I got Call of Duty: Modern Warfare on PC down from 231GB to 168GB Close shave. News by Wesley Yin-Poole Deputy Editorial Director Updated on 14 Oct 2020 23 comments This morning's Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and Warzone update adds mode-specific uninstall options on PC, and using it I was able to get the game's install footprint down to 168GB. After downloading the ~20GB patch, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and Warzone weighed in at a whopping 231GB on PC. Within Battle.net is a basic mode-specific uninstall manager that lets you ditch the campaign, multiplayer and / or spec ops. Warzone, however, is required and cannot be uninstalled, which is annoying if you just want to play Modern Warfare. Here's how the options work out: Campaign: 34.53GB removed Multiplayer: 42.12GB removed Spec Ops: 37.83GB removed As I'm done with Modern Warfare's campaign and have no interest in Spec Ops, I ditched both of those, keeping multiplayer. That took off 72.37GB, leaving me with a new install footprint of 168GB - and room to download the Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War open beta, which weighs in at 42.20GB on PC and launches tomorrow. Watch on YouTube While I'm happy to be able to shrink the overall Modern Warfare footprint on my PC, 168GB is still a hell of a lot of space to take up for Warzone and multiplayer. Infinity Ward production director Paul Haile said Warzone cannot be uninstalled from Modern Warfare because "that's where all the shared data is stored for weapons/operators/etc. that are needed for all modes. The only Warzone specific data that gets pulled along is the map and it's not that much data compared to all the weapons and operators". "In other words: you would not save much space at all by uninstalling Warzone but still needing all the data for MP."
