Gamers who obtained early bodily copies of Call of Obligation: Modern Warfare II have reported that the discs included comprise solely about 72MB of knowledge, forcing gamers to hook up with the web and obtain the opposite 100+ GB of knowledge to truly play the sport.

Formally, Modern Warfare II isn’t out till tomorrow. However as traditional, just a few copies of the upcoming army first-person shooter slipped out of the warehouses a bit early and ended up within the fingers of some fortunate gamers. In concept, this disc ought to comprise the sport’s marketing campaign, which was launched early digitally, and it must also embody its multiplayer, which absolutely launches for all tomorrow on the official launch date. However as reported by Eurogamer, that’s not the case. As an alternative, gamers who bought early copies of Modern Warfare II found that the disc was principally empty and so they must obtain and set up your complete recreation through the web earlier than they might play.

Kotaku has reached out to Activision about these dummy discs and if the corporate plans on providing precise retail copies of the sport sooner or later.

Modern Warfare II-after the newest patch—is reportedly over 150+ GB massive if you embody marketing campaign and multiplayer. (And that doesn’t embody the yet-to-be-released Warzone 2.0 that’s out in November.) Whereas some gamers will have the ability to obtain the sport simply and rapidly, for others the massive file measurement may take hours or days to obtain and it may push them over their current web knowledge cap. One other downside, as identified by Eurogamer, is that in some components of the world, power prices are rising quickly, and leaving a big, next-gen console operating for hours to obtain a recreation might be a expensive state of affairs.

However even when everybody on the earth had nice web, low power payments, and tons of free time to attend round for MW2 to obtain, it wouldn’t change how inconvenient this dummy disc state of affairs is. It finally ends up making it tougher to protect console variations of the sport legally, one other blow to recreation preservation. And certain, this isn’t the primary time a writer has shipped practically empty discs, but it surely nonetheless sucks that it’s taking place once more because it makes preserving video games a lot, a lot tougher for what is among the greatest franchises on the earth.

Plus, what happens when the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 servers die one day? Well, you can probably guess. Unless Activision changes something in the future, the disc and all 72MB of its data will just become a paperweight once the servers die. At least you can play the other 46 Call of Obligation video games which might be additionally referred to as Modern Warfare as a substitute.
