No, You Won’t Have to Lose 200 GB Over Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 and Here’s How

There’s good news for players who were scared by the recently revealed installation size of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. It looks like there’s no need to panic at all, going by yet another update on social media. It was previously rumored that the game would eat up over 200 GB of storage on PCs and consoles like Xbox and PlayStation. Thankfully, it’s not going to be the case.

Players, however, must be aware of crucial points if they want to save 200 GB on their devices. They will have the options to manage the size of the game in order to keep it under limits. This essential intel was recently unveiled by a trusted media outlet and reliable source for COD-based updates.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 doesn’t take up full 200 GB on PCs and consoles

Just hours before Modern Warfare 3’s Campaign Early Access going live, media website CharlieIntel took to X (formerly Twitter) to share some important information. The outlet tried to clarify the ongoing confusion over this year’s COD installment.

In one of its latest posts, CharlieIntel clearly mentioned that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 won’t take up 200 GB of space on players’ consoles and PCs. What they can do to reduce it is uninstalling any of the game packs they don’t require. The actual installation size of COD HQ app is 50 GB. Plus, each pack is basically an add on to the base pack. Thus, deleting any unnecessary pack will automatically decrease the overall file size of MW3.

The 50 GB size of the game is for PCs according to the official specs sheet. Which means on consoles, it may take up around 165 GB with COD HQ and Campaign packs installed. On the other hand, having just the HQ without Campaign packs weighs in around 110 GB.

Moreover, one can also expect the highly controversial No Russian mission to make a return. But it’s yet to be seen how the devs have revamped it to generate the same kind of reaction from fans that was witnessed more than a decade ago in 2009’s Modern Warfare 2.

The Campaign will have a unique addition of open-combat missions in Modern Warfare 3. They will simply provide a sort of open-world approach to the players in order to accomplish certain objectives. They will get to craft their own desired loadouts based on the given the quests while also going for endless possibilities to finish OCMs.
