Call of Duty fans who bought a physical edition of the game are learning that the disc doesn't include the game. The full game can be downloaded from the 72 MB disc.

According to a report from Eurogamer, fans received physical copies of Modern Warfare II a day before it was released, but the disc did not have the game. They had to download the digital version of the game to their consoles in order to get the full amount of data. There is a download disc in the box.

The practice of sending a game with a download disc has been going on for a long time. Physical copies of the game were shipped in the same fashion. There is no way to truly own certain titles, which is why the practice has been criticized by the gaming community. There are many reasons to want a game on a disc. Some people buy physical versions of games to save space on their consoles. Some people may not have the internet bandwidth to download a big game.

If you buy a physical copy of the game, you will have to download over 100 gigabytes of data.

There is a recommended video.
