Increase it to 16gigs and move it to HDD if its on SSD.

Why move the swap file?

He just said it was Black Ops 2, stupid.

Really? You expect everyone to interpret COD as "Black Ops 2"?

If you restart the program, does the problem go away for a while?

Well, the OP did mention that he was playing Black Ops 2 in the first sentence.

If you regard my facts as wrong, feel free to rectify it.

Well, it worked for me and it frees some space on SSD. There's no harm trying it and if it solves your problem then it good thing, right?

Definitely if it works, it's a good thing. I was curious as to why because it was a new approach for me.
