Modern Warfare 2: Update 1.08 is here – and confuses the fans

CoD: Modern Warfare 2 - Ping system disabled after "wallhack" issues

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 players can now download update 1.08, which among other things reactivates weapon tuning in the shooter. However, the patch causes some fans to be amazed by the enormous size, which varies greatly depending on the platform.

After the developers of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 had to temporarily disable weapon tuning in the shooter because it crashed the game, there is now good news for fans: Update 1.08 is now available and reactivates the feature. The patch also brings a number of other hotfixes – and causes confusion for some players.

Why is the patch so large for some platforms? fans wonder

There are no official patch notes for update 1.08 yet, which is why the download is currently being discussed with astonishment within the community. Because the developers at Infinity Ward have already confirmed that weapon tuning has been reactivated and that some bugs and exploits on various maps are a thing of the past, but the download sizes for the patch apparently vary extremely.

Because while on reddit PC and Playstation owners report that they only had to download a few hundred MB, the amount of data for Xbox users was between 30 and 100 GB:

It is currently not clear what the reason for these huge downloads is. Actually, the update with the bug fixes and adjustments confirmed by Infinity Ward should really contain less than 1 GB of data, as is the case on Playstation and PC. According to reports on reddit, it would be possible for the game to download and install from scratch on Xbox, while PC and Playstation users only need to download the patch-only content.

In addition, some users report that they did not receive any update at all. But the simple reason for this is that these users have apparently not switched off their consoles. Because the download of update 1.08 only begins once you have switched your console off and on again.
