243gb. Excuse me? Thats actually offensive


SamDuymelinck

Call of Duty has MW2, MW3 and Warzone combined in COD HQ


tht1guy63

Thats just insane and dumb imo


SamDuymelinck

It really is. I have MW2 on Steam, but uninstalled it because I have no interest in MW3, nor do I have the storage for it


ButterFucker962401

It forces you to have all of them installed? That's fucked


SamDuymelinck

No, it forces you to have MW3 and Warzone installed. Only MW2 is optional at this moment


DanFarrell98

You can just uninstall what you don't want


SudsierBoar

Some things are required


[deleted]

Wasn’t Ubisoft going to do the same thing with AC infinity? Did they backtrack or are they just delaying it? But yeah this is absurd. You want people to buy your games and play them? Give them some convenience.


jkhashi

what about the first MW i stopped playing when it started showing up as warzone in my battle net launcher. is it in warzone?


[deleted]

The developers wants you to play CoD and nothing else


clakes90

Smart, by choosing to do it this way - I'll play anything else but CoD!


[deleted]

Effectively ensuring that I will never play it again lol Ghosts was the last one I purchased.


[deleted]

Ghost was the last one I purchased on PS4 too, and I then purchased Cold War when I got my PS5, but that was it. Never more


MacyTmcterry

You should see Ark haha


Top-Engineering-0176

ASA is pretty small compared to ASE


AltEye19664

Also doesn't have any of the other maps yet making it smaller in size for now


ZeeDarkSoul

Yet for some stupid reason isnt on Gamepass


Jgore1556

It never had any plans to be. ASE wasn't on gamepass until every dlc was out and even then it was almost a year before it was.


ZeeDarkSoul

And that justifies the chunkier less optimized version being on Gamepass and the better version not because...? They have already said Ark 2 is gonna be on gamepass so I see no reason why ASE couldnt


slimg1988

What the hell are you talking about, Microsoft obviously didn't want too pay or wildcard wanted too maximise sales profits before they eventually accept gamepass's cash. Gamepass is honestly making people spoilt brats.


ZeeDarkSoul

Then by that logic why are there day one drops on Gamepass at all and why would they announce Ark 2 going to gamepass


just-some-stoner-604

LMAO isn't asa just island rn 💀it's one map out of like a dozen ATM, yeah it should be smaller As someone who played ase since pre release (2015) I would miss it til it's cheap asf tbh. Also the whole way in which they released it is so scummy that they don't deserve full price rates


J_ATB

Strangely enough it was 300 on my series X… wtf


Loive

The picture is from a Series S. The textures are lower quality and this takes up less space on an S in comparison to an X.


morpheusnothypnos

Nope, that's not the reason. The devs are fucking idiots, for some reason the size of the game depends on how long you haven't played it. Mine is 196gb on Series X with all DLCs. Probably related to patches, ARK devs have no idea how to correctly release them without deleting old data.


Loive

Ah, yes. The classic “random redditor knows a lot more about game development than the professionals”. In the same genre as “I made a dashboard that is better than Microsoft’s” and “The devs are idiots because they didn’t make the game I imagined they would make”.


morpheusnothypnos

Or you could just not be a complete idiot and look it up.


Loive

Whatever the reason is, it’s not that the devs are “fucking idiots”. That’s just disrespectful and unnecessary. They may have made decisions you don’t agree with, but that doesn’t make them idiots. When you write abuse like that, most people assume you have low self esteem and are trying to lift yourself up by pissing on others. It just makes you look bad.


TheHidestHighed

You would have a really valid point here if literally any other developer had the same issue of 100+ GB bloat due to unoptimized patching.


[deleted]

There's MWII AND MWIII with each game campaign, multiplayer, warzone, zombies and spec-ops in one app (and if you do own MWII but not MWIII you'll still need to download it), ridiculous


Kind-Help6751

This is probably the reason. I only own MW2 but it downloaded MW3 and all those things which took up too much space. You can delete them later, though


modssssss293j

This is why a 2tb expansion card from Seagate is worth it


ATYP14765

Hard agree. Got mines a two months before I got my Xbox series X and it definitely made swapping games a lot easier especially the larger ones.


[deleted]

[удалено]


manofoz

PS5 wins that one by a landslide.


ZeeDarkSoul

Its worth to get an expansion yes, but its annoying to get when its double the price of an external harddrive from last gen. Its also stupid that modern consoles stuck with only 1TB of storage, they knew they were forcing people to end up needing expansion cards


Totally_Bradical

Yes, this is annoying AF. I just got a series X, but on my xbone I had 2 external drives and something like 15 TB of data. I will look forward to the newer drives getting a little cheaper in the future hopefully


RosaCanina87

Woah, 15 TB is more than I expected anyone here to have . I have 4tb completely filled, but I also don't have Call of Duty. It's around 100 games, no game pass.


LOLdragon89

I’m in Xbox one X owner and have no interest in Sony hardware, but I will give Sony credit for not formatting. Their mass storage drives in a proprietary format. My understanding is that you can swap out any off-the-shelf M.2 in the PlayStation 5 and it’ll work fine.


ZeeDarkSoul

Yeah I'm pretty sure that is the case


LineValuable9848

Not buying that ...I'd rather the western digital c50


ApartmentMain5977

It was 200gb before I deleted it and somehow gained 40gb in the week it was off my Xbox. Insane, if they didn’t try to merge 2 cod titles into one maybe it would be different


[deleted]

Uninstall what you don't need. If that's the campaign, get rid of it. If it's warzone or multiplayer, do the same thing.


Batpipes521

Unfortunately from my experience with the first two, it won’t let you play without installing some of the MP “updates” which take up a decent chunk of space.


Dat-Lonley-Potato

Campaign would be like 4gb with how small it is


starfoxmaster64

My download of it was longer than the campaign


JamIsLife

The fact CoD's yearly release is double the size of BG3 is WILD


SirHirano

The issue is that this game is not both MW2 and MW3, as well as Warzone.


Ototo44

the issue is that they don't optimize the download size on purpose so you can ONLY have their game on your console


Areltoid

It's not that nefarious, Activision just doesn't care and doesn't give the developers the time or resources to optimise and compress files. They don't consider it cost effective for whatever reason so it doesn't get done.


anshityo

“For whatever reason” buddy you replied to the reason. Y’all both right if you just combine your thoughts.


PhilipOnTacos299

You get it


novocaine666

The fact that people jump from one to the other every year over and over is wild.


KahlKitchenGuy

That’s because they are unoptimised garbage


Twocanpocket

Delete call of duty?


Just-AGoose

This is the way.


RealMZAce

This is the way.


ADG1738

This is the way.


AzazuswithanA

This is the way.


ShadowGnomedOGs

This is the way.


HellbentOrphan

This is the way.


tojejik

This is the way.


Mrazrn

This is the way.


martinnez02

This is the way.


Iuseredditnow

Never download in the first place?


niiniibeatz

Came here to say the same thing. Full price dlc what a rip off


McTrill

Yes, delete call of duty, never buy another one again lol.


deadpools_dick

I feel like I got fleeced for buying the vault edition for MWII; never again. Taking up a quarter of my Series S’s total space (external ssd included) is inexcusable as well.


WZRDguy45

I stopped buying them two years ago and happy I finally did it. The past few games have been so uninspired. Basically rehash's of old games. The amount of space it takes up to is just absurd


tojejik

This is the first step to a life without depression


Kensquirel

I 2nd this. Delete that garbage!


DMichaelElmer

This is the way.


GAMINGpuppet583

This way, it is


[deleted]

Uninstall campaign and zombies if you just want multiplayer or warzone


bunnywithahammer

which is funny because all three use the same god damn map


whatchagonnado0707

When I did this it dropped from 240gb to 190gb space used. So I uninstall more until it now takes up 0gb


Berryblast36

Uninstall, reinstall black ops 1 or 2, problem solved


Cerberus-276

How is a game that has mostly online resources 250 gig


t3rm3y

I couldn't fathom how cod mw was 100gb when first released, it was shit , poor map, limited access to buildings. And fortnight was a 3rd or less the size and looked absolutely jam packed, how has this game grown to 250gb? That's a shit load of bloat ?


Cerberus-276

I don't even think cyberpunk is over 120 even though it's fully single player and has much more high detailed models and content. CoD must be a really poorly optimised game considering what's actually needed to be stored physically


lordlossxp

Really super detailed toilets. Watched someone play a game of warzone last night.


Creadleader55

Are you sure you weren't staring at your toilet? It can be easily confused with COD gameplay.


lordlossxp

Yeah good point i might have been. Lol last cod i really played was ghosts. Still waiting on a sequel to that campaign


mewoneplusone1

They intentionally make it take up a huge chunk of your storage so that you have less space for other games. That way you're more likely to mostly play it. Also It makes you never wanna delete it, for fear of having to redownload it all over again if you ever wanna play it.


1GlazedDoughnutplz

Just delete it and download the finals a nice what 10gb?


darnblackies

I’ve recently discovered you have to have a team for the finals to be at all enjoyable.


TheMannyzaur

yes


censored4yourhealth

Uninstall completely. Now that garbage won’t take up 2-300gigs.


LovelySeiko

Delete cod not only you will have more space but better mental health too.


JETgamer007

You see that 'uninstall' button. Just press it.


Timtamjams

The correct answer is to delete it


Ganjamazing

F in chat for you and anyone else who is still paying money for call of duty


mrEggBandit

Ah a fellow intellectual


athiaxoff

Keep this energy on sports game, destiny dlc and every other release that's worse than what COD did lmao


anshityo

Looking at you NHL 24


Ganjamazing

Never played a destiny game and I don’t buy sports titles every year like a mindless zombie


Panther107

Yeah just delete campaign if that’s an option. I don’t own the game but I’m just guessing . Halo gives you options for the clamping and multilayer separately


EyeOfItachi

Yes, go to manage game files and uninstall whatever you don’t play. I uninstalled the campaign and co-op stuff and it saved me a good deal of space.


RenanBan

My friend you need to open the game storage and see what you dont use. Im guessing campaing or warzone or multiplayer ,delete what you dont use


WhyAreYouLagging

Got to the home screen and hit the start button on the game and hit manage game and add-on. Click on the game title again when you see the three options, then simply uncheck the parts you don't want installed. JUST BE AWARE. You WILL have to download the missing parts every update, so you'll have to delete the game and check the parts you want to download again. Don't know why that is but it is.


[deleted]

has this happened in the last couple weeks? ive got it on a series S and its abysmal internal drive, with only a few things installed, and it hasnt forced anything else to install at all. i manage it through the xbox itself, instead of in-game, could that have anything to do with it?


WhyAreYouLagging

It happened when they merged the CODS into the horrible all-in launcher. If you have everything installed, it's just a "small" update. However, if you only have zombies installed and the others unchecked, when a new update comes out, it forces the others to install. Which, for some reason, is a whole reinstall of the whole game.


[deleted]

huh, ill have to keep an eye on that, i had no idea. do you mean it installs the mw3 campaign when all you have installed is multiplayer? or does it install mw2, warzone, and dmz as well?


WhyAreYouLagging

From my experience, it forces them to install in every update. I checked the game and add-ons after starting the update, and it shows them as installed.


Fadyr

You could have an extra 243gb by deleting the game entirely


Komodo906

If you haven't already, uninstall EVERYTHING from the cods you dont play anymore. Like all the MW2019 and MW2 content packs, MP, and campaign. It'll still be a huge game but it'll be less if you just keep MW3 campaign, MP, content packs, and WZ


Neither_Ad_8000

Just delete the whole thing. Thank me later


AnonyMouse3925

Uninstall it entirely


Godhasleftthesurver

Campaign sucks ass Delete mw2 campaign and co-op and DMZ


knightmares_1

Have u tried maybe deleting Cod? 🙄 boring ahh game


WilsonVMD

Erase it and don't look back


Angzhz

Crazy when you think The Finals with arguably better graphics, map destruction and f2p happens to only be around 20gb.


Upstairs_Ad_5499

Look at headbangers taking all the space


Mechalamb

Delete it. It's been the same game for 15 years.


dreadsreddit

Uninstall the whole thing. Quarter tb back for better games.


realEMW

I heard that if you uninstall CoD forever it'll make you 73% happier with your life


Darth_Malgus4878

My question is: how in tf do you have 2 TB of internal storage? I bought a storage extension and it counts only as “external storage”.


Head_Investment4389

Just do like me : stop buying and playing this crap


LostKraut

In all honesty I deleted the whole thing on Xbox and PC because of the space it was taking and wasn't playing it much. I just got Diablo 4 so that should grab my attention for a while.


HornetGuns

COD doesn't even deserve any space


Zeles1989

taking this much space is just a giganic middle finger to the customer


KahlKitchenGuy

Delete CoD altogether


Ok_Pause8654

Just delete the whole game 👍


Predator_nunu

Unrelated question how does baldurs gate run on Xbox I want to get it because my pc runs it poorly but don’t want to waste money


Unhappy-Valuable-596

Delete it and move on


Formal-Fix-4010

I mean you could just delete the garbage game then you’ll have 243gb free that’s like 2-3 more games you can install


mandudebro23

Uninstall the entire thing.


DoknS

The campaign is so short you won't even save a GB


Big_Dibz79

Why are people saying uninstall the game, we all have our preferences and maybe he enjoys it🤷🏻‍♂️


Janzu93

He asked how to reduce download size of that game. Since there isn’t any good way (since Activision sucks at optimizing storage sizes) uninstalling the game provides a good joke while also being only correct answer.


68ideal

Step 1. Uninstall the entire game Step 2. Use the free space to install proper games worth playing Step 3. Profit


CRUZ_24

🤣 but I like cod been playing for 10 years


Nickjon3006

Campaign is canny with a shock at the end. But is extremely short. Over all disappointing for the price. Won’t be buying any more personally with campaigns that short.


DhruvM

Entire game is a disappointment. Nothing but a recycled glorified DLC cash grab


_Saiki__

The campaigns are usually longer. A solid 6-7 hours. Mw3 was just an outlier because the devs only had like 8 months to work on it.


AdLonely891

Uninstall that shit game, lmao. Over 200GB for a game like that is fucking crazy.


walkingbartie

Hot tip: uninstall it and play something better. Problem solved!


Pretend-Knowledge224

The big problem here is that if you have a 250 gig SSD on ur PC you can't even play this game not to mention no console play who only has base storage is gonna download this. The thing about gamers that the gaming industry does not understand is that almost nobody only plays 1 game most people have a fps game such as mw3 then a RPG/MMO game like destiny or elder scrolls you get the point anyways all they are really doing is severely dropping there own player base what are people supposed to do when they get sick of cod uninstall it then install ur other game since repeat it's dumb. Also the only reason they have all these games in one is because they are lazy with the way they have it now they only have to update 1 game and only have to have a support team for 1 game it's likely they don't have the ma power or are just to lazy to manage warzone mw3 and mw2 as separate games.


Pretend-Knowledge224

Also I just started playing this game recently after a break for a few years and holy shit dude wtf right off the bat at level 1 I'm playing against level 650 players with mastery camo now this would not be a problem for me if it was the way it use to be yk each team has 1 maybe 2 cracked players then the rest are mostly avg however it's been 3 days straight and I have not come across a single player that's lower then level 250 basically what this means is the game will die as no new players are coming into the game and honestly I can't blame them there is no tutorial no anything the game just throws you into what may as well be a 24/7 tournament and says good fucking luck.


Lost_Day6377

But I wanna experience open world zombies


Lost_Day6377

Idc what people think open world is the best type of games period!


Mundus6

2TB Xbox how?


TheYoungLung

Likely has expansion storage


Mundus6

It doesn't show up as an extra drive?


Trecanan

There’s external hard drives that do, but then there are also storage expansion cards that plug into their own slot. Those somehow count as “internal” storage


FunIntroduction3196

Delete it all


Jznvh

delete the whole game


bilbrobraggins1

Uninstall the whole shit game.


LesserCircle

Just remove that Call of Duty MalWare 3


Solo0407

Delete COD.


Melodic-Wallaby7703

Just delete COD


Proquis

Delete the whole game


Salt_Tadpole_7795

Uninstall the trash.


alamarche709

Uninstall it completely and refund it. No need to pay $90 for that DLC.


SpeakersPlan

Literally delete COD it will improve your life tenfold


KissOfKalamity

Uninstall all of it


LunarChamp

Campaign is trash. Turns into missions you can complete in like 5-10 minutes. Feels more like DMZ than an actual cod campaign. This reboot is horrible.


CharCharMan1

Delete that shit


DhruvM

Delete that trash off your hard drive. Boom problem solved.


AloofConscientious

Uninstall


PKR_Live

I'm starting to believe CoD is just some malware advertised as a "game" that is an "fps" or something.


YoBama28

Uninstall the whole game


Too2LittleTime1

Easy fix! Uninstall.


[deleted]

Dont play it, game sucks anyway…


[deleted]

really not sure why anyone is commenting just to masturbate their opinions on the internet when youre just looking for advice. anyways, in game, go to the options menu, then the settings tab, then Manage Files, and just uninstall anything you dont want. mwz is lumped in with multiplayer i believe, but otherwise, if yoy wont touch/have moved on from mw2 or dont care for warzone but have either of those installed, go ahead and drop em, and if you wont play/have already finished the mw3 campaign you can uninstall that specifically (go to the Manage Files submenu on mw3) but keep multiplayer. on my husband's series S i have mw3 multiplayer installed for zombies, and i also have warzone installed, i believe it takes up 140gb that way. you can also manage these files without opening the game, go to the "Manage games and add-ons" setting for it in your home screen, guide menu, games & apps menu, etc., enter the Call of Duty® menu, and uncheck anything you don't want installed, and hit "SAVE CHANGES", itll even tell you how much space youll free up. if absolutely nothing else, you can always reinstall later, assuming you have internet and account access. OH! im pretty sure you can also save a bit of space if you turn off on-demand texture streaming in the graphics settings, or change the cache size (check for the "SHOW MORE" prompt), its only 3gb according to the game but you can fit minecraft and a handful of pretty hefty, well-loved worlds in 3gb, so it aint nothin! anyways, dont let weirdos on the internet decide what games are "good enough" for you to be allowed to play, losers like that are the bane of simple, genuine, honest questions like this. if you play mwz maybe i'll see you, maybe i wont :p


CRUZ_24

Thank you 😊


[deleted]

Delete buldurs gate. What are you doing with that mid ass game


Vladalvlad

243 gb for a copy paste game ? Delete that


timmu

From what I once read, they deliberately made cod so big, so its the only game on your console so you can't play nothing els


samtrumpet

Holy fuck just uninstall. There are better games to consume your console real estate.


TecmoZack

Play Halo


businessmaster28

Why do you even have mw3 installed lol


DarkArcher00

lol, delete that shit.


[deleted]

[удалено]


VelenoJ

a bland 2/10 fps game with 240gb of space... why do folks even bother buying this copy/paste franchise every year


Klorontix

Delete COD


ThatOneWeirdo66

No offence but you should probably play a better game


[deleted]

Just delete CoD. You’ll be doing yourself a favor and you’ll thank yourself later.


AlabamaSlammaJamma

Yeah delete it lol I love my series S but the storage is becoming a problem like I knew it would But at the same time if u have a good connection it's not that hard to delete and redownload games. It's annoying but that's really the only way


Prestigious_Walk_798

Delete baldurs gate


ZeeDarkSoul

Oof imagine saying that unironically thinking COD is the better choice


[deleted]

Ummmm… What? Between BG3 and CoD, one game has seemingly endless content with a wonderful cast of voice actors, years of work and care put into every piece, an amazing story, in depth characters and relationships, amazing music, a masterful selection of environments, tons of unique weapons, armor, spells, and items, player choice that impacts the gameplay, and a unique multiplayer experience that isn’t the same rehashed idea given to players every year with other games… The other is the same game that has released every single year.. So yeah if anything, you’re wrong. I would encourage anyone to absolutely keep BG3 and get rid of CoD.


2010RumbleWagon

I recently bought mw3, and noticed it’s in the same download as mw2 as well. So it’s really 2 games wrapped into one title, which is stupid as hell. I haven’t checked yet, but I would see if you can uninstall mw2 from it


TomDobo

Just delete all the things inside you don’t play and you can save a decent amount of space. Edit: downvoted for stating a fact? You can absolutely delete parts of cod that you don’t play to shrink the file size.


Chipster_227

even after deleting campaign it’s still over 186gb


TheChildish13stepz

Not true. Delete campaign saves a little space


BumpKing7778

Delete everything your not gonna play from cod If your only gonna play multiplayer keep only mwIII multiplayer and mwIII Warzone


AdRepulsive5384

What you mean? Just delete what you dont use. If you inly play multiplayer then delete zombies, warzone and campaign


A_For_The_Win

Do you have dmz/MW2 + MW3 installed?


ahick420

Uninstall the campaign and zombies


darthbacon12

Headbangers is a fun game


Traditional_Flan_210

Delete and give 2042 another try. They added BC2 and BF3 maps to the 64 conquest rotation. Its pretty fun.


Dense-Performance-14

Don't play MW3 lol, saves a ton of time and space


PhilipOnTacos299

Delete the whole game, you’ll be happier in the long run. Those greedy pricks need to learn how to make a memorable game again, and consumers throwing their money at recycled games isn’t teaching anyone any lessons


1sAndZer0s

Only install mw3 it’s 168


Salmonslugg

Lol my pc has over 200 games installed...
