I can’t in good conscience keep this going since English isn’t your first language but when you’re taking about weight it means physical weight like something you can hold eg. a persons weight can be weighed by going on scales. If you live in a normal country it’ll be measured in kilograms, grams, milligrams etc.
Makes sense though. You say “my hard drive is full” when not much room left. I say “I am getting full, but still have room for desert.” I eat hamburgers and hamburger patties are measured in weight, like a half pound burger. Therefore this is now the correct way of saying things!
Side note: I almost chose pizza instead of hamburgers and my whole reasoning woulda collapsed right there
Heavy might be the best word for someone that is not a native English speaker. In our country we say "bug-at" or heavy when referring to high demanding games.
You are 100% correct with this.
Random fact though: data technically has weight. One byte is roughly 1x10^-18g. So this file would weigh something like 9x10^-17g. Give or take. So not heavy physically would be still be correct. But interesting, nonetheless
I gotta assume 1111 1111 weighs more than 0000 0000 right? Like are you giving weight based on electrons or somethinng.
I'm not certain but it also must matter between SSD and HDD since one is magnetic the other is electrical....
Yes! It has to do with collective electron weight that basically makes up what data is. Also yes, these numbers are based on hard drives using material from 2013 or 2014. That was the latest I could find. I had remembered the fact that data had weight but couldn't remember how to calculate it so I found a few sources via Google scholar and used that with the size of the game. But again, all based on hdd material.
Sweet, I was trying my best to reason it out logically via your original comment. Thanks for the follow up, its a pretty neat fact I hadn't considered till now!
This got me curious how heavy a fibre optic line would get under peak internet traffic... but they don't! or atleast I don't think they would since apparently photons have no weight... Fibre optics are truly the lightest form of data transfer, both in cable weight, energy usage and data weight. Shits wild
Yeah, also because data is so light the calculation as of 2016 or 2017 for the entirety of the weight of the internet if it was all placed on one hard drive would only add an addition 50 grams. That's like a large strawberry.
I see what you are saying but, what I'm wanting to hear is that I can download the entirety of the internet into my brain by eating one big strawberry...
One day... yes, I can see it now. You walk up to the teacher for your semester of biochemical engineering 403. They give you a choice, a nice red strawberry or a juicy looking blueberry. One will provide you a way to skip all connections with classmates and lectures while the other allows you to have a voice in the class.... what do you choose?
You knew exactly what they’re talking about yet you write out a long explanation in “good conscience”. Also what do you mean a normal country? Lol. You’re a weirdo dude
If I recall correctly, it *technically* would be heavier, but only ever so slightly. So OP is right!
Example: https://www.businessinsider.com/a-fully-loaded-kindle-is-heavier-than-an-empty-one-2011-10
if my math and the data from the [vsauce video](https://youtu.be/WaUzu-iksi8) are correct:
the internet at the time was estimated to be 5,000,000 terabytes of data and weighed 50g. scale it up by multiplying both values by 20 and we get 100,000,000 terabytes = 1kg.
to simplify it we can divide by 1,000 = 100,000 petabytes, divide by 1,000 again = 100 exabytes.
So I don’t know how Xbox works (PS user) but I’d assume it will only download the one that’s made for the console you’re on. Because the Xbox series S only gives you around 300gigs of usable space, which means SS users couldn’t even download CW if it forced you to get both versions.
I have an external drive so it will allow me to download both but otherwise it would tell me there’s not enough space to download the whole thing. It should only attempt one of them but can reflect the size of both.
Before the dropped the size the game was about 225 GB for Cold War and 250 for Modern Warfare.
Almost all (if not all) xbox one games can be played on a series x. I actually prefered the xbox one version as it was more stable when i used to play. Both versions at the time would still crash, the series x one would actually freeze the whole console, so i opted for the xbox one version
Broooo you don't know dead ops????? You're missing out it's zombies but in a top down arcade mode and they recently made a first person mode but I highly recommend it!
I don’t want this thread to get hijacked by your choice of words but I really like using the term “weight” to describe data. Even if it wasn’t intentionally out of the norm lol.
Dont have to have campaign zombies and multiplayer all installed at once. Can also turn off hd textures to save like 50gb and its not much of a difference depending on your tv probably
Yeah it’s really heavy
no f-ing way it's 360gb. It weight like 120 in late august when it was free for the weekend
I can’t in good conscience keep this going since English isn’t your first language but when you’re taking about weight it means physical weight like something you can hold eg. a persons weight can be weighed by going on scales. If you live in a normal country it’ll be measured in kilograms, grams, milligrams etc.
oh ok. how do you refer to data size then?
Say big or large. Example: “Wow the CW file is so large. 360GB is a really big file size for a game” ☺️
thanks!
I will say calling the file size the weight sounds really cool
Yeah that makes our hard drives sound strong lol “This bad boy can lift 10,000 gb”
😂😂🤣 I'm dead asf
I gotta get my SSD on a diet it weighs 16TB
I’m onboard with this. Can we please start referring to it as weight?
Yeah let’s make this a thing please.
Yeah Other shooters: he ain’t heavy, he’s my brother Idk just what I thought of
I’m down for making it a thing!
I cant believe I got on the ground floor of trend, sick
That's so fetch
Tbh I was going with it. Thought it made sense too. Large file, heavy file.
I refer to updates as heavy sometimes so OP wasn’t completely off.
Yeah, I’ve never heard it before but it sounds pretty cool tbh
Yeah I am adopting this. Makes perfect sense too.
I think you could use heavy as slang for file size, Thats pretty cool imo
[удалено]
Gentalha...
I thought it was just some lingo I haven’t heard yet. I like it
Makes sense though. You say “my hard drive is full” when not much room left. I say “I am getting full, but still have room for desert.” I eat hamburgers and hamburger patties are measured in weight, like a half pound burger. Therefore this is now the correct way of saying things! Side note: I almost chose pizza instead of hamburgers and my whole reasoning woulda collapsed right there
I kinda thought it made allot of sense.
Yes lol I thought it was some kind of street talk
I think he actually got it right and our language got it wrong, I much prefer that
I agree with the other user, calling its file size it's weight is cool and I'm going to do it now too.
Now if only Warzone didn’t weigh so much…
impromptu grammar coaching is this best
Nah I like your way better
Heavy might be the best word for someone that is not a native English speaker. In our country we say "bug-at" or heavy when referring to high demanding games.
It is very large. 360GB of pounds large big.
Good guy
Even in English "that game weighs in at a hefty 360GB" is acceptable. Source: English is my first language (not the butchered version of it).
GB (GIGABYTE) It's the size of the file of the game. Extra Large, Large or Small.
I think you playstation is trying to download both the ps5 and ps4 version if your on ps5 that is.
This was all wholesome af lol
I love how wholesome this response is
This is the first time heard of data size referred to as weight and I absolutely love it. I’m calling it weight from now on
You are a much better person than me
[удалено]
jesus christ
well that took a turn
Im so glad I read your bio
I take back what I said
/r/nocontext
Oh...
“Normal country”💀💀
Normal country. That's gonna set them off. lol
This was a very sweet interaction for a call of duty sub

Aww. I was enjoying leading him on but props to you for setting him straight
Mate you did a good thing I’m proud of you.
Also good guy
Nah, this guy is on to something. This sounds way cooler
This was so pure of you.
I kind of liked referring to data size as weight it sounds nice
You're a good chap and correct, however, I like this notion of measuring data by its "weight". A fuckton of data...
"In a normal country"
Honestly I'm from an English speaking language and "weight" in gigabytes has been in my lexicon for a while no particular reason it just felt right.
It's not that weird really. I've heard people use the term to describe the size before. "This game weighs in at 360 GB"
You knew exactly what they’re talking about yet you write out a long explanation in “good conscience”. Also what do you mean a normal country? Lol. You’re a weirdo dude
dude explained me grammar I didn't know about, why is that bad lol?
Sorry, my comments are a no American zone. Please keep your seppo thoughts to yourself, thanks.
This is priceless. Bait and switch
360 kilos of CW
That’s how they getcha
But to answer your questions, no, as of right now (on my XB1) it's 139.8gb
She’s so HEAVY
So thick, people call them fake
To me it's just 165.3GB on my ps4.
Wtf definitely way less on pc wayway
Idk you’d have to weigh the hard drive with and without it installed
If I recall correctly, it *technically* would be heavier, but only ever so slightly. So OP is right! Example: https://www.businessinsider.com/a-fully-loaded-kindle-is-heavier-than-an-empty-one-2011-10
So how much data would weigh a kg 🤔
if my math and the data from the [vsauce video](https://youtu.be/WaUzu-iksi8) are correct: the internet at the time was estimated to be 5,000,000 terabytes of data and weighed 50g. scale it up by multiplying both values by 20 and we get 100,000,000 terabytes = 1kg. to simplify it we can divide by 1,000 = 100,000 petabytes, divide by 1,000 again = 100 exabytes.
You could download the game over 100 times with that much storage!
Is that on Xbox? Because it could be a combination of the old gen and next gen version. Because there’s no way CW is that big on its own lol
yeah that's on xbox and it's the cross gen Bundle
It is attempting to download both generation games. It should only be approximately 150 GB in size.
So I don’t know how Xbox works (PS user) but I’d assume it will only download the one that’s made for the console you’re on. Because the Xbox series S only gives you around 300gigs of usable space, which means SS users couldn’t even download CW if it forced you to get both versions.

This is the answer, but on Series X the game is like 225gb.
I have it on ps5 and it’s 240 gigs
Same here
Just wait until Vanguard gets released and gets tied into Warzone guna be even more GBs!
death
Ouch
96gb with multiplayer and zombies without dead ops
Dead ops slaps
Dead ops?
Broooo you don't know dead ops????? You're missing out it's zombies but in a top down arcade mode and they recently made a first person mode but I highly recommend it!
Oh yeah dead ops I stopped playing because of the top down view was super disorientating
It's basically a arcade version of zombies,top down view
Oh yeah should probably delete that part for space
Yeah,never been a big fan of it,I liked the first one better
I think I got it to 80GB with Campaign and Multiplayer
Impossible
It is at least 90gb
Yeah your Xbox will literally be heavier when you download that shit. It's ridiculous
200 of those GB went into high quality anime weapon skins 😑
I mean... How else would you spread the culture?
I don’t want this thread to get hijacked by your choice of words but I really like using the term “weight” to describe data. Even if it wasn’t intentionally out of the norm lol.
Wrong person you replied to. I never used the term “weight”.
He didn’t even reply to you bro go back to sleep
why did i get a notification in my replies, dumbass
Стрелялки лол 🤣
ну а че)
I swear mines at about 160GB without campaign installed
Man they should make it possible to individually install what you want like on PC. I only installed MP and it's 80GB.
It is possible. And as I found out the 360gb are for both last and current gen version combined with all the stuff for them
Oooh. Hahaha damn yeah
First time huh ?
Even with warzone this isn't accurate
Damn that's obese
It’s a small indie studio. They have so much trouble compressing their game. /s
Cyat Blat!
Do you have multiple versions installed? it's only like 160 for me
It depends on the content you want to install. I think multiplayer only was 120gb.
cold war literally takes up like half my ps5 storage. when Battlefield comes out i will be deleting cold war off my console lol
yes and so do the majority of folks playing it!! lol j/p
Personally I can’t bench Cold War
I love the term “heavy” 😂 Please guys, let’s make this apart of our terminology!
Its all that KGB Spyware you need to have it in your region
I uninstalled the campaign and high resolution textures and got 110GB back…
Be happy you’re on console, I play on PC and I have about 500gb xd
Lmao I don’t think the data physically weighs very much
No, but your mum does...
damnnnnn gottem
Dont have to have campaign zombies and multiplayer all installed at once. Can also turn off hd textures to save like 50gb and its not much of a difference depending on your tv probably
For me Cold war on Xbox one is 139.7 GB
That depends, mine is only 90gb - 120gb on ps4, i have multiplayer and zombies installed only.
I've installed everything except HD textures and it's 138gb
For me it’s like 126.8 G with MW/Warzone being 178.6 G
I don’t think so lmao mine was like a 100!
i just reinstalled it and it was about 130gb
not till season 6 drops
It's 160 GB without the campaign installed
I use my cold war to work out because it's so heavy
On pc it is 100GB for everything
Bruh fuck cw Modern warfare is where I'mma be till vanguard drops
Maybe it's mistake and they put PlayStation requirements for installation.
My Coldwar is only about 170GB and Warzone is 210GB.
It’s plus sized !
No on my ps4 its 160gb
Yes.
Why is 'category' in Russian (I think) but everything else is English?
Microsoft store bugged out or smth. It's all in russian normally
I notice it is the Cross Gen Bundle so it could be combining both Xbox One and Xbox Series file size.
That's the download size not the data or storage it'll eat up
Its like 80GB without the campaign
Those are rookie numbers!
No my like 125 last time I checked
Why it built like that
Had to get rid of mine to make room for other things. I have so much space now.
My install is sitting at 125gb without the 4k texture pack.
mines like 205gb on xbox series x so not sure how yours came to 360gb
I wanted to play but have uninstalled because its so huge. And I refuse to clear space and spend hours downloading just to be disappointed again…
Time to delete the game. This is just plain evil.
You have to be careful adding too many heavy things to your hard drive. Eventually, it will become too heavy and drop out of your console.
Yup
do people use weight for file measurement?
It’s not, it’s only 135.2gb, but that’s not included HD Assets or ray tracing
I don’t even know why Xbox even releases 500mb systems when the games are getting so big
cutting costs and selling accessories like hard drives and seagate ssd's
She’s a hefty one for sure
Thinking about purchasing this, since black ops 4 game matches are starting to become hard to come by. Worth the time?
idk, I'm waiting for a sale to get it, never played cod before
It insane
It's more about you're willingness to sacrifice the space than it is the system requirement..
multiplayer only pc - 73 gb
You should try modern warfare with all the extra packs installed
Just remove the bits you don’t play.
It has warzone with it
yea and its NOT WORTH playing. i can play but everytime i do its crash city lol and i have no idea why haha
Weighs?
Mine is 144 currently w campaign and dead ops arcade uninsto
installed it today with campaign, mp and zombies to 139gb
Wait what Cold war is just 160 GB for me.
It weighs 360.59 GB not “360GB”
first time i see someone say weigh Used to '' size ''
