Halo MCC's 20gb day-one patch is live

I'm sure it's nothing to worry about, but I downloaded the patch, waited until it was at 100%, and then booted up. This is what greets me when I try to play H2A, H3, H4, and Forge/Theater or Matchmaking. :(

You're probably bugged or something's happened. Don't think it's wide spread. I'm further than you in those categories but my overall update is at like 70%.

"Alright so the patch hasn't downloaded as far as I can tell and the image for the MCC in the games and apps folder has mysteriously disappeared... any idea what's going on here?"

The image for the MCC in the games and apps folder should re-appear if you do a full power down on the Xbone.

Yeah I just did this and it showed up again. No update but I guess I'll throw it in standby and see if it picks it up overnight.
 
Updating now. Put my console into standby for like 15 mins. At first the game was at like 59 gigs then i click on it and it had a !! point. Said problem with network try again. So did that and now its updating.
 
just a side question real quick, is this one of those games that people in the US will be able to unlock early by changing region?

So you have to leave the console off in instant on mode? Seems a dumb way of handling things. Let me select the update right from the title.

Hopefully my update will download tonight.
 
I really want to get this digital but I just don't know. 51 bucks + $10 certificate from BB makes it a very, very tough choice :/

What's worse is, I already have $50 of credit on my XBL... I'm thinking I'll probably use those for Dragon Age and get the MCC physical... but the wait for the download will be agonizing. I thought long install times would die with the PS3, yet here we are.

Mine is updating, but is doing strange things. My connection is about 4mb/s, but 80% of the update has installed in about 40 minutes.

I just did the dashboard update, and nothing. My download was greyed out, so I shut it down, pulled the power, plugged it back in, and booted up. After the long boot, the game was no longer greyed out, but there was no patch downloading.

Oh well, there's time.

Mine has slowed to a crawl. Up 2% to 88% over the last 15 minutes. There's a service alert about content purchases and usage so I'm wondering if it's some back end errors.
 
Mine wasn't downloading, I just got off of Advanced Warfare. I also clicked TMCC icon and just gave me the standard message but no update. If it still doesn't, then I will re-enable Instant On with the Auto Download Updates checked and see if that works.

The unlock time is tied to whatever marketplace you bought it. If you buy it on the US marketplace and change your region to Hong Kong it still won't unlock until 12:01am Eastern.

However, if you change regions to Hong Kong and buy it off their marketplace like I did, it says on the dashboard 'this game will unlock at 12:01am HKT on Nov 11th' or something to that effect.

People played Destiny early this way, so unless they've changed it to IP locking since then, it should unlock early IF you buy it on the Hong Kong marketplace. That's what I'm hoping so I can play it Monday morning. I wouldn't have paid extra for it but the price was the same so.... why not?

oh, I already bought it on the US store. Thought people just changed their region to NZ for Destiny and a few other games like Diablo and got the games early.

Nah the ones that tried that it didn't work AFAIK, at least for Destiny, not sure about Diablo. Only the people that bought the games on the other regions' marketplace were able to jump on early. NZ marketplace is too expensive though, that's why I went with Hong Kong. :)

Why would you buy disc for the one game(s) this gen that absolutely no one will want to trade in and absolutely everyone should be able to jump into immediately for a match without disc swaps?

This is the game you should keep on your Xbox One as a standard feature, and then you'll get to download the patch early.

I wish I could make it so the Xbox just boots into Halo MCC without even going to the main menu.
