I have a 20gb hard drive and I want to install modern warfare 2 on it but I have 3 games saved on it. My question is how much space does modern warfare 2 take up in the hard drive when the whole game is installed on it? I don’t want to lose my 3 other games progress. I do not own modern warfare 2 , that is why I am asking about installing it onto the hard drive. My hard drive is showing that I have 12.7gb of free space on it.

You still need to have the disk if you install it on the hard drive. Installing is just to reduce loading times and dvd drive fatigue.

It takes up about 5gb…

So you do still need the disc. Damn, I don’t have the cash to buy one. So I was thinking about just borrowing it and downloading it to the hard drive. Thanks for your advice.
