Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 has struggled considerably to achieve the favour of followers. This is partially attributable to the truth that this yr’s COD entry was initially meant to be DLC for 2022’s MW2 – earlier than in the end being ‘expanded’ right into a full-priced premium expertise. In the wake of MW3’s lacklustre marketing campaign, Activision is now having to clarify why MW3 can take up over 200GB of house.
Responding to followers’ criticism of MW3’s stunning enhance in file dimension in comparison with latest entries (which centered on bringing down complete sport sizes), Activision took to its official Call of Duty Twitter account to say:
“#MW3 is sort of right here. In preparation, we wish to present an replace on file sizes that are bigger than final yr. This is because of the elevated quantity of content material accessible Day 1, together with open world Zombies, help for merchandise carry ahead from #MW2, in addition to map information for present Call of Duty: Warzone. (Note: as a part of our ongoing optimization efforts, your remaining set up dimension shall be truly smaller than the mixed earlier Call of Duty experiences).”
They continued, “You can handle your Call of Duty information within the ‘handle information’ part of the COD HQ launcher menu. This consists of the power to uninstall particular content material you aren’t actively taking part in. We’ll be sharing extra data relating to launch within the coming days.”
For some, the concept MW3 options extra content material on Day-1 than earlier titles is considerably disingenuous – particularly as the sport was initially meant to easily be DLC for final yr’s title. That stated, it’s good to see that on the very least sure components of the sport will be uninstalled individually (reminiscent of the sport’s marketing campaign). Hopefully they do certainly proceed to optimise MW3’s file dimension.
