say
Crysis = COD + Suit Powers
Ghosts = COD itself
Titanfall = COD + Mechs
Battlefield = COD + Vehicles
COD AW = (4CODs + Suit Powers + Mechs + Vehicles) / 4 = a slightly different COD

You can also say:
BF3 = MMS
CoD = MMS
Crysis = MMS + Aliens
(MMS = Modern Military Shooter)

Maze Runner 3D + Guns = Wolfenstein 3D/FPS Genre
Wolfenstein 3D + Weird Creatures = DOOM/Quake
Wolfenstein 3D + Chicks = Duke Nukem
Wolfenstein 3D + Headshot + Double Kill + Triple Kill + .... = Unreal Tournament
Those make oldschool fps together.

Oldschool FPS + Crowbar = Half Life
Oldschool FPS + Covenant + Spartans = Halo
Oldschool FPS + WW2 = Medal of Honor
Oldschool FPS + Vehicles = Battlefield
Medal of Honor + Activision = Call of Duty
And now the MMS comes

FPS + Modern Setting + Autoheal + Aiming Down Sights + Leveling up and unlocking stuff + ...= MMS

You know the rest.

BTW this is a great guide for FPS crafting.

It seems clear to me that AW is mainly an attempt by Activision to prevent Titanfall from eclipsing CoD.
After Activision shafted Zampella & West, they had good reason to be afraid that the duo would utterly destroy CoD with a competing franchise. When you look at it in that context, the similarities that AW has with Titanfall are pretty obvious.

The only mystery to me is why Zampella didn't actually make a direct competitor to CoD. I guess he figured he was going to get a fat paycheck no matter what so he didn't care about killing it after all.
