Trust me...it's worse on PC. battle.net doesn't support delta patching so that 20GB update on the consoles is a 50-80GB download on PC. Every. Single. Time.
Not sure if it's your issue, but it won't do it if you also have the game in suspend mode when you put it in rest. Make sure you close out the application first. Just COD tho, you can leave others up. I left FF7 in suspend last night, just turned on my system this morning, patch is already downloaded and installed.
The whole point of high quality compression is to be able to use high quality assets with a small foot print. Devs settled on 50gb because that's what BD allows. But these file sizes for updates are ridiculous because there is no limit and the burden is placed on the user with a complete disregard for things like ISP data caps and, you know, wasting the player's time. The latter seems to go hand in hand with the aforementioned regression in game design, in my opinion.
Two ways that could happen. You named one. The other obvious one is to introduce a fucking map vote so most of the garbage will never be played again.MP sucks anyway, save your time and frustration OP, keep it that way.
Worst CoD ever. Maybe a year from now the SBMM will be turned down and it'll be fun?
Honestly the updates have slowed down dramatically. It was insane at first because we were getting them weekly, but it's really been a while,
Why should developers care about game sizes when consumers are now stuck with the storage bill.Buy an external hard drive
Probably have to delete the game and just download the Warzone part. If you play MP then I think you might be stuck.I still don’t understand why I need to put the MW disc in to play BR. It’s fuckin annoying. Is there another way around it?
Actually, it's a brand new engine made by IW Poland. Their main engineer worked at Guerrilla.
I'm deleting the game.
Works in every CoD, just wait a year so that the SBMM gets toned down, almost like that's planned or something...Two ways that could happen. You named one. The other obvious one is to introduce a fucking map vote so most of the garbage will never be played again.
A map was included too but I don't think Hardhat or even one map at all would be that much. They have to have way bigger changes behind the scenes, like people have actually seen their guns act differently but they weren't in the patch notes.What an albatross of a game. I've never seen a game require 20 gb for weapon balancing, fixes, gun skins, and a couple of maps. This is ridiculous. 200 fucking gb.
The only part of MW that I actually liked and played was the 3v3 gunfight tournament, and since they removed those after the last update and replaced it with a bastardized version, I'm uninstalling this game. 200 gb to play gunfight with a couple of my friends is just too much.
TouchéWhy should developers care about game sizes when consumers are now stuck with the storage bill.
Try to delete SP and Co-OP bs.
I was thinking about if i could do that since i see it all in different files. Have you tried to?
Really? I've been updating this game multiple times the last week or two. Feels like I'm updating it every time I start the bnet client.
Wouldn't speak to b.net, I'm on PS4. I play 4-5 nights a week, and these huge patches really fell off. At most, I've gotten a restart the lobby indicator to apply what appear to be some hot fixes, but I'm definitely not downloading any substantial patches.
You can't delete those individually. You have to delete the entire 210 GB, then redownload the main data, the compatibility data pack and the two multi-player packs. That's around 140 GB that you have to redownload on the PS4. I just deleted the entire game, and am moving on to something else. It saddens me, since I actually like the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, and had been playing with a buddy of mine until today. I will say this: I will never buy another Call of Duty game again unless they can get it back to under 50 GBs, and that's not the direction that Activision is going.
Yea Doc I got rid off both just got no use anymore, saves some space tremendously but not like I need some
These massive update sizes are supposed to be remedied in both next-gen consoles, right? Feel like I have seen that mentioned specifically as another bonus to next-gen architecture
i honestly think activision do this on purpose, for console HDD space monopoly
think about it, most people in your friends list play CoD, thats over 200gig, on older consoles with only 500gb, thats nearly half their space, not leaving much room for other MP shooter like say BF another 100+gig, ps4 has like a 80gig reserve as well..........
so do you always keep CoD on your HDD?, or delete and have to redownload 200gig again?

It's also the only way to have to re-download the whole game a month later, plus the patches. Great thinking.I think you have a valid point there. Everyone should revoke, and delete Modern Warfare for a month. It's the only way to change their egregious ways.
I believe this is the only true answer. I love the game but man.... their incompetency shows in their patch sizes, incorrect & lack of information in patches, and overall mismanagement of the game on top of the abhorrent use of hdd space.Because Infinity Ward are incompetent.

I haven’t played in a while but when I found war zone on the store page and tried to download it, it recognized I had mw and made me install the whole game through disc.These update are ridiculous, this can not happen next gen.
Delete the game if you only play warzone then down load warzone , that should work.

Over 210gb. That's ridiculous. I only have a tb on the x and its only got 300gb free which ain't shit these days. I don't want to buy an external, especially this late in the gen. I would have replaced the internal one if it was allowed.
Your avatar looks too much like mine.I would be very upset
I haven't had an X in my possession yet. Are you sure you can't change the internal HDD?
They said you couldn't with the Original One but I've done plenty of HDD swaps for people it's just under the heat shield. You just need a Torx set.
Im sure i probably could (never looked it up) but it would void the warranty unlike the ps4.
Most of the big CoD youtubers agree with you. They freely admit they're only playing it for the views and if they didn't have to, they wouldn't. It's better on the old maps they've introduced, but that's not saying much. Most of the maps that shipped with the game are comically bad.
I'm sorry, but that's just not true. The youtubers I'm referring to are in agreement that it's absolute garbage. I and others have been saying it in the OT from the beginning. They aren't saying it's worse than BO4. They're saying it's the worst CoD EVER. Now, this pertains to 6 vs 6, traditional TDM, what CoD has always been about.No no no my pal. That's the cod cycle of grief working its magic. Happens every year. The reception was superior to every cod since BO3, and if you include Warzone, well, then it's really no contest with any recent COD
