The publisher is promising a smoother experience, direct access to games, more control over downloads, and overall smaller file sizes. Call of Duty HQ, the popular military shooter’s current one-size-fits-all launcher, requires players to download a ton of stuff they don’t want to access a new campaign or multiplayer mode, and then delete the rest later.
