Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is 100+ GB depending on Platform [Update: Full Sizes In OP]

From the Modern Warfare subreddit.

Ever since the 175gb recommended specs came out people have been confused on the actual file size of the game. 175gb is what they expect the game to be at once all the post-launch content releases.

61GB makes sense for just the launch. Though if they expect 175gb by the end, makes me think they're planning a ton of post-launch stuff.

MAJOR UPDATE. TURNS OUT THE FIRST PRELOAD WAS JUST THE START.

 

[mrmickfran]

They're gonna make a multi-disc release eventually, right?

RIP to people with data caps

[Hawkster]

Makes sense. I did think the 175GB is overboard for a game that's having post-launch content in its lifecycle at launch

 

[Slayven]

it will triple that over it's year long life

 

[Gamer17]

I think modern warfare remastered is even same size . So not surprising

 

[Proteus]

Isn't this the new normal?

It's average. Plenty of games release around the same size or even more. Pretty sure RDR2 was 100gb right off the bat.

It was. My boy had to delete so much shit off his PS4 for it lol

 

[deadlygantz]

Gears 4 for instance. It was 100+ download in the end. To top that, Windows store doesn't allow backups.

And it releases at 9pm ET on Thursday!

what exactly is "Jesus wept" about this? That size is pretty average these days

Splitting the MP and SP sounds good about 10 years ago.

Data caps fam.

 

[Komo]

Oh thank you lord for this low file size.

 

[xmassteps]

Thank goodness for unlimited downloads*

*Side question: are unlimited download broadband packages rare in the US? I see people talking about data caps a lot and where I live, only the most basic packages still have them.

At least where I am (Upstate New York), I have Spectrum which has Unlimited.

 

[Heazy]

Cool. I can get this done on Thursday night and play on Friday then.

Genuinely don't understand the uproar about games of this size these days. It feels pretty standard at this point.

 

[Falchion]

Games are getting HUGE.

 

[Detective Loki]

Aren't they actually larger on the console? It said 15GB or so for the Beta but turned out to be 35GB or so.

Most people have 1TB data cap.

Just wait 5 years when deal with the FCC expires regarding Charter, Time Warner and Brighthouse merger, you should expect data cap with Spectrum.

Should be 9 PM EST for everyone. PSN shows the samething.

 

[chandoog]

I wish they would just straight up start offering separate download buttons for SP and MP in big ass games like this.

I have unlimited data caps, but I still would rather not spend time/bandwidth downloading 30/40 GB portions of a game that I would likely not be using at all.

 

[2PiR]

seems small

 

[Kalentan]

Pre-loading is up on Xbox, and is to start tomorrow on PS4.

According to reddit the file size on base xbox one is about 45gb.

 

[vestan]

Kalentan might want to get the title changed

 

[bsigg]

Good lord, no wonder they setup a 4 part download for the full package

 

[B1ggRandall]

Jesus!! I know these ISP that give data caps love these companies with big games. 😐

I will get it changed. No idea why I didn't get alerted to your message. Also yeah, just downloaded on PS4 Pro and it's base 107gb.

 

[RoboPlato]

I've never seen a game download divided up like this before. 2 Campaign Packs, MP Pack, 2 Spec Ops Packs, and a Survival Pack. I wonder if you'll be able to pick and choose what to download after the preload is up

After you are done preload by definition you have already downloaded whole thing.

 

[VeePs]

Already doubled in one day, wow.

 

[zswordsman]

How are people getting this to preload on PS4? It doesn't give me the option yet :/

It automatically started for me a few hours ago. It seems tied to region.

 

[VeePs]

I wish we could choose what to install like Master Chief Collection. I mostly just wanna play MP.

Edit: Seems like we can! Very cool.

 

[Jawmuncher]

Thank goodness you can at least download the game parts you want.

Mines a secondary PS4 so it doesn't automatically download. But I went to my library and the download option was there. Preloading now

 

[Blue Skies]

Im not too yo to date with the technologies, but I am getting this game on disc for PS4.
Whats that mean for me?
Will it have to download a 100plus gb patch day 1?

I need to know this too because I'll cave and do digital if that's the case.

 

[SuperBoss]

Wow, maybe those 100GB bluray discs on PS5 may not be enough after all o_O

 

[Genio88]

Will there be a preload option on Battle.net client? I still don't see any and we are just a few days from the release, my connection is not good enough for a day one download

 

[Dixie Flatline]

Ohhhh that's why our Internet was shit the other night lol. The Xbox must have been pre-downloading MW. We couldn't even watch a Youtube video. Mystery solved!

If it's anything like Black Ops 4, then yes. That had literally almost nothing on the disc and the entire game was a Day 1 download.

 

[Robert81]

I believe Assassins Creed Odyssey is 140 GB with all of its expansion. I was debating to buy it the other day.

I believe it did have data on the disc. The update just overwrote all of it.

There has been preload for every BNet game thus far so this should have one too. Expect it to start today or Monday.
