The Call of Duty teams increasingly don't give a shit about this

Small mercy is hopefully a partial install option

Crazy... I get my fix of CoD just watching JackFrags play Warzone instead of playing it now.
(i've played plenty of WZ myself but deleted it a while back)

Like I was expecting the storage capacity of all of the new consoles to become a problem pretty quickly, but I wasn't expecting it to be an issue two days after release.

Hopefully, there's been some last minute compression and the box art is old. Otherwise, urk.

This is gonna start hurting them now. Even the people who actually buy the game will end up uninstalling it before DLC is out simply because they need that space to play other stuff.

Good thing I don't play Call of Duty!

That install size is insane. I wonder if you can install the parts you want and omit those you don't.

Oh its even bigger starting out than the last game which took a year that big to get?? I will not be buying any CoD games any time soon then. I'd rather spend that money on more games than more storage right now.

Oh boi, activision/cod doing it again.

That's almost half of the available free space.

MW on Xbox One right now is 150.8 GB for me (this is without campaign and spec ops installed).

If that Cold War install includes SP, MP, Zombies, and Warzone then maybe I can see the huge size, but I'm really starting to buy into the theory that Activision wants to monopolize your storage space with CoD.

I don't play Warzone, Campaign, or Zombies, so as long as I can download MP only, I'm good. Absurd for those that want the entire package.

Doesn't seem a stretch to believe that as being real considering the already insane size of Modern Warfare on PS4 and the size of this game on PC already being 285GB.

Absolutely nuts though.

I couldn't even imagine downloading that.

Is there really no way to make it smaller?

I'm sure it's fake. IT has to be right?

If not... Oooof. That's a thicc game.

What the actual every loving fuck is going on with COD games that they have to be so, so, SO hefty?

There were talks of being able to install certain parts individually while leaving others out, like if I'm not interested in the MP I can choose to not install that.
Is that still the case, or we don't know yet?

I wonder if this sort of thing is standard for the bigger GAAS games. If so, we could see even more people being shuffled off into playing mostly one service game over most others more than we already do.

Glad I wasn't looking forward to this one.

Yeah, I'm literally not buying this game because of that. That's absolutely ridiculous... Modern Warfare is already a fucking joke with it's space requirements but I'm not taking up 1/3 of my space for one game again. Fuck you Activision.

It's so obvious that they want certain players to play CoD only and stick with it until the next CoD. Not much room for other games. I'm not buying this shit.
