Napolean Bonerfarts posted:MCC has gone gold!!!!! ...and yet it will require a 20 gig patch at launch. This is apparently what "gone Gold" means now. You may want to consider a digital pre-load if playing at midnight is really important to you (assuming the patch will be either downloadable before that or incorporated into the pre-load somehow).

Zedsdeadbaby posted:There are redone high resolutuon CGI for every single cutscene in Halo 2. All the old scenes that were done in-engine are now replaced with CGI. It takes up a huge amount of space. No? There's less than an hour of cutscenes and if properly compressed with modern codecs can fit in about 4 gigs or thereabouts, possibly even less depending on the composition of certain scenes.

If what they say about the 20 gigs being extra data not present on the disc is true, probably 65 gigs. Might be worth asking someone who pre-loaded what theirs says (and if they have a way of telling if they got the 20 gig patch or not).

-A n i m 8- posted:It's not a patch it's content. You don't want to swap disks mid MP. Say Halo 2 is on Disk 1 and Halo 3 is on Disk 2 and you are playing a playlist that involves both games... You know the 360 has a ton of games that ship with an unplayable installation disc, and a play disc with the remaining data, right? Most GOTY editions of games do exactly this (DLC on the unplayable disc and the play disc is just the vanilla game), as does GTA 5, Call of Duty: Ghosts, Wolfenstein NWO...

Soul Glo posted:Does it work with hard copies? Nope, although it sounds like the patch might be a "Microsoft 20", as it seems to be more like 15 gigs, and brings the final game size to 59.1 gigs (might be different for European SKU's, I guess).

Zaphod42 posted:That's a legit complaint though. It goes pretty fast on my internet but its still annoying, and on slower bandwidth or if you have data caps then that's a huge pain in the rear end. Why couldn't they just give us 2 discs, install and play discs like plenty of games have had? Reminder that Halo 4, the previous Halo game, had exactly the same problem (game too big for one disc) and solved the problem by putting the multiplayer data (2 gigs  ) on an install-only 2nd disc, which you could also download over the internet if you hated the idea of doing a single lifetime disc swap.

Napolean Bonerfarts posted:How long will it approximately take to download the day one update? This is dependent on way too many factors, including your internet speed and how fast Live pushes it downstream, to give a straight answer. If you have a 5 megabit connection and get full speed on it you're looking at just over 6.5 hours of constant downloading, if you have a 30 megabit connection it'll be a little over an hour etc. Although bear in mind Microsoft will have to push this update to everyone who buys a physical copy so it could very well slow things down.

empathe posted:What planet are you guys living on that you think the cost of including a second disc in a massive production run of a game amounts to the cost of the second blank blu-ray? Yes, certainly the cost-effective solution to pressing discs that are pennies each to make is to push 15 petabytes of data in a single day at launch with an online infrastructure that's already got spotty reliability. This is the first game to require over 50 gigs in its "core" game but tons of Blu-ray movies ship on two discs. Or hell, check it:  Fifteen discs (6 dual-layered Blu-rays and 9 DVD's) and I can buy it for $40 Canadian. With free shipping. univbee fucked around with this message at 17:58 on Nov 7, 2014 |

We are also long past the point where copies of specific games are in short supply, especially with digital downloading if that's how you want to do things. If Halo 5 turns out to be amazing and gets a 98 Metacritic review score you can buy it the day of. No, seriously, you can, it'll be totally fine, I promise.

Will the game launch and be single player-capable before downloading the 15 gig patch or is it one of those things where you have to be disconnected from the internet for the game to launch without waiting for that entire download? What percentage does it have to get to for the NA version to be playable?

Calvin if I'm understanding the root cause of your issue, basically the fact that you have to go through XBL where they implement really odd lag compensation algorithms is what's messing up the high-level play, and the fact that you can't do straight LAN anymore is why you're sure this won't be fixed?

Napolean Bonerfarts posted:No, because the Xbox has to ping a connection to Live. It's basically DRM. I'm asking because, for example, Starcraft 2 went Battle.net only and you must go through Battle.net to play, there is no LAN support, so if Battle.net is having issues that can impact a "local" game regardless of how good your LAN actually is.
