First up, the Modern Warfare HDD space requirement. At the time of writing, Activision and Infinity Ward have not revealed how much HDD space the game will actually take at launch. However, it looks like it won’t be 175GB and that the game’s file size will grow over time. The developer explains in an update system requirements post that:
[perfectpullquote align=”full” bordertop=”false” cite=”” link=”” color=”#16EB9C” class=”” size=”22″]In each of the Specs, the HDD references HD space of 175GB. 175GB is the storage space we recommend players keep available in order to download the post-launch content we’ll be bringing to Modern Warfare. At launch, the initial download will be smaller.[/perfectpullquote]
