Modern Warfare\u00a0<\/strong>3\u00a0<\/strong>is almost here, and Call of Duty continues to grow stronger\u00a0a good decade after the series\u2019 beginnings. With MW3 on many of our minds and a new CoD campaign underway, publisher Activision is making last-minute preparations\u00a0and answering the community\u2019s final questions before the full release drops. The publisher\u2019s latest message addresses Modern Warfare 3\u2019s download sizes and reveals just why the game is so darn big compared to its predecessor.<\/p>\n

It comes as no surprise that\u00a0Modern Warfare 3\u00a0is one of the most looked-forward-to FPS games\u00a0this year. Call of Duty invokes nostalgia in almost all of us somehow, whether that be through its reminder of simpler days or its ability to grow and evolve alongside players. Following MW3\u2019s beta access, the developer is gearing up for the shooter\u2019s full release. The file download sizes are downright massive though, and the game itself can exceed 200gb.\u00a0That\u2019s even bigger than Starfield which is 140gb.<\/p>\n

\u201cModern Warfare 3 is almost here,\u201d Activision begins its post detailing the release and file sizes. \u201cIn preparation, we would like to provide an update on file sizes which are larger than last year.\u201d The publisher explains that\u00a0the larger sizes are \u201cdue to the increased amount of content available\u201d on launch day, such as the highly anticipated open-world Zombies and items from previous games like Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone\u2019s maps.<\/p>\n
