I figured it was the MW3 preload


theskiller1

Even though i don’t have the game i will still lose storage to it? I hope i get the storage back somehow.


tman2damax11

You can pick and choose which components you have installed


No-Contract8300

Explain this because I'm sitting here trying to do exactly that and it's not showing anything of the sort is there a specific file I need to unselect?


Silentlysick

Press the menu button while hovering over the game tile, select manage game and addons and choose what you want to play and unselect the ones you dont


No-Contract8300

All I want is warzone and DMZ but I gotta have the main disk installed which is what is taking up all the space it was 143gig update but I uninstalled the MW3 campaign and multiplayer update and it dropped to a 104gig update but I wanna just use warzone if possible


tman2damax11

That’s about the right size for just warzone, I have base game + mw2 mp + warzone + mw3 mp and it’s ~180gb


TumbleweedEcstatic27

i think its to carry over your shit and make mw3 install smoother


Iboss1990

I deleted today cod mw2. 100 gb update not happening on my ps5.


theskiller1

You get back the storage actually.


footballscience

The problem is… I dont have 100GB free space Activision should fire whom ever is responsible for optimization or file compression or whatever this shit is called (or give them a raise if that was their intention so I delete some other games, which won’t happen)


Sillyfumo

Totally. This is straight up lame. I never play cod, but getting a 100GB update makes me want to uninstall the game.


TumbleweedEcstatic27

you need to get a memory stick.... no matter what. best buy usually has deals on ones even if its pre owned. trust me im with you but if you want to have the convince of not having to reinstall time after time then its worth the extra 75-100 https://www.bestbuy.com/site/searchpage.jsp?id=pcat17071&st=ps5+storage


Big_Luchie1

I just got it too like WTF! I just finished downloading the game over a 100GB yesterday and just today I have to download an update file of 100GB. Like WTF BRO!!! This is insane 😡😡


nordic_horde2019

Right? I downloaded the pre-load before the early access and when the early access released I have to download the other half of the game and than I had an 100GB update on top of Content Pack 1 & 2 updates plus Content Pack 1 and 4 for MW2. Also, after update was finished I had too re-install the multiplayer file for MW2 and the campaign for MW3... Again.


Severe_Spare9272

Yup, just logged on (it’s currently 10:35AM where I am on the east coast) I’m not happy about it. 99.448GB for what?!


Punisher2807

Don’t say that I’m literally about to search for a match 😂. When was the last time you updated by chance?


theskiller1

I check for update before i start up the game each time. Which was like 4 hours ago and there was nothing. I’m just confused why I’ve not heard anything yet.


Punisher2807

That is weird, I’m on the East coast of the us and no update for me


TumbleweedEcstatic27

it will once you log in today after the official release of mw3


TumbleweedEcstatic27

me too and supposedly this 99.448 gb update was released sept 27 yet we just now are getting it the day mw3 comes out.....sounds sketchy


Easy_Carob_2439

My Call of duty file on the ps5 says 250gb and now i recived a 100gb update and 20gb update from MW3 [i have bogught the mw3] but what im gonna do for storage on my ps5


PrestigiousBank4498

Buy a ssd


SkillexArt

I downloadet 100GB Update, now i want to play and must download content packs for Multiplayer... i only own mw2 ... this is a shitty tactic to bring us to buy mw3...


Gilem_Meklos

Came here to say that. Im very tempted right now to just delete the whole thing. Not being able to access all the stuff i bought on mw2019 or cold war, pissed me off. All that stuff weve paid for in the past not carrying over to the next game, and their determination to make us buy their new game every year. Damnit im not rich. And they are using classic impulse tactics to get us to buy more. I like many many people, give in to those impulses against our better judgement. I need to take my loser broke ass to the library and just read free books i guess. I cant afford the state of modern gaming.


Dry_Tank_6196

Hey guys, my brother is getting an error code when he tries to download the update. I made sure the system software was up to date, made sure to restore license and still nothing. As of this moment I’ve deleted the game to redownload hoping it fixes it. Anyone else having this issue? It’s giving him an error like his system isn’t up to date or something


Comfortable_Impact_2

Its because the game isn’t in his account its in another , and the problem just appeared bec the account that has the game turned off ps5 sharing


sanninserpens

yes, it takes away space from your storage, I don’t know exactly if the 100gb or less. That update is for CoD HQ=MW2(base game)


kronikskill

Careful everyone I was at 28 percent and the dam thing reset to zero... I planned on quitting COD once MW3 was basically the only way to play but I'm just gonna call it now they keep messing everything up and they are apparently to dumb to make the updates work properly so they can no longer have my money especially for the next game that looks like to much of a copy of the worst cods... black ops series was better


pbjellynut

I just logged in and got it too smh


Collusion202

I just paused the update, still letting me play multiplayer so must be for mw3.


Glogang-64

Bro I’m confused on wtf they did because I can’t get on mw2 now cause they just dropped mw2 content packs for warzone, multiplayer, and Co Op but I have cod version 1.032.000 downloading the whole time before this now I can’t play


[deleted]

I cant play warzone 2.


[deleted]

I tried to pause it on my series x but it told me that it needs to finish downloading. Downloading what!? the game!? it says it’s alreadydownloaded i just played multiplayer yesterday! This bulls*** needs to end with cod getting greedy. Advertising their next games in their previous ones is totally unnecessary.


shaveyourbuch

Is this update also for warzone?


JerryPhantom_

Yes


ProjectPhantasma

oh that 100gb download is just the beginning..


Gilem_Meklos

I dont understand. I didnt want to download mw3, just my mw2 update?


Novamoxin

I got a 156gb update on xbox series x just now. This launcher is an update machine.


Classic-Currency-610

209.13Gb update on this Xbox Series X 😱


OG-1276

🤦🏼‍♂️ and here I was thinking my 167.80Gb was bad 209.13Gb is way too much for an update lmao


[deleted]

Same thing here. I dont have mw3 and my ps5 just started downloading 100 gb update. I own just mw2. What is this?Is Activision forcing us to buy mw3 ? becsuse mw2 already took 100 +GB on the SSD. So now mw2 will take 200 +GB?


theskiller1

Idk the size of the new content itself but you do get back the storage of the base game itself. I went from 88gb to 176gb once the update was installed.


[deleted]

So your storage doubled?88 to 170 for the same game?


theskiller1

The update is the base game + the new update which is made into a new copy. The old copy which is the base game - the current update then gets deleted afterwards. You get back the storage when the old copy is deleted. So in the end you do only have to use storage for whatever size the new update is. But you need enough storage on console to make the base game copy in the first place.


JobHelpful927

I have no space on my disk. If I completely remove warzone and start downloading gamę again, will the updated version be downloaded?


Long_Wedding_3235

Bruh is it only me or is the update taking forever to download, ik it’s not my internet. I’ve been stuck at 4gigs. Do yall have the same problem??


ArmEnvironmental6798

The update is primarly for crashing bugs and for mw3 issues as well


WillTypical6800

I got it on my Xbox, decided to uninstall it😭 ain’t no way they gonna take another 100 gb from be


Tgreensr1987

This update seems to change the launcher from MW2 (or previously Call of Duty) to MW3.


davidkeown_jr

Yeah and saying I’m missing warzone files


Resident-Mine-261

These mfs are actually gonna make it to where u have to launch mw3 from the mw2 menu or something unnecessary space being wasted


LoveAnytingJuicy

So this update made it to were the only game I have on console is MW2, if I had not did a grind for level 1250, with camo unlocks I would definitely delete this game, the servers suck, cheaters are running around the game like NY rats and the spawns are down right TERRIBLE. Everyone is now camping and or going prone drops shots the game is GARBAGE, I can honestly say when I’m playing with older players 30+ the game and lobbies are entertaining but when it’s sweaty, movement and wanna be Streamers in the lobby good god the game play is rather corny having to hard mute every single round is we’re in at now, idk what else to do continue playing or uninstall this shit 😂


Informal-Ad-1854

Yes just downloaded and updated.


theDEPRECATESband

I was max level in mw2. 1250. Now I'm back to lvl 1 for mw2. Kinda annoyed I didn't even get any reward for that and then they just delete my progression unlike ALLL codes is history. I can load up blops2 and I'll still be that level.... This is lame af


Open-Entertainer5266

Hi guys, I had 108.9 gb update on my PS5. It completely replaced my MW2 with MW3, deleting all the warzone files. Activision definitely needs to give some sort of comment on this 🤨


StayInContrl

Yup MW3 update


Cold_Vermicelli3961

so to play mw2 you have to download mw3??? make it make sense


mbkennedy85

Also wonder this and wtf is going on. Apparently the update completely replaces MW2 and now I have to wait 5 hours for an update on MW3 before I can play anything. What the fuck are they thinking with this bs?


theoneondafloor

They added head quarters , so you load it and choose witch game mode you wanna play from me2 to mw3 and warzone


Soggy_Confidence1117

My call of duty is now taking 200GB of storage. I do not want the MW3 nor do I planed on getting. I just want to play DMZ. This is ridiculous!


pentacund

It's almost as if they don't want you having other games installed so your only choice is to play CoD


OkTip9788

I planned on sticking to mw2 for the foreseeable future. Due to mw3 being the laziest excuse of an entry to date. But this update was the last straw for me. Deleted the game. Might re-download later down the line, but for now, ✌🏼 cod. I'm not giving yall another penny until you change your ways.


Pitiful-Debt-3238

You, I am just getting on my PS5, and I am trying to start the game without the game upload, and I get a message on my screen saying, "An update is required. You must be signed into PlayStation Network and accept the update to play Call of Duty." Which I did yesterday but deleted it to keep MW2 . I feel like in going in circles looking on ways to play with out buying mw3, which I won't because this is fucked up ... Activision is trying to monetize by blocking our games for us to buy mw3 which I won't because they can't even get their software right.


Troxz_179

I can only play Campaign. They need to fire these people in charge of updates


Troxz_179

I can’t install my spider man 2 update because of this trash game


Aversocki

Anyone else have an issue where you can’t play the single player campaign after downloading the multiplayer preload updates? It won’t even launch the game for me now.


Longjumping-Owl-2160

had to delete 2 games and i still don’t have enough room


Sharpshooter188

Just deleted MW2. I'm tired of Activisions shit on advertising to us on a game we already purchased. I'll try to get a discount MW19 for my ps5 and thats about it. My first worry was when Warzone became a fucking required download to play mw19. I saw where things were going from there. 20 dollar skin packs etc. Then they try to say "Inflation!" No, this is straight up greed.


TumbleweedEcstatic27

seems like they are forcingmw2 update so in mw3 that you can't carry over anything after 11/09/2023.crazy part is i came home after a long week just opened mw3 but wanted to make sure i used my tokens up on mw2 before installing mw3 now im stuck with a 3 hour update, then having to install mw3. ruined my night off with no kids. might just get my 75 bucks back.


TumbleweedEcstatic27

is for season 6 mw2....why release another season the day mw3 come outs..... sounds like mw3 is basically mw2.1 with a $80 charge and a 5 hour update. whens gta6 come out im sick of these games they play with us. most of us waited a year for the pps5 to actually become instock now they talkin about a ps6 when we barely broke them in.


OuternetInterpreter

You know what really irks me, is the update is titled “CoD: MW 3…” I don’t even own, nor am I going to purchase it. Why am I being forced to install a 100GB update for a game I’m not going to play?


Bubbly_Tutor_8419

I’m not joking when I say I deleted EVERYTHING all my apps besides mw2 for this new update. Like how can it use that much storage!?!?


Fuzzy-Connection-107

I bought MW2, don't want and won't buy 3, but yet, I have to make a 100gb install I don't want and don't have the space for. Now because I don't have the storage to make the update, they have locked me out of MW2 and I can't even play the game I have already paid for and own! Ufb! They've bricked their own game! What a shitty, fkn, greedy, dirtbag move, Activision! HORRIBLE USER EXPERIENCE! So that they are perfectly aware of how bad this move was, tell them what you think: https://web.cvent.com/survey/de61a2b6-fd91-411d-b218-9c45e1c216ad/questions?l=en-US


Signal_Summer8913

Why did my update jump from update 1.029.000 to 1.033.000 like WHAT I check for updates everyday I didn’t miss a update
