218GB Why Does It Take So Much Space?

The single player campaign missions are short, the cinematic cutscene isn't that long so why is the file size that huge? The game isn't as fun as the old Modern Warfare 1 mainly because of the twisted irrelevant storyline of Russia persecuting Kurdish with total lack of logic with small groups of rebels defeating an entire Russian army that look like they were from Soviet 80's era in Iran instead of Afghanistan. Also the missions aren't great nor fun at all, by today's standard, COD should have made more large scale missions in urban warfare like having marines brigade taking on militants or full fledged military with many routes that player could choose to take as long as they reach the waypoint to siege a building, bunker, control tower, warehouse, armory, etc.

if developer hated Russians so much then come up with US plot on attacking Russians and Syrian forces in Syria aiding rebels. At least the storyline is more realistic. I regret buying this COD MW prequel and COD Black Ops Cold War. Can Activision refund me the money so that I can buy other better games?

Ignoring the rampage you went on with the story, the TLDR is that the game has horrible compression compared to something like MW22, mainly because of the old gen consoles and HDD users were still prevalent in 2019. If they compressed the game to like 60 gigs, the loading times on said consoled/HDD's wouldve been MUCH longer

That doesn't make much sense to me looking at the details they put into the gameplay, the model character are based on real person on light bulb suits then the renders being wrapped onto the recorded 3D actors/actresses with Image recognition just like Infinite Warfare. It's not they use entirely CGI to construct the models from scratch. Then the maps, unless the entire town like 2 square miles in highly detailed render being put in. To me, it's more like they just cut short the time without compression technique, make the game look fancy then that's it.

Worst is, most of the NPC are still repeating faces which should not even happen in 2023 because of hardware superiority over the 1 to 2 decade ago. The enemy soldier that I just killed earlier reappeared later to be killed again. Remind me of old Shaw Brothers Hong Kong movie where Yuen Woo Ping the famous choreographer in his early days where he was extra & stunt man in 1 movie, he was killed 5 times by the hero. That's because of budget limitation where extras playing antagonist gangsters would keep getting killed by the hero. I forgot which movie was that. So we paid so much for COD that is supposed to be blockbuster level only to have serious cost cutting?

I am by all means not an expert at COD games and I finished the entire Campaign in less than 15 hours of play time. Pretty crappy IMO.

Choose beginner level, you can just simply charge and shoot in simple 1 way path with map slightly bigger or the same as old Modern Warfare made more than a decade ago. Can we ask for refund like EA Battlefield gamers did?
