We've been annoyed for years now that game installations get larger and larger. Well, a new record is about to be set, the PC version Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is listed at a 175 GB storage requirement.

We'd love to learn as to why that much storage space is needed. The required 175GB is listed under both the minimum and recommended system requirements on Battle.net

In the previous releases you'd already look at a massive (Infinite Warfare) had 70 GB. I mean I can understand an HD Texture pack needing some more storage, but this is exorbitant. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare will be released on October 25.
