Hey all

Just fired up MW2 for the first time in a week to be told that Steam is downloading separate 4gb updates for BOTH single player and multiplayer. Anyone else got this? Updates that are over half the size of the game itself? Something must be wrong!

Cheers

Nope your steam is on holiday. Updates were 160mb odd for SP and 486mb odd for MP if you bought the Maps otherwise it is also 160mb odd.

I had a shock as well with update that had to download and huge file sizes but then I saw that my LFD2 is also updating and that update was about 3.8gig.
 
Its the new steam...an anoying bug. Can't believe its not fixed yet.
Hope you have the retail DVD package...just reinstall an it'll be a for away again. (google this a bit, you might have to backup your MW2 profile first, or you might find yourself starting at rank 1 again).
 
Cheers for the quick feedback all! I suspected that it might be something to do with the new Steam. Luckily, I do have the retail DVD. Profiles are backed up. Will reinstall shortly.

I have rebuilt my pc a couple of times and my rank stays the same. I think it is saved on Steam. The only thing I have to keep doing over is my Spec Ops.... :(

I had the same problem with the MW2 v1.0.172 to v1.0.184 update. It looked like it was trying to re-download the full game, so I canceled the update. I eventually uninstaled MW2 & Steam, and then did a complete fresh install. The last update went fine for me, thank goodness....

PS your progress and ranking is all stored online with steam, so need to worry about that!
