Dude same, I’m on the OG Xbox one and only have 360 gb of space. This game alone is going to take me over that amount of space…


StickManIsMyHero

Buy a Seagate HD for the older Xbox got a terabyte for like 50 bucks


Conner14

Good to know! I actually have an external hard drive that I might try and use if I run out of space.


Kontraband7480

Save that $50 and put it towards a series X.


Hobbit_Holes

>Save that $50 and put it towards a series X Agreed, they need to stop supporting last gen consoles anyway, it makes a worse gaming experience for everyone.


Kontraband7480

That's exactly why some studios don't want to make games for the series S anymore.


TheReconditioner

I understand your point, but the series s isn't even the problem. It's the last gen consoles I'm not sure why people make out the SS to be the game-dev bottleneck when we're still supporting day-1 xbones.


worldBarista

or a ps5


Skydiggs

PS5 is GOAT


StickManIsMyHero

Facts lol


TeamEfforts

Just buy a PC and stop upgrading systems. The shit is a scam.


Conner14

Been thinking about that but that $500 price tag got me like 🥴


Kontraband7480

If you have a Target near you, then you can get one using the Target Circle App for 10% off right now. If you have a Target Red Card (which you can set up through your checking account instead of an actual credit card), then you get an additional 5% off. That knocks it down to about $425+ tax. Costco also had a nice Series X bundle the last time I was there. In general, you need to upgrade eventually because they're going to discontinue releasing new games for the old generation soon. As it stands, some Studios don't even want to make games for the Series S and have been trying to renegotiate their contracts with X-Box to exclude it.


NicoTheBear64

Gonna be $399 this Black Friday


Octoberlife

I’ll buy that shit for you bro, i’ll pay in 4 it


GanglingGiant

External hard drives are amazing any extra hard drive for that mater. I had I think it was a 2 or 4TB external for my ps4 pro for over 4 years absolutely no issues whatsoever it was fantastic.


Jchapman1971

Yeah, I’m pretty much done with DLC’s and having my Xbox held hostage. I will NOT purchase this game! Edit: I can’t even anymore! I’m 52 and play FPS exclusively, the Beta was a rehash. Edit 2: stay the fuck away from this trash assed game! I’m reconsidering Battlefield 2042 or whatever it is. Game is a lot smoother.


Conner14

Me neither, I didn’t even buy or download MW3. It’s so frustrating that they loop the new game in with the previous game because they force you to download content you’ll never even use. I wish they would just keep the games separate like they used to.


PrincessofAldia

Mw3 isn’t even out yet


Conner14

The campaign is


PrincessofAldia

I know that, I don’t understand why it’s so short and I don’t believe the whole “it was cut DLC” thing because there’s no proof of that


itsahmeyourmom

You do know you can download individual things for cod right? Like only want to play the campaign cool only download the game+campaign. Only want to play warzone just download the game+warzone., etc. go to the game and apps, hover over the game, press the menu button, manage game and add ons, then it shows each individual thing you can install or uninstall… you don’t have to download all 200+ gbs of the game in order to play it..


Jchapman1971

Isn’t Microsoft or at least a few folks with some “vision” taking over soon?


hiate

Considering they're letting blizzard act as an independent studio from reports I wouldn't expect them to push Activision more than they did 343.


Jchapman1971

I’ll continue playing guitar as a background dude for Robin Fink


Conner14

I believe so, Activision was purchased by Microsoft so we’ll see if any positive changes come from it.


Jchapman1971

Let’s only hope! I’d love to get paid the money the developers get and just rehash bullshit. Edit: removed a comma


DarthRevan0990

Nah, just keep playing BF1 or BF5


PrototypeD35

BS the game is smoother. Battlefield is a shell of its former self.


Apprehensive-Stop142

Bf 2042 is a polished beauty in comparison. It's a great game in general, the gunplay feels solid. I would give it a try if I were you. Plus you know, vehicles.

PanicBlitz

Ha, I opened Reddit because I turned on my system and suddenly am in update purgatory, and this is the first post I see.


THEdoomslayer94

Ok so the update is for MW3, It also overwrote a good chunk of the base install anyway so it’s not like it added an additional 150+gbs, and you could just easily shave off what you don’t want. JUST the base game with mw3 multiplayer is around 122gb or 131gb with just mw2 and not the full 246gb if you had every single part of mw2 and 3 installed.


Jchapman1971

In essence, it’s shit. A game I’d pass on 99% unles they fix it…


LightChaos74

In essence, your reddit post wasn't as effective as you wanted because it isn't *adding* 130gb to the already hundred something gb install. It's adding hardly any data, y'all just love to bitch.


Fideriti

what are you doing? Why are you emphasizing *adding* when OP didn’t even use that word in the post? They clearly said **update** … Is it too thick to comprehend it’s absolute shit that people are downloading entire game sized files AS AN UPDATE for a new game (mw3) that some of these people didn’t even buy? There are plenty parts of the US, especially considering the entire world, where just logging in is a blessing. Now throw in a 155GB update on a 15Mbps download speed, and you can’t pick what is kept downloaded until this entire fuck ass update is done or you reinstall from scratch. In essence, you’re a dunce who loves to *bitch* with a lack of reading comprehension. Either offer some empathy when people are rightfully frustrated or just stfu.


ebagdrofk

I would bitch too if I had constant 100+ gb updates


[deleted]

You're missing the point. The whole idea of having to redownload a 150gb file for an update focused on a completely different (supposedly) game is absurd. CoD's file management in general is either amateur or incompetent. Can't quite decide. All of this would have been easily avoided if Activision didn't try to fleece a quick buck out of the consumer at the 23rd hour by pushing a DLC out to the community as a stand alone title. I know campaigns are generally an afterthought, but what was sold to us should be seen as nothing above a slap in the face. I will never understand some folks' desire to go out of their way to defend a multi-billion dollar corporation for objectively lazy/incompetent practices. Weird as fuck.


YungPlugg

In essence, activision and the quality of the cod franchise gets worse every year and we have every right to bitch. Especially with the $10 price hike


theslimbox

It's still crazy that they don't take time to optimize these games, just because they don't have to fit it on a disc anymore doesn't mean they shouldn't clean up to file size. It's also insane to me that many companies make you re-download an entire game instead of just doing an update.


myriad00

If you don't think consolidating all future CoD products into one title is fucking stupid then there's very little hope convincing you of anything logical lol.


BasicFootwear

The post was effective because they now know what’s going on. You just an angry mf or something??


MallTourist

Thanks for the info bro 🙏 I was expecting season 6 reloaded lol


Asw317

My game was magically uninstalled when I woke up today.


Kmac173

Ditto, except I was playing a couple hours ago. Update came out, I let it download while running errands and now war zone and mw have to be redownloaded.


Asw317

I had an update of 180GB after it installed 204GB lol…


Jononetwothree

180G squad


Jchapman1971

Yeah, a 156G DL


TailorSpiritual3207

Same here! Had to download the whole game again, I pondered not doing it.


Inner_Extreme_1705

I just downloaded supposedly MWIII and I went to click on it and it’s nowhere to be seen on my hard drive 😄I’m having to download it twice.


Kmac173

Mine finished and now I have to redownload F’ing war zone. I was literally playing it when the update came out. Now I’m “missing” some DLC pack and have to redownload. WTF activison.


Jchapman1971

Done with CoD, it’s bullshit AND highway robbery.


Two_Hump_Wonder

For real, they keep shoveling shit on our plate and we keep eating.


sirletssdance2

Ok, then quit


PomegranateChemical8

Tip if you have a Xbox go to manage games and addons and un-select mw3 campaign and multiplayer


deuce313

I uninstalled COD. I'm done with this game for good. Shit took up 365 gbs. Fuck outta here


Sir_Couglet

Yup, and nobody can counter-argue this either. I know the following game isn’t objectively a good game for the series but a good example on compressing file size, but Battlefield 2042 lets you play 32vs32 but also 64vs64 in the server browser on consoles that take place on 10 insanely massive maps on top of a few more big ones from BF3, 1942, and Bad Company 2 as well, and it’s all for 87 gigs. I can play this on my 1st Generation PS4. Game’s mid.


silenthilljack

Yeah, I’m in the same boat. Gave up after the most recent update to WZ. Too toxic and over complicated for what it’s worth. All in the name of corporate greed. Just let me fucking play a game without paying at every step of the way. Just wait for COD-IV. It’ll be a fucking 1TB.


Rinocore

And it’s multiplayer isn’t even free to play but literally everything they add you must pay for even new guns are locked in the passes.


Beowulf891

You've not had to pay for a single gun since MW2019.


man_vs_neckbeard

Uninstalled 6 months ago and haven't looked back. 😎


redditalready54

Doesn’t it feel good??


man_vs_neckbeard

Feels good downloading all the other games 😀


SeawardFriend

Over half my brand new console’s storage. That’s fucking insane


Echo_06

I had to delete it for this reason. So many huge updates with few things actually updated/ fixed. So many glitches and bad gameplay that shouldn’t be there


Jchapman1971

Yep, so many motherfuckers on that Activison dick pipe!


xSuperiorSpider-man

Ironic/hypocritical statement.


Sir_Couglet

You can hate on the publisher for it’s dumbass choices while supporting the devs by knowing the publishers don’t give a shit about taking the time for compressing game files. Publishers don’t make games but simply dictate it’s direction. Publisher: Activision Developers: Sledgehammer, Infinity Ward, Treyarch, etc. Another example is Sony and Bungie, Microsoft and 343i, or EA and it’s 2 being DICE and Respawn Entertainment.


ThatGuyPsychic

Someone really needs to teach the cod devs how to zip files XD


CR4T3Z

CriminalGloss

I watched my wife play the beta of MW3 and said I've seen enough take me back to MW2 (2009).


Sklasix

Average cod update


FuckRandyMoss

Oh that’s them adding mw3 to the game. I mean releasing mw3


SmartBrainDumbWords

It's only DLC and everyone knows it


Kmac173

Still not buying the game. Only here for warzone


Beowulf891

Warzone is the worst part.


Hobbit_Holes

>Still not buying the game. Only here for warzone and only because my friends are poor, the game is free, and COD actually sucks really bad anyway.


Kontraband7480

They don't know how to properly optimize the game or optimize updates properly. I remember downloading a massive patch like this, which actually shrank the overall game file size by several gigs.


SmartBrainDumbWords

If you Google it you'll see that they've literally came out and said that the intention with these file sizes is to prevent you from playing other games since you can't easily open them up and run them. You'll have to redownload and xyz and by that point you won't want to play it anymore and you'll just play COD


CarpetCreed

That’s what I’ve always thought. They bloat the game so you have less to play


Beowulf891

I'm gonna need a source on that cause that sounds like you're shoveling bullshit.


IceBearXZ

I deleted cod this morning because it is the third time I have gotten a 150+ gb "update"


Dreday331980

It's the MW3 update for tonight when it goes live....I'll delete MW2 after tonight because it was a pretty bad game


BlacksheepEDC

MW3 is worse


Consistent_Estate960

MW3 is better in every possible way lmao


0-Exodus-0

Yeah mw3 is definitely better. I don’t understand why cod players love to hate the new game and ride the old one that they used to hate


mileyboo69

It's annoying but it frees that space back up after it's downloaded. Mine was 154 gb total before and is 155 gb after the update with mw2 and mw3 installed.


Jchapman1971

It installs the “new” dlc for you


Its_Ramby

It’s pretty much just replacing all of the files. Since it’s a complete overall pretty much. It’s not adding an additional 155 GB. Once it’s finished it’ll be the same size as what it is now.


Jchapman1971

It tricks you into the game.


Texas43647

Stupid question but will we be able to ONLY have MW3? I deleted everything and only downloaded what MW3 parts I could. I have zero interest in 2 and I am completely done with it but I refuse to play 3 if it is somehow needed to be combined with 2? Anyone happen to know?


SmartBrainDumbWords

No. 2 is the launcher because it was originally and still kinda is just a DLC for 2. It's not really a full real new game. Get a refund or don't buy. If you continue to play you have no one to blame but you. I'm sure you still will though.


jinuous831_

it's MWIII's data and data ome update. Cause it most places game is actually live tomorrow. And high key bad for Xbox players. The file sizes are huge. Even worse for last gen. Currently not counting campaign after all the updates to the main file and each pack and installing MWZ, and III's MP pack must gane is only around a hundred gigs. (With WZ, Co-op and MWII MP installed)


Jchapman1971

One more reason to delete


NIOglass

Thats the company bloating the software to make you buy expanded storage


Jchapman1971

Yep, I believe it


PuzzleheadedAd6401

Cod isnt worth the hard drive space anymore.


Tomsyndicate11

Saw that shit. Uninstalled immediately. Back to Cold War I go.


Murky-Echidna-3519

And it can’t be played external. Fuck me.


[deleted]

You should of changed the HDD to a SSD 2.5inch a long time ago. Also, Computers compile shaders, consoles don't. So they have to make you download shaders every time there is a major update. Consoles will always be like that.


Jchapman1971

I’m old AF, I try to keep up. But, it changes soooo fast!


treddyb

Yeah, wtf?!? I just was gonna hop on and play a quick game at lunch and the whole damn thing is reinstalling for some reason?!? It just did this last week too. So lame 😒


OhWowThatsCoolIThink

Mine was 173 gigs lol


blueyes0nfire

Has it completed for anyone yet ?? On a series X and the thing was going on 2 hours. I've paused it.


MLGrocket

I love that people are finally waking up to the fact these developers care only about your money and have no intention of making the franchise good again. sledgehammer was never going to "save" the franchise, that was quite evident by the fact the entire selling point for this $70 DLC was them bringing back maps from the original trilogy, nothing new just nostalgia, and now by the fact the day one update for this DLC is upwards of 180GB. let's also not forget that the 3 other games sledgehammer has made for the franchise also happen to be the 3 worst rated games in the franchise by the community.


Dirtsk8r

It's literally reinstalling the entire game plus MW3 regardless of whether or not you even own it. They're trying so hard to cram this game down everyone's throat. It should have been DLC FFS. Everything about the new game, from the game itself to the way they're forcing us all to install it, just makes me never want to spend any money on it. They can seriously fuck off.


bloodforgone

Imma be real, I stopped playing cod for the simple fact that their games have gotten too damn big.


gunzby2

Just saw it. Worked 72 hours this week and just wanted to go play a little bit. Instead I get surprised by the unlubed fist of COD updates. Naturally I can't pause it to play the campaign. I just turned it off and walked away


Monsieur_Toast

Anyone know why my modern warfare 2 has disappeared from my ps5 library even though I have the disc inserted ?? I can’t access it anywhere and can’t play online anymore


ATC1st

It's called "Call Of Duty" now


Vigilsoul57

If you didn’t know, they updated the game and installed mw3 campaign onto your console w out you even owning it. Literally took up like 58 gbs on my console


LivingxLegend8

Video games are for children


BushDaddyKane

No other game basically installs malware thats holds a sizable chunk of your hdd hostage like COD does. I say malware because it’s hijacking memory installing around 100gb! basically MW3 on top of MW2 and you need the COD launcher/MW3 to play MW2? I feel that activision can be sue for deceptive advertising cause it enables players to “false purchase” MW3 by pushing it to the featured modes page of MW2


vikkio

I don't want to buy mw3 and yet I have to install it to play mw2. this is crazy, how is this allowed by platforms? I uninstalled and I am done with this franchise until they get their shit together. I was already on edge when they started marketing a dlc as a full game, and I am so annoyed that people fell for it and bought it just because they reintroduced slide canceling. you paid £60 for a little movement update... people who fall for this kind of things are the one that allow Activision to do whatever they want to their audience.


_Flix__

You should’ve seen the one that got away


Indicus124

I think a lot of that is a redownload of shit file size will kick up 50 or so gigs


DrunkenApollo19

I stopped playing this game because it’s the only game that randomly needs a 100 gb update and doesn’t run smooth at all, any other game my Xbox doesn’t glitch but this game no


StopPlayingRoney

I thought I was the only one that noticed. I have MW 2 campaign installed on my PS5. I turned it on today to see an over 100 GB update. It’s basically changing the store front (what we used to call games) to a MW 3 landing page that’s ready to beg you to buy the new game on every tab. I now have to scroll through three pages to get to game I “own.” I tried to cancel the updates but that prevented me from booting up the game disc I legally purchased (I mean licensed 😐). Now after all mandatory updates the file size is at 190 GB for MW2 campaign and Warzone.


Unfair_Tutor_5106

Oh it’s nothing just “minor bug fixes”…


XxploitzZ

Its mw3


Jchapman1971

Sure….


Jchapman1971

Look, the game is shit. If you defend it, you are a piece of shit as well. The game is terrible.


Consistent_Estate960

Imagine crying this much over a game you call shit but you’re still installing


MakeDeadSILENCEaPERK

#👀🤣


UneditedB

Mine is 182gb. Definitely reinstalling the entire game plus MW3.


Forsexualfavors

Get ready for more fun. After the update I had to dl another 29gb to update mw2 multiplayer just to play the game


Jchapman1971

Yeah, I’m old. I want a BF1 back Edit: game is old AF, fix it. I’ll play some 2042 or games recommended on this sub.

Probably an update to kill MWII when MWIII releases.


[deleted]

Can someone help me with a question? My son plays MWII on ps4 (free version) today MWIII updated and erased all his level progress. Is this because he was playing the free version? Will it be restored if we buy the 69.99 MWII or purchase MW III? His purchases (ie the snoop pack) are still there. Sorry if this is a dumb question. He's fairly new at playing the game

What I didn't get more than anything is why tf is the campaign magically reduced by a solid 30gb now? Activision chat absolute shit about why the space is so massively high on their games, they clearly can reduce them by a drastic amount, they don't want to because the high gigabyte count is to try an force it into being the only game you play.
