    TA "just how good are you" not very is the answer for 99% of you boost everything seems pointless to be in to cheevs if thats the case.

    I have to wonder at how much the hundreds or thousands of people all downloading 20GB of patch from Microsoft all at roughly the same time will affect 1> MSFT servers 2> ISP - customer bandwidth 3> general internet bandwidth everywhere. Thank goodness we can still play while the patch downloads.

It's actually a part of the game content that they couldn't fit on the disc.

    People seem to be having real trouble understanding this.

    It's the rest of the game that they couldn't fit on to one disc and didn't consider inconveniencing their userbase enough of a deterrent to release it on two discs instead.
    The Xbox One does not currently support two-disc installs, and putting it on a triple-layer Blu-Ray disc would likely increase the cost for disc-buying consumers by $20 (because there is a big jump between the price of double-layer and triple-layer Blu-ray disc).

    So why is a digital download the same price? Lol cause people pay it?
    Aye, we left you. You're fat, and slow, and we didn't want to die.

    ..... and that's why TMCC is better off played as individual used games

    If Microsoft wasn't lazy or even care about money, they could've clearly put the extra space on an extra blu-ray disc! This is just ridiculous. Now I'll have to spend two days installing 20gb. The Xbox One is tremendously slow at installing games, yet, I'm not sure why. I can install a 1gb game on the PC within 2-3 hours but the Xbox One takes 7-8 hours. Must be the read/write on the HDD for the Xbox One.

    How many totally separate games which could easily be separated onto multiple discs are there in this again?

    Obviously it does. Blu-Ray on wiki: "Conventional (pre-BD-XL) Blu-ray Discs contain 25 GB per layer, with dual layer discs (50 GB) being the industry standard for feature-length video discs. Triple layer discs (100 GB) and quadruple layers (128 GB) are available for BD-XL re-writer drives."

    So anything above 25gb is clearly dual layer.

    In which case, you would have to switch discs when you wanted to switch from Halo 1 to 2, 2 to 4, etc., and you couldn't have the cross-game playlists, which is entirely against the design philosophy of the Collection. Brutaka5 said:xPut Name Herex said:Ackter said:This isn't a patch.

    I said two disc installs, not dual-layer installs. Dual-layer is still one disc.

    I dont think people on a nuclear submarine will be impressed with this.
    They won a battle, then we came back & steamrolled them.

    Ackter said:Yes, let's all stop complaining about a pretty major inconvenience that could easily have been avoided for a little extra cash.Not really an inconvenience for me. Judging by my average download speed on Xbox One, 20GB will take ~40 minutes. Enough time to do some campaign before I play multiplayer.

    Yeah wow, my cap will be over in one day, wtf! Retarded.
    Now you're dead.

    Lol four discs for four games.... Brilliant! Then all the cross game playlists for campaign and mp would be completely useless! Great idea pal

    Mobius Evalon said:So is there anything else going on in this game besides a graphical upgrade to Halo 2 and packaging all of the Halos together? Because if that's all it is, it does not sound like it's worth the buy to me. I've already played every Halo on the 360, it doesn't sound worth the buy to get a crack at Halo 2.I'm stuck in the same boat. I still have Halo 4 to do as is and really don't want to do them all over again just to play Halo 2 HD finally.

    On the flip side, I've seen and know many greatly excited for this! Just not for me, methinks.
    Deep into that darkness peering.. Long I stood there.. wondering..fearing.. doubting..
