There are so many bundles already and I doubt they want to kill sales on those. I'm not so sure they'll do a Halo one.

Crazy stuff, that must have been a fun discussion.
There is no bundle, it's painful but they want to keep the 3rd parties happy I'm guessing and it'll help make Sunset Overdrive a franchise.

Should've had an install disk instead of a ridiculous sized patch. That's unacceptable.
They probably want to get existing Ones in the retail channel sold first

This sounds to me like either poor planning, or that they needed to cut costs, and so only ship one disc. How large are the hard disks that come with an X1? And do PS4 games also require huge updates like this?

20gb?
Is that the best you could do?
My connection laughs at your pitiful patch size, 343i.

Could there have been an install disc perhaps like for Halo 4?
You guys made the right decision

Same. It was already at 4% a few minutes ago.Pre-ordered and downloading now to my Xbox One.
Didn't care about the size one bit

It's time to start investing in 100GB blu-ray discs.

Remember, if you didn't want to worry about downloads, you have the 360!
God that still makes me infuriated to this day.

That's the size on the marketplace download version.
Maybe its slightly compressed but so will the data on the disc be compressed.
if you know somebody who is preloading, get the install from them on an external drive. it should work w/ the disc game too

Yeah, I'm on an 80Mbps connection. Bring it.

Why not a one time install disk then? Many games have done that. I mean, even Halo 4 did that.

Having a 500GB HDD isn't an issue for people that buy Blu-ray games precisely because they can delete what they're not playing and quickly reinstall a game if necessary.
2. What if you just want to play multiplayer (also they could have split H1/2 on one BD, H3/4 on another)
3. lol.
Why would you want to go 'digital' (download) and wait longer to redownload games making content management more stressful, pay more for games, have no resale value and not actually own a copy of the game when online services are stopped.
1. Even though you've bought a disc with the game on it, you still have to wait for a heft download to play multiplayer.

What's up with Europeans? It's pre-loadable now.
that quote makes no sense because xbox one does not run anything off the discs. they'd both have to be installed to the hdd anyway
it probably doesn't support 2 discs

Yeah kinda this. I have fast internet, no download cap and was getting the digital version anyway.
Sucks for everyone who isn't in this particular bracket.
I did write out reasons that justify this but there's no real need to defend it. Developers don't make things more difficult on purpose. If this is what they have to do to deliver this package then I guess this is what it takes.
Euros usually have shit internet or pesky bandwidth caps.
And yeah,XBL is getting straight up gang banged that day. Fucked beyond belief.

It's a little frustrating, but considering the scope of the collection it makes sense.
I think a lot of people are suggesting that the second disc would just be an additional content install disc, so that they do not have to download it over the internet.

Really? I have always thought that it's the Americans who have data caps (and shit internet)..? At least here in Finland there are no data caps and the speed is pretty decent.
Maybe disc 2 is a separate download? Max Payne 3 was split up into 3 or 4 files iirc.
Can anyone confirm this?
I always thought it was the other way around.

A big download, its time like this I wish they'd give people costs for the retail version to download it so they can just pop the disc in when it arrives and play but that kind of negates one of the perks of ordering from the Store.
Cant wait those, 343i delivering an incredible package

? It's mostly the other way around from what I gather.
No data caps here at least. Cable is cheap and fast.
some of these comments are gold.
You obviously have no idea how packaging software / installs of any kind works.
You can't just at the last minute go ohh well need to put data on a second disc....
You need to have a base foundation for the update files then to latch onto.
Imagine it like building a house or a spider web. you can't put a roof on if it has no walls.
If they had used the two disc method, we'd have had a similar outcome to what ODST did.
Well my 100mbps and 20mbps up unlimited laughs at your statement.

I would say something about LAN play for halo games not needing the internet so maps should be on disc however if I remember right, LAN play in the MCC requires a ping to xbox live, meaning you can't even play a local game offline correctly.
South uk in the countryside you will be lucky to hit 1MB down on a DSL line, I know as I had to play destiny over it.

Yeah it isn't like they did that with Halo 4
You can do what you described, and also a good chunk of MP custom games (from the disc, obviously you'd still want to HAVE a connection to play properly).

Yep and it didn't take that long so I'm perfectly fine with this. I can play the first level of CE while it downloads. It sucks for those with shitty ISPs, but I'm glad that we don't have multiple disks for this game.
Do you know the breakdown of which maps are on the disc vs not?
I won't be surprised if something like this happens with not only the rumoured Gears of War collection but also a possible Uncharted Trilogy for PS4.
To be fair it's four games in one package. I can't see this affecting any Gen 8 exlcusive games until something like FFXV or GTA6.

You guys up there don't count. Your shit is on point. But I've seen many others of Euro/ PAL GAF bitch about internet connections over the years.
If they capped me.... I'd lose my mind.
What languages will Halo: MCC support? Can we switch languages in game or do we need to switch it in the Xbox One system settings?
