Cuz this game needs to download all the stupid effects you are never going to use, including 4k textures for rats you are only going to see from 10 meters away.
Video gaming - creating the need for graphics card to see details no one is ever going to notice, instead of just making good games, make products that advertise video game cards.
Remember, business is when you steal people's money, not give something in return, that is called "a pitiful company".

So why they did it (bloated size on disk) only with Crysis 2 but not with Crysis 3?

I just watched this last night and I'm pretty sure the answer is because Crysis 2 was basically reworked with a new lighting system, global illumination, post-processing and textures while Crysis 3 just really received ray tracing and a few other minor tweaks in comparison. I finally pulled the trigger on the trilogy on that other platform that shall not be named and Crysis 1 is insane looking so far. I'm glad I waited for the performance improvement patch and I hope 2's remaster lives up to it.
