What does "install suspended" mean in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare on PS4?

Lately, PS4 users trying to download and install a new update for Modern Warfare are having trouble with the "install suspended" error message. Whether it appears on the campaign, special ops, or multiplayer, "install suspended" means just that -- the update's installation has been put on hold.

Why is "install suspended" appearing in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare on PS4?

The reason you're seeing the phrase "install suspended" in Modern Warfare is because of how the game is packaged. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is split up into multiple parts when you download it. If you're seeing the "install suspended" error message, it's because you don't have all the packs downloaded to your PS4, which basically means the game is incomplete and doesn't have all the data it needs.

How do you fix the "install suspended" message in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare on PS4?

The good news is that it's pretty easy to solve this issue. Find Call of Duty: Modern Warfare on your PS4's menu. With the game's icon highlighted, press down on the D-pad or left stick to view its information. Now, scroll down to where it says 'PlayStation Store' and select it.

You'll be presented with all the add-on packs you have installed and that you've yet to download. What you need to do is make sure you've downloaded and installed all the essential packs for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. To do this, go into the add-ons you haven't downloaded yet by selecting 'View All'. From here, download all the add-on packs you can find that don't cost any money. No need to splash out (unless you want to, of course) -- just start downloading all the free add-on packs.

Once these are installed, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare shouldn't display the "install suspended" message any more, and you should be good to go.
