If you’ve just turned on your consoles or PC to play some Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, you’l be greeted with today’s Modern Warfare January 22 patch! While this title update brings fixes and new stuff, it is a rather hefty download, as it requires 13GB on PS4, 18GB on Xbox One, and staggering 48GB on PC.
Now, if you found those download sizes a bit too much, sad to say that for console owners, you will need to clear more space. After downloading the intial big patch, PS4 players will be asked to download a 13GB Spec Ops pack, and for Xbox One owners, a 9GB Multiplayer pack. Note that you won’t be able to start multiplayer without downloading the additional updates (which we tested).
So, this means that for PS4 players, you will need to clear more than 25GB of disk space (13GB + 13GB), and for Xbox One, you’ll need to have more than 26GB of space (18GB + 9GB), which is kind of bonkers if you thin about it.
While someone on Reddit pointed out that you can download the 13GB Spec Ops pack and choose not to install it as to play multiplayer without eating up more disk space, you can’t choose not to download it even if you don’t Spec Ops. Believe me, I tried. If you don’t download the Spec Ops pack, the multiplayer portion of the game will not let you proceed outside of the main title screen.
Hopefully, PS4 and Xbox One owners have an extra external harddisk or two lying around, or the next Modern Warfare patch will mean that you might need to delete more than half your games to accommodate it.
i jus wanna play… 🙁
Season 1 broke my game for a week now season 2 is broken it is well
Fkn stupid. Totally fkn stupid. First DL took 2hrs, then when i think its over and i can finally play, this dumbass 2nd DL is required and unavoidable. Wt-actual-f??
Yup, I’m thinking about just deleting this whole shitshow of a game and moving onto something that doesn’t require as much updating as play time.
It’s insane how this works though. I don’t think I’ve seen a game get patches this big, no? I mean, the one I remember was NBA 2K since it was uncompressed or the way they did it was super inefficient. 🙁
My co OP wont load up now after this update. Keeps telling me I don’t have the update! 10 hours of downloading shit and it just keeps going on
I have the download version of this game. (No physical disc on PS4.) I performed the update and downloaded the 13GB Spec ops pack. When I turn the game on and go to Co OP it keeps stating I’m missing 1 or 2 of the packs. When I look in my console hard drive storage it tells me I have all 7 packs installed. When I check library on PS4 it says I have all 7 installed. I have deleted the entire game and packs 3 times now. I have deleted the packs and downloaded them straight from store still doesn’t work. It continues to say I’m missing the spec ops packs and I’m not!!! I downloaded new licensing as well!! I spent 4hrs doing this what the hell is the issue???
Does your account’s region match the disc?
I am not that good but I might help ya out
I love playing co op on this game but after this update it keeps saying download I have done this 10 times! Wtf??? Fuck this game and update
I’m seriously thinking of saying fuck this game. This is straight fucking bullshit. Fucking 24hrs of downloading shit and it’s still saying I’m missing some shit. Gtoh
The game has fucked me off asking for a continuous update which I already fuckin have ffs, hopefully the shit c**t Fu*ktards can sort it sharpish, however spec ops update I’m downloading now is 16.744GB hopefully its patched
