Why Does Call of Duty Take So Much Space?
My COD takes up a lot of storage space and even though I'm allowed to tweak which contents I want to have installed and uninstall the rest in the 'manage files' option in COD HQ settings. But even with just Warzone, the game took up almost 100GB of space. Why does Call of Duty take so much space? Any tips to free up space? Thanks!

The large file size of Call of Duty games, particularly Modern Warfare III, can be attributed to several factors:
- Integrated and increased content: The game file size is significantly larger due to the extensive amount of content available at launch, including various modes such as Warzone and Zombies, as well as carry-over content from previous titles like Modern Warfare II.
- High-quality assets: The games feature high-resolution textures and detailed graphics, which require more storage space.
- Map sizes: The maps in Modern Warfare are larger and more complex than those in earlier titles, which also adds to the overall storage requirements.
- Updates and Patches: Regular updates and patches can cause the file size to grow over time, as each update may introduce new content or features that require additional space.
