Call of Duty apologies for gargantuan MW3 update with freebie tokens

Call of Duty apologies for gargantuan MW3 update with freebie tokens

As a seasoned Call of Duty gamer with over a decade under my gaming belt, I can’t help but feel like I’ve just walked into a party where everyone is having a grand ol’ time, and I’m the one who forgot to bring the keg. The latest addition to the Call of Duty HQ family, Black Ops 6, has turned this modest umbrella into a bustling marquee, leaving little room for those who were already here.


The unification of Call of Duty games under one roof has turned the old headquarters, once just a simple shelter, into a grand tent again – teeming with content from four different games.

Currently, under the same headquarters, Modern Warfare 2, Modern Warfare 3, Warzone, and soon to be Black Ops 6 are all gathering and having a chat over some drinks. However, with four games, things might start getting a bit too crowded.

Due to the introduction of Black Ops 6, Call of Duty Headquarters is experiencing a significant facelift, and with the deployment of one of its biggest updates yet, the developers are extending their apologies.

1. You can now pre-download the Black Ops 6 Beta from Call of Duty Headquarters, as Modern Warfare 3 Season 5 Reloaded is acting as a carrier for it.

Unfortunately, you might be taken aback when downloading the latest MW3, as there are update files ranging from 80GB to 100GB ready for you, varying based on the gaming platform you use.

Given the massive size of the recent update for Call of Duty, causing hard drives worldwide to strain under the task, the company has expressed regret and acknowledged that there might be a hidden reason behind the update’s bulkiness. As a gesture of apology, the development team is offering tangible expressions of gratitude to its players.

In the upcoming days, all players accessing Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone will receive a complimentary “community bundle.” This bundle includes a total of ten Double Experience (XP) tokens for both individual progress and weapon upgrades, as well as ten free advancements in the battle pass tiers.

Appreciate you stopping by Season 5 Reloaded! To show our gratitude, we’ve added 10 Tier Skips, 10 Player Experience Boosters, and 10 Weapon Experience Boosters to your collection, helping you progress more swiftly. 🚀

According to a recent statement from Activision, the initial download of the specified file size for Call of Duty will not necessarily occupy permanent storage space on your device.

The update is reshuffling the game files and incorporating fresh technology as a prelude to the complete player interface coming in October. After this process is finished, Call of Duty’s storage requirements will diminish thanks to these file efficiency improvements.

Earlier, Activision announced that this is the final time they’ll roll out such a significant update, which also incorporates a space-saving mechanism to reduce the size of the current games. However, this won’t assist in fixing our currently damaged hard drives, right?
