Yeah, this is what happened to me with Modern Warfare 1 (the new one). I tried a few years ago, I think at @Regime behest, but I couldn't get the game to install right or something like that.

I finally decided to give it another shot this week and actually managed to get it installed and working.

MW1 takes up like 150 GB. ONE HUNDRED FIFTY GB. And that's the PS4 version, I didn't even get the PS5 version (if there is one).

I'll say this though, MW1 is one of the best-looking games I've ever played, despite this being a PS4 version. It looks better than nearly all of the PS5 games I've played. I'm not even kidding. Maybe it's stealthily upscaled to being PS5 level or something? Because this looks flat-out amazing. A lot of the scenes look photorealistic and the framerate is so high that it's pretty much real life (wouldn't shock me if it was 120 Hz).

Really impressed with the game, it was worth going through the trouble to get through all of the installation crap. I'm going to run the campaigns for the new trilogy whenever I've got time. CoD has such underrated campaign modes.
Funny thing about MW 2019 for me is that was a game I distinctly remember complaining about when it came to it's installation. I remember having the game downloaded and one day having some issue because they decided to breakdown the game content into a bunch of DLC packs, and I had to download like 10 DLC packs, and some of them wouldn't install right and the whole thing was just a massive pain in the ass for me to get working and in the end it took up over 150gb. I have never even bothered going back to that one as a result, a shame because it's a cool game if you can get away from all the bullshit. Right now I have Cold War and Advanced Warfare as the only COD games on my PS5, and it's nice how direct and lightweight Advanced Warfare is now a days, Cold War takes up over 200GB, think it might even be over 250GB, which is just insane for a single game. Shit like that is why I don't even want to bother with the latest ones.

You are right about graphics from last gen still being impressive. I got a PS5 Pro and have a 4TB SSD dedicated to nothing but PS4 games and it's amazing how many PS4 games can look just as good if not better than most PS5 games. Graphics have truly stagnated and plateaued over the past decade, it's why I couldn't care less about any hype over the latest gaming hardware or technology, it's all a bunch of industry hype over some shit I can barely notice and it's not like the latest games are better than older games anyways.

Advanced Warfare is criminally underrated IMO. Probably my favorite of the 2010's CODs besides World War 2.

CODs might be ridiculous in terms of hard drive space, but they sure make good use of that space. Their visual fidelity always feels top-tier for any given year and they make other shooters look like they're cutting corners graphically.

There's still some room for visual improvements and I'm looking forward to PS6 so that we can hopefully get to a point where "Graphics Mode" and "Performance Mode" are no longer necessary and games can run Ray-Tracing and all the good-looking stuff while also being 60 FPS. One of the reasons graphics feel like they've stagnated is because we have to play everything on Performance Mode. Try things like Demon Souls Remake and MGS3 Remake on Graphics Mode (also Black Myth Wukong and Wuchang: Fallen Feathers) and they look absolutely cutting-edge and amazing. ...then you have to flip them back to Performance Mode to actually play and they're not that much better-looking than games from five years ago.
