"with some features and multiplayer content being added via the update."
I read that as some of the features and some of the multiplayer content being added. I'd have to assume all offline stuff is on the disc.
if its all of the multiplayer.....i pity anyone running a tournament.
more specifically the poor souls who have to do the updates on the boxes
Lol no stop asking. It's less than a month away.

I wonder if I can preload the patch somehow even if I plan to buy the physical disc copy.
I don't see why it was such a crazy question. They just announced the Brazil bundle.
Shit. 65GB download is crazy. It all boils down to how much bandwidth MS is willing to push.
Currently on my 50Mbps connection the downloads on my 360 plateau around 3Mbps. That's due to MS not pushing more data (streaming HD video pulls more data per second for comparison).
Unless they can fully saturate all connections this 20GB patch on day one is going to be a massive train wreck.

WOW at 2,000 real, thats $820. Don't want that bundle.

What? Why? What's there to complain about.
SHEESH
EDIT: Ahhh I see. People with bad internet connections are upset. I can understand why they are demanding a 2 disk version. But to be fair, it sounds like everything you need for offline play is right there in the disk, so it's not like someone who doesn't have internet is severely missing out. That's the impression I gather anyways.
So what I'm gathering is that if 343 put the 20gb day one patch up for disc owners to preload, then that solves the problem for most people. Not sure how it'll solve it for people without internet though.
Whatever, I guess I'll try not to focus on all this negativity but it's a shame that the game going gold turns into a shit fest.

okay i have a question
one that may have been answered
when i get this master chief collection multiplayer will I be:
playing each halo games individual multilayer maps
or
will I be playing on I guess halo 4 multilayer system with all the maps
and last
does having this game effect your halo 3 or halo 4 stats or will they be on different servers or something?

Halo 1 on the Halo PC multiplayer engine
Halo 2 on the Halo 2 PC multiplayer engine
Halo 3 on the Halo 3 mp engine
Halo 4 on the Halo 4 MP engine
Halo 2 Anniversary MP is on some Halo 4++ engine
Nothing carries over from the 360
Each halo game on their own engine. So all halo ce maps with halo ce engine. Halo 2 maps on their own engine. Halo 2 Anniversary on its own engine. Halo 3 on its own engine....etc.
I believe the stats will be separate. I don't know if they actually said anything about this yet.

Halo CE: 500MB+ (PC)
Halo CEA: 6.7gigs
Halo 2: 4.4gigs
Halo 2 Map Pack: 424MB
Halo 2 Blastacular and PC Maps Unknown MB
Halo 2 Anniversary: Unknown
Halo 3: 5.72gigs
Halo 3 DLC: 1.65gigs
Halo 4: 16gigs
Halo 4 DLC: 1.95 gigs.
So around 37 gigs not counting Halo 2 Anniversary which I can see easily filling it up to 45gigs. Something tells me the patch will still leave the game at 45gigs and just replace some files.

Are you really saving any space from having a disk based copy? I mean it has to be installed anyway. I don't care about the download if you can pre load it.
nope, all you are doing is saving bandwidth
If the game officially releases at midnight November 11, then if your Xbox One is in the low powered state, wouldn't it automatically update...if you don't plan on staying up the entire night? By morning time, it would be updated, or say by the time you get off work in the afternoon of November 11? I just don't want to have to come home and then wait for a 20GB download.

I think there's something fucky with the Xbox store website. It says it'll unlock at 12:01 Australian Eastern Daylight Time for me (I'm in the UK, and on the UK store).
Mine says it will be playable on 12:00 AM Austriallian time. That is 8:00 AM on Monday for me lol.
Did you get it from the Australian Xbox Marketplace?

I already have it pre-ordered in full at the MS store, but I kind of want to download it digitally too.

Nope. I've always been in the US marketplace. I just downloaded it immediately when it showed up.

people are probably more worried about bandwidth, and mainly time.
So you can buy it from the US marketplace and unlock it Australia time? This just keeps getting better

Is this a placeholder?
probably more of a reference to things like nightfall?

Yep. You may need to use the search feature to find it.

That link should work dude.
I know they have to keep retailers sweet but it's pretty crap that they can't give digital buyers all of the pre-order skulls.

Really debating between digital and physical.
I want to have the disc because I have the discs for all the other Halo games...
...but digital is so damn convenient. And I know I am never going to want to sell this thing.
Hmmm

Ok, I laughed.
I'm going both. I got to support the practice of throwing everything fans could have wanted and more in one package.
Thanks. Who cares about skulls anyway. I beat these games no problem a decade ago, and god damnit, I'll do it again.
I thought the same thing. But being able to just load into halo with out a disc is awesome. I figured I still have the disc of all the halos so I can still go back and play them on their original consoles if I wanted to.
