You can also choose what to download, so you don't have to download the whole thing first.

I actually like this idea/trend, hope it becomes a trend, have the ability to select what parts of a game you want installed for space/download reasons. If you only do multiplayer, then you don't need the single-player campaign, etc..... I like this idea.

Seems odd to me that you can't uninstall warzone. Considering Warzone is free to play and can be installed on it's own.

They came up with a BS excuse that the entire game now depends on assets in Warzone. I can understand sharing some things, but 120GB worth?

Thanks, still that would make it a 4 week download. I'll be passing.
