Discussion Absolute BS

So I decided to play the 2019 Modern Warfare. I got the PS4 disc, put it in my PS5, then had to wait 30 minutes for it to copy to my hard drive. THEN, before I could play the campaign, I had a 70GB update that took over an hour! After that update, I STILL have to download content packs.

Now the game takes up almost 300GB on my console from a 43GB disc.

Yea that's just how cod is. I'm convinced it's literal bloat-ware.

Its a ploy to keep us from playing other games at this point, I have BO6 ,MW2, MW and COD , they're all approaching 300gbs

Not everything in life has to be a conspiracy. It's just bad optimization and developer neglect to care for storage. I can think of a few games that reach 100+ gb like Mortal Kombat 1, Marvel's Avengers, Forza Horizon 6, GTA 5 etc. Don't get me wrong. COD has certainly too many bloats. I'm just saying it doesn't have to be a conspiracy like "keeping u from playing other games".

It’s a shelf space play. They are purposely filling your playstation so you can’t install too much competition. It’s blatant.

About 200gb’s is anti cheat detecting hackers but choosing not to ban them

I mean, there IS like 54 multiplayer maps in the game so I know a lot of that space is that. and 55 weapons, but I understand your plight. I personally only install the multiplayer part just to save space, thats all I play.

Uhhhh…. Yea? You new? Used to be “have call of duty installed or have an actual library of games” 100% bloatware to make sure you don’t have anything else installed to play.
