How to install Modern Warfare 3 campaign on Steam?

If you've already purchased Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, you should now be able to download the entire campaign, and it doesn't take all the space that it shows. The campaign pack 1 is roughly around 19 GB, and the whole Call of Duty HQ update is 50 GB.

You can choose what to download. If you've already downloaded other DLCs that you don't want, you can uninstall them as well. Here is how to do it:

1. Log into your Steam account and open Library.
2. Under the Library section, you'd find Call of Duty. It doesn't show Modern Warfare 3 or any other game's name.
3. Select Call of Duty, and right click on that.
4. Go to the bottom option, Properties.
5. Select Properties, and you'll find six different options to choose.
6. Click on the last one named DLC.
7. There, you'll see all the DLCs that you own in the game.
8. You can just select or de-select what you want, and update or uninstall accordingly.
