Modern Warfare & Warzone dev reveals how Season 5 will impact game size Infinity Ward[jwplayer br5AuoVJ] An Infinity Ward developer has revealed why, despite its large size, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and Warzone Season 5 will actually decrease how much space the game takes up. CoD\u2019s download sizes have been a major point of scrutiny with each new season, but IW Production Director Paul Haile is letting the game\u2019s fanbase know that hard-drive space is a legitimate point of emphasis for the developers and that the upcoming August 5 update will help game size due to optimization, despite being a hefty download. this means the download will be big, but the overall size of the game will actually shrink on your consoles after you download the patch, even though we’re adding a bunch of new content for the season. \u2014 Paul Haile (@Tyrael) August 2, 2020 It\u2019s a common talking point every time a new season is on the horizon. The next generation of consoles is also on the horizon, so players aren\u2019t very interested in upgrading their current hard drives. Instead, most have to decide what titles their hearts can withstand deleting in order to keep up to date in Call of Duty. But according to Haile, although the download \u201cwill be big\u201d because it will be \u201cincluding all the new content for the season as well as optimizing our asset packs,\u201d after it is downloaded \u201cthe overall size of the game will actually shrink on your consoles.\u201d Content optimization isn\u2019t a novel concept, but it is encouraging that IW is confronting their download sizes directly and transparently. In the past, players have felt the need to either delete other titles or delete other components of Modern Warfare\u2019s full game (like its Campaign, Co-Op, or even Multiplayer packs). This patch will most certainly require a long wait and a lot of space on your system. If developers are warning, in advance, that this \u201cwill be big,\u201d then players can certainly expect it to approach the gargantuan size of Season 4\u2019s update (which hit at an intimidating 84 GB). Still, Haile has insisted that they are conscious of player hard drives and expect the title to take up less space than before once it\u2019s fully installed. That should hopefully mean that everyone\u2019s dreaded deletion deliberations will be temporary and limited to August 5, with the possibility of re-downloading once everything is completed. \ud83d\udea8 BREAKING: The first #ModernWarfare & #Warzone Season 5 trailer is here! pic.twitter.com\/EH6uL50RaK \u2014 Dexerto Esports (@DexertoEsports) July 30, 2020 Based on what we\u2019ve seen and heard about Season 5, new guns, new operators, and possible map changes are all on the horizon for Modern Warfare and Warzone. That means a bunch of new content. That content has been highly anticipated for what many expect to be the last season before Call of Duty\u2019s next title and having things optimized to take up less space should be a welcomed cherry on top.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
