Apart from some changes in the meta, the latest Call of Duty Modern Warfare and Warzone update reduces the game size significantly. Apparently, the developers have separated the high-resolution textures in the game, and players will have the option to either play the game in low resolution or download the high-resolution textures.

Console players can download the high-res textures from the Installs menu, and PC players will have to use an asset streaming system.
