Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2's disc is just 72MB of nothing - The Verge

According to the player who reported, the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II disc contains only 72MB of data, and when combined with the base game data and multiplayer data, it will download 150GB of data later. It seems that there is a need.
Regarding treating the disc as just a 'digital key' for downloading data, The Verge said, ``This could be a problem for people living in countries with strict data caps or slow download speeds. By leaving the power of this machine on all the time, the impact on electricity bills and the environment will increase,' he pointed out.
It's not uncommon for big titles like Call of Duty to receive a 'patch' to improve gameplay on the first day of release. Since such patches are often large in size, there are some opinions that ``downloading game data on the first day is the same as downloading patches on the first day, so there is no particular problem.''
However, Twitter user Lance McDonald said, 'Plugging a physical disc into a digital service and letting it update its firmware just to play a single player game is not standard and should never be. There is a big difference between being fixed in the first day patch and not including the game on the disc,' he said, criticizing the manufacturer's attitude of not including the necessary files in the disc version.
There is a HUGE difference between “day 1 patch makes the game 10000x better” and “the game isn't even on the disc at all”
