They could always use more than one disc. But looks like there's only one.

Eh, every COD on PC has given you the option of download the different parts of the game separately - campaign, zombies, or multiplayer. I suspect the bulk of the file size in this case are the two campaigns, which personally I may never download (at least not the IW one).
If you're on Xbox One, just plug in an external HDD and you're good to go.
If you're on PS4, consider upgrading the HDD.
Otherwise, you're just going to keep having this problem. The games aren't getting smaller =\

I can see the IW DLC now. Call of Duty: Finite Storage.
If game development is going to have costs continue to balloon like this, we'll have to ditch standard Blu-Ray discs completely. Guess we should start investing more in those 300GB or even 1TB Blu-Ray discs I guess. :v

I think the platform holders has to do something about this. The plug and play days are gone. Now it's insert the disc, and wait for the 80 GB that didn't fit the disc to be downloaded. I'm seriously thinking about leaving consoles and get a PC instead. The downloads are still huge, but there are other benefits.
If you leave console due to extra downloads for a platform which is only downloads, that doesn't make much sense.

And I thought GTA V and Doom 4 were bad for being 65 GB.
Sony and Microsoft basically punish you nowadays for buying retail. You can't download Day 1 patches prior to release, so while digital owners are playing the game, you're stuck downloading a massive amount of data. If you buy retail, they treat you like a 2nd class citizen despite the overwhelming majority of people doing it.

Well. Many of us buy physical because we want as less downloads as possible.

Well there is a lot of content to be fair:
2 multiplayer games with literally hundreds of hours play time
2 single player campaigns with circa 12-14 hours worth of play time
and a zombies mode with god knows how many hours, probably another 100+
Seems like a good deal in fairness.

This is madness.
Wasn't that confirmed just last week?
Yeah, that's my issue. If you have to download 80 gigs when you get the physical version of the game it's fucked up.

Not installed, but you need the Infinite Warfare disc in the drive to play MW:R.

Gotta love cod threads on gaf, everyone seems to hate the series but always make time to shit up a thread.
It's obviously not for just 1 game.

Holy....
And developers wanted to stop using discs to play a game.
Unless you're the WiiU, consoles don't play discs anymore.
Well yeah, it's 39gb of it being MWR.
I got feel the thing taking most of the space for IW is going to have be the pre-rendered cutscenes + language files. That shit takes too much space. Games really should make more languages optional downloads.
I think people said that like 30 gb of the 50 gb Titanfall download was just language stuff.

Time to get those UHD discs working.
Guys an update on the digital situation.
https://twitter.com/charlieintel/status/783742312283250689
For digital owners you don't need to download IW to play MWR. So it's only physical owners. While this doesn't effect me (mainly cause I will play IW), but this is nice for people who maybe just want to play IW SP but MWR MP and thus don't want IW to sit on the HDD.
Seems like digital owners are getting the better deal overall.

Thank God. There's no reason digital should have the same stipulation since you can't trade in digital games.

At least 10GB smaller because of the PSVR mission. We wont know about other stuff without knowing where the 90GB or so from IW comes from, if its textures. 4K Cutscenes or something else.

Nope, nope, nope. I have pretty great Wi-Fi for my area, and this would still probably take days to download. I mean I can deal with large install sizes up to a certain point but this is just insanity.

Holy fuck. I'm pretty sure that's the rest of my harddrive space if I decided to get it.
Also, here's a useful chart showing the install size increase over time. Keep in mind size varies between platforms, but still good to see at a glance:
Interesting. The Polygon article was updated with this:
So it doesn't include the IW DLC but does take into account the MWR dlc (which makes sense since it is just revamped graphically old maps. They probably have a good estimate on how big they will be.)
HDD am cry.
Yep, I posted the updated FAQ from Activision earlier. http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=219581495&postcount=234

This is an ok chart but does it take in example the dlc size? I need to check, but I think Black ops 3 is like 89 gigs on my 1tb ps4 with dlc.Also, here's a useful chart showing the install size increase over time. Keep in mind size varies between platforms, but still good to see at a glance:

Hopefully, games will go all digital next generation. It's about time we leave physical media behind. 800GB downloads for PS5 and 200GB day one patches, baby! I can't wait.
