    It takes 70-90 seconds to launch Modern Warfare 3

    That’s it? Launching Warzone takes at least ten times that, between daily 45GB updates, multiple restarts when updating, unskippable intro videos and PS2-era loading times.

      Wtf who would play that? I’m not waiting 10 minutes to play a videogame - that’s a 6th of my free time every day.

        I’m not sure about how things are today, as I only played Warzone during the first couple of months of the release… But the main reason the game took a long time to load back then was shader pre-compilation, and honestly, I prefer that over the massive stuttering mess most other games that skipped this step would become.

      Just because there’s worse, doesn’t mean we should accept bad.
