Modern Warfare 3 download is huge (200GB) due to “increased amount of content”
Activision says its latest Call of Duty entry is bigger than previous Modern Warfare shooters due to the sheer amount of content in MW3.
Ah, yes. The "let's bloat our game size to bully other games off your SSD so you'll be reluctant to ever uninstall it, because reinstalling it would be a big pain, that way you'll play it indefinitely and give us extra money in micro transactions" strategy.

It's pretty fuckin wild to only be able to install five games on an entire terabyte
Storage and download speeds (for a lot of people) have not kept up with the increase in game install sizes. If the average storage space has doubled but the average install size has quadrupled in the same time, you're worse off in terms of what you can install
...I have 25 on my 1TB (really 800 something GB)
Well that wouldn't work if they were all 200 GB like this, would it?
Only one game is, though. The last few CODs were over 100GB, and it didn't trend among every game out there. Everyone is getting upset over nothing.
For AAA games, it absolutely has trended that way. Smaller-budget games haven't done this nearly so much of course, but it's no longer even slightly unusual to see indie games with 20+ GB install sizes.
Games are absolutely trending that way. Off the top of my head I can name a ton of games that are > 100GB
- Apex Legends
- Dirt Rally 2
- CoD Black Ops 3
- CoD Black Ops 4
- CoD ModernWarfare II
- CoD ModernWarfare III
- Destiny 2
- Cyberpunk 2077
- Pretty much any other AAA title released in the last few years
It’s becoming more and more common. I have a 2TB NVME SSD exclusively for games and it’s full with ~10 games on it
Hey man I only have an atari. Still saving for an Xbox 360
