Some users had expressed their disagreement about the amount of massive updates the videogame receives.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare has adopted a seasonal model that has resulted in the incorporation of new game modes, operators and maps, among other elements. To contain all this material, Infinity Ward has published updates that are not characterized precisely by demanding little space on the hard disk, something that has bothered certain users, to the point that the developer herself has apologized and tried to explain the reasons.
It has been Paul Haile, producer of the video game, who has been responsible for transferring the mea culpa. "Hi everyone. As we start Season 2, I want to apologize for the download size of this update. ” The manager states that in this specific case, they are trying to resend a new resource pack to reduce the full size of the game.
According to Haile, this is what has caused the update to be so massive, since once installed, the space occupied by the title on the hard disk has been reduced. It also promises that in the future they will try to lose weight of the patches, while confirming that they will add the console option to choose the DLC packs that they want to download. "I am very aware of the full size of MW and we are doing everything in our power to minimize it," he concludes. According to Polygon, the latest update weighed 51 GB on PS4 and 68 GB on PC and Xbox One.
hey all – as we push season 2 live i just want to apologize about the download size of this update. we're constantly trying to fight back against both download size and disk footprint and in this case we're re-sending new asset packs to reduce the overall size of the game.

Clues about battle royale mode
It may not have been officially announced, but the last trailer has dropped what the leaks already point out, that Infinity Ward plans to add a battle royale mode during the second season. In the video, one of the most common scenes of the games of this type is glimpsed, that is, the plane from which the members of the same squad jump by parachute. As if that were not enough, the scenario, very vast, suggests this possibility more clearly.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare deploys its modern warfare on PC, Xbox One and PC. Precisely on this platform, the minimum requirements already advanced that the necessary disk size would be considerable. Later, Activisin clarified that this figure was intended taking into account all the content that would be published later.
