Won’t affect me personally but that still sucks.

 

[adamsapple]

Sucks but it's already gonna be like that for game pass, so doesn't really effect me.

Also, hasn't this been the case for the last couple of MW games too ?

 

[Tsaki]

That was probably the first thing MS mandated when they bought them. Power of the Cloud will be realized in 2024

Honestly this is the best reason to have GP imo. I hate this stuff. It's the NFT of gaming.

I'm not sure, I bought the MW2 blindly and there were several things that I wish I would have researched before.

 

[BlackTron]

Note it's not just an online check, but texture streaming. Personally, I'd be less disturbed if you simply needed to log in. This means you cannot fully install the game and rely not just on a connection, but also bandwidth.

 

[Xyphie]

Texture streaming on top of the game being +300GB? Wild.

 

[Celcius]

I only buy COD for multiplayer so doesn't bother me

Right, that's why I specifically mentioned the campaign in the title. I just hate buying online only single player games. I didn't put my foot down with DLC and look at that crap now.

 

[Syphon Filter]

not surprised, drm is the future sadly.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Oh no this one hurts me to the core like PSN thing. To the core

 

[Draugoth]

The file size is also 310GB

[DeepEnigma]

Man, and we were only a GT7 ago where this was once blasphemous!

 

[ManaByte]

The game isn’t 300GB.

That’s the MAXIMUM COD HQ install if you install both the next gen and previous gen versions and all campaigns, MP, and Warzone from MW3, MW3, and BLOPS6.

[stickkidsam]

I don’t care how fuckin shiny your graphics are, it doesn’t justify always online.

 

[newtypepilot]

guys, it's ok. The 360 is an offline device!!!

 

[MiguelItUp]

Sucks to see, but this is so common these days that any "backlash" just doesn't feel as loud anymore. Would be cool to see it less, but I doubt it'll change anytime soon.

 

[BlackTron]

Anyone else wonder if the texture streaming is really just an antipiracy tactic? So that there is no way to just install and play the campaign

MS figured out how to use Series X to make people buy games. Just not how we were expecting.

Correct me if I'm wrong but the previous entries have also had this.

Edit: yes

 

[FeralEcho]

COD could return to the amazing campaigns of old and I still wouldn't buy the new ones for one simple reason....I ain't clearing up 300 GB of space just to play a 6 hour campaign.Fuck That!!!

Have some fucking respect for my time as a consumer before asking me for money.

There's a lot of incorrect information being spread around. This game alone is not 300GB.

 

[DAHGAMING]

All good here, loads of hd space on my pc and Xbox and good internet connection .

 

[DryvBy]

Blame the outstanding games media for that. They're posting it the way people are interpreting it.

I'll update the top.

 

[FeralEcho]

Yeah but still,I still shudder at the thought of installing Modern Warfare 2019 every time I'm in the mood for it... it's like 150 gb from what I remember. And yes I know you can instal only parts of it but it's just ridiculous they don't allow the games themselves to be separate to warzone.

 

[Hawking Radiation]

But why? Won't affect me but what's the reason for needing to be online to play an 'offline' campaign?

 

[SenkiDala]

There's a lot of incorrect information being spread around. This game alone is not 300GB.

I mean this is basically trolling to say it is over 300GB... I'm on my Xbox now and yes when you select COD BO6 for a couple of seconds it says "309GB" and then once it refreshes with just COD BO6 it says 122GB. I even took a picture.

VG "journalists" huh ? Who can't even check by themselves ?

I don't think you'll need to download all those, the size shown is just everything in the app. When I installed MW3 last year the dash had the option for the MW2 campaign too but I didn't need to install it to play 3.

So you can just install the campaign for BO6? If that's the case I might finally get a COD game since MW2 Remastered. I'll wait for reviews on the campaign first but so far it looks great.

Yeah, disc has been pretty much empty for a while because they are assholes.

 

[lh032]

glad i dont play cod lololol

 

[Senua]

Lame

 

[Quixz]

I guess this is for engagement recording perposes.

 

[ZoukGalaxy]

No problem, take this, you and every single game that require Internet to play SOLO.

 

[Mythoclast]

Bro, who doesn’t have a persistent and permanent connection to the Internet these days? Unless you are the 0.00001% who live on the woods, why does this have to an issue anymore? Time to move on.

 

[Kilau]

How do you mean? Game pass games can be played offline.

 

[BoxFresh123]

 

[Feel Like I'm On 42]

Texture streaming on top of the game being +300GB? Wild.

So let's say someone actually buys this ....in 10 years when they shut down servers you won't be able to play the game with full detail? Another reason why "online only" can burn in hell.

These fucking suits have no shame, nor do these studios who sign on for this

 

[Kilau]

It’s funny, because now they call everything Game Pass, it almost works like a tier system for CoD access.

I always imagine the people complaining about this are at their local library posting on NeoGaf on the shared computer or something

 

[IAmRei]

If they are trying yo use constant internet streaming texture, it would be a problem for short internet country : /

 

[realcool]

More unnecessary anti-consumer bullshit. One step forward, two steps back.

 

[Gamezone]

Won’t affect me personally but that still sucks.

It might, and it might not be your fault.

 

[wipeout364]

Who buys COD to play offline? Honest question, are people really paying full price to play the campaign and not play Zombies, Warzone, or Multiplayer modes? I guess this would probably be the one to buy for that scenario but honestly COD is an online game.

 

[adamsapple]

Correction: The estimated file size currently displayed on the Black Ops 6 pre-order pages does not represent the download size or disk footprint for Black Ops 6.

The sizes as shown include the full installations of Modern Warfare II, Modern Warfare III, Warzone and all relevant content packs, including all localized languages combined which is not representative of a typical player install experience.

Players will be able to download Black Ops 6 at launch without downloading any other Call of Duty titles or all of the language packs .

The actual estimation of the Black Ops 6 file size will be available closer to launch.
