Surge in data usage!

[FromAfar]

has anyone else noticed a surge in the data usage for modern war in the last 2 months or so?

I mean A LOT!

it seems a simple / quick check is upwards of 50m

for those folks with um-limited data plans, some are getting killed!

gree, do you do analysis of the usage? can you provide any stats of what an active player, say 10x logins daily, some scouting, hitting, checking buildings, and such may look like for usage on a player with a fair sized army. 10k units, all standard buildings and almost all of the limiteds.

thanks for the info.

Yes had to upgrade my plan this month, didn't know what was causing it. No change of usage on my side

Really good observation. I've had the same surge. Hella expensive for those of us without unlimited data.

Looks like another reason.

I have also had to upgrade my data plan from 2gig a month to 3gig a month and seem to be hitting that limit as well. I haven't really changed what I use my phone for so I would like to know if the developers have changed the data requirements for this game.

though I have changed from Palringo to Groupme for coms, can anyone else tell me know if Groupme is more data hungry?

Huge growth in usage

Full Assault seemed to be the main contributor

Our group uses neither pal or gm. And their usage is through the roof.

Wow... Good observation man. Glad you made this post. As I've been charged $30 this month for 2 extra gigs. Didn't know why.

Wow! This is new angle that no one saw it before. Good on you FromAFar.

I have noticed it aswell. If you don't already have unlimited data and don't want to pay for it, a good option is to switch to T-Mobile if you have it in your area. When I go over my 2gigs I don't get charged they just slow down the connection. The slowed connection is still able to play MW though

I have noticed this as well but did not know what was causing it, good observation. After checking MW is using 2 to 3 times more data than previous months. And the last few months I have been playing less at work because I need to focus on work more. It could be FA and also the push notifications.


Gree we need this addressed

only wd times, always use with gm and 750 mb min.

Hey Guys,

My MW data usage for this month is currently at 542MB - this doesn't include data across the Wi-Fi network. It's far and above my next app. I'm mostly a turtle in this game - I just log in to collect 12/24/48 buildings and participate in faction events.

Good luck with Raiding then or loading new NPC's! I have 1500 MB a month in the first week its Used! 64KB connection won't do! MW works with it, But KA NEVER DID.
A reset will cost me 5 Euro, and I need 2 resets now a days with T-Mobile. I do use a hotspot from my phone to play with 2 other MW accounts! so obvious I Use more data.

I am looking for a Provider that will give me less Minutes to call, but more data a month! to start with 4GB a month

instead of 220 Minutes and only 1,5GB data! Who knows a good Sim-only provider with this?

Prefer Europian Sim-card!

Traveling today and on my layover I logged into mw for about 1 minute to collect buildings 29mb data used. Logged into ka for same amount of time to collect building as well. 18m of data used. 2 minutes almost 50 mega of data. Will be sending a ticket later when I am on wifi again.

Spent about 5 minutes in CC and it used 85m of data. Maybe not limited to MW?
