If you've installed a Call of Duty game at any point in the past few years, odds are you know the pain. You want to stick one thing, the thing you want to play, on your drive, but thanks to the series' launcher, end up accidentally sticking somewhere in the region of 200 to 300MB of various Call of Duty stuff onto your PC.
Well as of today, the massive number you're quoted'll be slightly less beefy, with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 (the ones from the 2020s, not the classics bearing the same names) set to be banished from HQ and back to standalone downloads.
