The Call of Duty series has been around for the best part of 20 years since its inception back in 2003 on PC and for better or worse, the series has gotten a lot bigger in more ways than one.
As theCall of Dutyseries has evolved so too has its demands on your poor storage space whether you play onPCor consoles. Depending on which recent game you play, you could be looking at 100GB minimum (if you’re lucky) and up to 200GB depending on which content you have installed. Put it this way, if you played onPlayStation 5orXbox Series Xwith no hard drive expansion, and had no other games installed, you might be able to install three Call of Duty games with a little room to spare.
Check out our interview with the Modern Warfare III developers below!
The most recent release isCall of Duty:Modern Warfare III, a reimagining of the 2011 game and to say that it’s received a mixed reception from fans, would be an understatement. One of the main complaints of the game is its veryshort and uninspired single-player campaign. Granted, its multiplayer offering might not be perfect and is perhaps getting a little stale, but I still enjoy it for what it is.

In my review of theCall of Duty: Modern Warfare IIIsingle-player campaign, I said: “Call of Duty deserved much better than this churned-out disappointment. If you’re desperate for a bit of CoD this year, then you’ve probably already picked this game up. Otherwise, give this game a miss or at least hold out for patches to fix some issues.”
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare IIIis the culprit that can easilytake over 200GB of storage space, but if you think that its predecessor, 2022’sModern Warfare IIwould be any better, think again.
“Holy cow, where do I start? So last year I gotCoD MWIIafter a 10-year hiatus from CoD games. I played the game for a few months and haven’t touched it since,”saidRedditor Sansnom99 kicking off the discussion on the thread. “I decided to download the game again. First off, 143GB? Wtf?”

“Right when I was about to give up, I finally got to the main menu where I had to scroll down to findMWIIburied somewhere in the bloat. And had to restart the game a fourth time. What the hell? Why do I have to deal with all of this crap to play a game I paid $90 for?” they concluded. “I have honestly never seen anything like this. Do people think this is acceptable? All of this unwanted bloat and advertisements to play a game they paid full price?”
Essentially, what was once used to playCall of Duty: Modern Warfare IIhas now become a bloated HUB for recent entries and it’s fair to say that its User Interface isn’t the most pleasant to navigate regardless of whether you want to play single-player, multiplayer or just to tweak your loadout. “The UI is the ugliest thing I’ve seen in quite a while,” replied Crater_Animator.

“There were numerous times I tried to play during the free play weekend and every time I tried to play I had to update, restart, (or both), or my game crashed trying to open certain menus,” said a frustrated LocustUprising. “I finally got it open and working today… after the free weekend ended.”
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare IIIis out now on PC, PlayStation and Xbox.
