Summary
Ahead of the game’s launch, Activision and Sledgehammer Games released a massive update forCall of Duty: Modern Warfare 3with a file size exceeding 100 GB on consoles and PC. The new update preloadsCall of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, allowing players to immediately access the game’s modes on November 10 at 12:00 AM ET.
At launch,Modern Warfare 3players will have access to the multiplayer and Zombies modes. Those who haven’t pre-ordered the game will also be able to playModern Warfare 3’snew campaign. Although theModern Warfare 3campaign is under heavy scrutiny for its mission structure and story beats, players who complete it will earn several rewards that may be used in multiplayer. These rewards include double XP tokens, weapon blueprints, operators, and calling cards.
The preload update forModern Warfare 3is now available on Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S with a file size of 135 GB according to CharlieIntel on Twitter. Other Twitter users note that the update is smaller on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 at 100 GB, while the update for the PC version is nearly 132 GB. However, those who haven’t installed2022’sModern Warfare 2andWarzonemay need to download the update with an even greater file size. As shown in a reply by Twitter user KatKatTrollin, players installing the Call of Duty HQ launcher on consoles and PC may need to reserve up to 180 GB to preloadModern Warfare 3.
Call of Dutyfans are not pleased with the new update since the file size takes up a notable portion of a PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X console’s internal storage. Some players were also disappointed with Activision, since the company previously stated thattheModern Warfare 3file size would be smaller on launch day.
An additional storage drive seems more like a requirement for players who want to installModern Warfare 3and download more games in the near future. Fortunately, the burden may be lessened by uninstalling certain game files within the Call of Duty HQ launcher, including the entirety ofModern Warfare 2. More updates will likely increaseModern Warfare 3’sfile size after launch, however.
Players may continue to earn rewards fromModern Warfare 2andWarzoneSeason 6 withinModern Warfare 3during the remainder of the month. Season 1 is expected to begin sometime in December with updates forModern Warfare 3’s multiplayerand Zombies modes.
