Call of Duty: Modern Warfare production director Paul Haile has explained that the reason why the Season 2 update is so large is because Infinity Ward is trying to reduce the overall size of the game. The update includes new asset packs that will accomplish this, which is why the Modern Warfare Season 2 update is so massive.

While Haile’s explanation may satisfy some who are upset about the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Season 2 update download size, others will still not be happy. Both 51 GB and 68 GB are trending on Twitter right now, with some fans complaining that the update is so large that they won’t be able to play Modern Warfare Season 2 at all today.

What makes this sting a little bit more is that the long-awaited Modern Warfare Season 2 update doesn’t seem to include all of the Day One content that was promised by the roadmap. We are unable to confirm this through our own testing as our update is still downloading, but language in the press release suggests that some of the promised Day One content won’t actually be added to the game until later in the season.

This includes Gunfight Tournaments, which was set to return after being missing from Modern Warfare for weeks, and the new Gunfight map Bazaar. Gunfight fans may be disappointed by this news, but on the bright side, Season 2 does include at least one new Gunfight map. While it wasn’t clarified in the Season 2 trailer, it’s since been confirmed that the fan favorite Modern Warfare 2 map Rust will indeed be featured as both a standard multiplayer map and a Gunfight map, so fans of both modes can enjoy it.

The Modern Warfare Season 2 update is massive, but hopefully this means that future updates won’t have to be quite as huge. Fans of the popular first-person shooter will have to stay tuned for more information from Infinity Ward to find out for sure.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is out now for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
