On Apr. 28th, console players of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare will need to download a sizeable data pack. The download is required to play the game, so you will not be able to join servers until the download is complete.
The download is 15 GBs, so be sure to give yourself plenty of time to download it, depending on your internet connection. It’s also a little bit awkward, because a patch will be arriving on the same day, and you will need to download the patch before you can download the data pack.
The patch should automatically download when it becomes available for your console, so you don’t need to worry about that at all. When the patch is complete, you can start the game and select any mode to play. You will be brought to an install menu, and directed to download a data pack.
Select data pack one from the menu, and the download will begin. When the download is complete, you will need to shut down the game, then restart it again, and you will be able to play as normal.
As for what exactly the patch and data pack cover, Infinity Ward has given us some small details on various fixes that are coming to the game, but we will need to wait until they release patch notes to get the full details.
