"84 GB" trends #1 on Twitter after the release of the new Modern Warfare 2019 update (Total Size now 187GB) [Update: Activision looking into it]

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

The "Trending" tab (not the "For You" tab!) on Twitter has 84 GB as the #1 trending topic because that is the size of the Modern Warfare 2019 update on Xbox One.

It's "only" 32 GB on PS4 and 45 GB on PC, but people just seem so frustrated with Infinity Ward's massive file sizes. Wonder how CoD 2020 will go in file and update size after all this criticism.

Update:

 

[Kalentan]

Well, at least the game itself will only be 4gb bigger once it's updated. Tiny silver lining.

 

[Fat4all]

that's alotta gigglebits

 

[Arklite]

This is why I haven't bothered touching Warzone, the updates for CoD games are ridiculous and way too frequent.

 

[Otnopolit]

It's rich they announce they are working on making patches smaller on the same day they apply another car sized update. Now my car has 8 doors and two sunroofs, great. Love this game, hate this shitty Frankenstein stuff.

 

[Thiago]

Imagine the time it will take for the "copying" process on PS4.

 

[HMS_Pinafore]

This is one of my biggest concerns about next gen, I'm already buying games and not being able to play them on the same day due to download sizes, even if I buy physically.

 

[elzeus]

If they weren't waiving data cap limits right now I would just uninstall the game.

 

[FatalT]

32.375 GB for PS4. I played a bit of PSO2 and longed for the days of Phantasy Star Online on the Dreamcast because it's just not clicking with me. I want to find another Private Blue Burst server now :(

 

[Jaaake]

What the fuck lmao

 

[jsnepo]

Why the hell is it 84GB on Xbox?

 

[Professor RAWR]

It's insane how much this is torturing consoles. Glad i've upgraded to PC honestly. I would never install such a large game on my consoles.

I guess it takes less time if big chunks are getting patched rather than many small ones.
So it would be rather short like many cumulative big patches already are.

 

[Spiderman]

That has to be some terrible game design.

 

[Soap]

I'm sorry, but at some point this is going to make people choose what games they buy. Having this eat up space is just annoying.

 

[Deleted member 923]

It's why I deleted it. "Copying" for ten hours every other week, fuck off.

 

[Don Draper's Hat]

There's something about COD updates on Xbox. They always download at a fucking snail's pace compared to anything else. And then when it finally reaches 100% it has to stay there for over half an hour before properly installing.

This may be them moment I just say "fuck it" and delete the bollocking thing.

That's the not most annoying part to me. The game is not getting much bigger, it's just replacing files now. What is annoying is the size of the patches. 84GB! it's straight up incompetence from them.

that's alotta gigglebits

"Hello, I am trying to clownload the 84 gigglebit hiccupdate to my game, but my inharnet is too slow.

Send help"

 

[Dark Ninja]

84 gigs haha holy shit

Yeah wait why is Xbox double the size of ps4???

 

[spineduke]

I'm on PC and I've had to resort to getting updates from a friend physically. At this point, maybe I should close the door and say goodbye to battle royale games in 2020. They've effectively locked out a good chunk of players who don't have the bandwidth to support such stupid decision making.

 

[SJRB]

...the update is 84 GB?????

What the FUCK.

 

[PROh1bited]

MW ain't worth that much bandwidth.

 

[Jawmuncher]

At first I was like "Oh cool, they reduced the games size to 84GB"

Nah, that shit is a whomping 187GB total now. wtf

 

[Wulex]

One of the reasons i stop playing this game, it's ridiculous

 

[Infinity Times Two]

I have to give warnings to my Warzone friends in the middle of the week, because if they are unaware of a big patch when the weekend comes, there will be no playing.

Fucking hell.

 

[Ascenion]

84 gigs? What the fuck? How is that a patch size. I honestly want to request a refund at this point. Shit is destroying my data.

 

[Dave]

The better change the Warzone map.

That's all.

 

[Hailinel]

84GB is about the size of Final Fantasy VII R. Like...the whole game.

What the fuck is Infinity Ward doing that they have patches this massive? Is the game just spaghetti code and uncompressed assets all the way down?

 

[vatstep]

oh?

 

[Bananastand]

They need to get this shit under control. It's a good time to have on your console at all times for a quick game but not when it takes up so much space.

 

[Kevers]

I had to delete FF7R to make room and basically just have COD and RB4 DLC on only 1 PS4.

 

[NutterB]

Why is the xbox DL double the size of other platforms?

 

[MillionIII]

Mw2 is going to be 400 gb I tell ya

Well according to Activision (per the tweet a few posts above) it's not supposed to be that big.

But also this patch contains a bunch of compressed stuff to replace stuff in there already. Hence why despite the patch being big (32 gb - 40gb seems to be actual size going by PS4/PC) the game will only actually get 4gb bigger, cause there's only 4gb of actual new stuff.

 

[Dreaver]

I can only have MW and God of War om my HDD. This is ridiculous.

 

[RoninStrife]

WTF... I unistalled the game at about 105GB.. becoming way too much to justify.... this.. batshit insane size.

 

[TheKeyPit]

Platform holders should get some rules in place for next gen regarding patch sizes.

 

[Terror-Billy]

I ended up uninstalling the game for this very damn reason. Huge updates + big af install size.

 

[Raigor]

Siege, which is a GAAS title with 5 years of support is still less than 85 GB at least on PC for example; the fact that Activision wants you to download COD MW MP and SP even if you only want Warzone it's pretty dumb.

 

[Pancracio17]

The games total size is 187gb???? Shit in 5 years cods are gonna be 500gb big, might even break the TB.

 

[Mendrox]

Game is also killing my PS4 Pro. Loudest jet engine ever with this game.

 

[King Alamat]

This is why I'm not excited about the next generation. All this bloat for what, textures and sfx with increasingly granular fidelity?

 

[Henrar]

Platform holders should get some rules in place for next gen regarding patch sizes.

Click to shrink...

Hopefully they won't. Last gen Xbox 360 had a patching limitation that caused games like Silent Hill Remastered Collection not to have patches (PS3 version did). Switch also has a limitation for patches and sometimes it's a nightmare to squeeze anything into that. NBA Playgrounds devs said that it's way too small.

 

[RoninStrife]

COD: Modern Warfare Super Size Deluxe with fries. The game battles with it's expanding waistline, it defines the very world we live in!

I only want to play the campaign and i'm over hear suffering with a 700kbps connection lol

 

[Bishop89]

Wouldn't be as bad if they let me uninstall the spec ops and campaign modes. It's just a hdd hog at this point

 

[Deleted member 59955]

This is hilarious at this point.

 

[Inkvoterad]

just let us choose what mode to install like in the old games please god
