For years, players have complained that ballooning game download sizes are clogging up hard drives and Internet bandwidth. In a recent interview with streamer TeeP, Call of Duty: Warzone Live Operations Lead Josh Bridge admitted that the game’s massive file size is also impacting the team’s ability to release new maps.
Asked about the possibility of adding the original Verdansk map in to cycle alongside the game’s current Caldera map, Bridge said, “We want that. We all want that will, ” before addressing the “technical problem” that makes it difficult: “The install and re-install dimensions are fucking insane, right? If we pulled out Caldera and say we’re gonna drop in Verdansk, this could be essentially re-downloading, like, the size of Warzone , ” he said.
“And every time we’ve done of which, we lose players, ” Bridge continued. “Because you’re kind associated with like, ‘I don’t want to re-download that, ‘ [so you] uninstall. I think you can’t fit anything else but Warzone on a base PS4. ”
