Black Ops Cold War Season Two Reloaded: Everything You Need To Know
Activision has shared new details on Black Ops Cold War and Warzone Season Two Reloaded. Here are the highlights:
Black Ops Cold War And Warzone Season Two Reloaded Launch Date
- Black Ops Cold War – March 30th at 12:00 AM ET
- Warzone – March 31st at 2:00 AM ET
Modern Warfare And Warzone File Size Reduction
In the blog post, Activision announced a more optimized file size for Modern Warfare and Warzone. Here’s how the publisher describes these enhancements and how it will all work:
“Enhancements to the overall content management system has been made possible through data optimization and streamlining content packs needed for individual game modes. This will come after a larger than usual, one-time update for Season Two Reloaded, which will include these optimizations and is necessary in order to reduce the overall footprint; future patch sizes for Modern Warfare and Warzone are expected to be smaller than the one set to release on March 30 at 11PM PST.
Along with the ability to remove individual modes that are no longer played, owners of the full Modern Warfare experience will see more space freed on their platform of choice. However, those who want to continue playing Campaign, Multiplayer, and/or Special Ops will need to reinstall the optimized Content Packs, which will be released alongside and shortly after the Season Two Reloaded update.
Following the update, the Warzone file size will be reduced by between 10.9 GB and 14.2 GB, and the Modern Warfare/Warzone file size will be reduced by between 30.6 GB and 33.6 GB, depending on your platform.”
