Hey now, come on... I didn't say you can't be upset about it, in fact, I said yeah it does suck, but do we really need to beat a dead horse in the OT as well as that massive thread over on the gaming side?
I give this post a

Well done,
I get that its not on one disc but you're seriously angry about that? That it's not on one disc? Of all the things you want to complain about, it's that?
I would have much preferred a second install disc over this download content thing but really, we're getting content that wasn't able to fit on the disc. How is that something to complain about. You'd rather they compress the shit out of everything? Or cut some stuff out?
I don't think it'll be that difficult for people to find a way to get the patch or whatever you want to call it. Go to a friends house with an external drive and copy it and bring it back to your house. Easy.
For the record I have crap internet and I will be getting a disc copy.

Oddone no, pls. dun do it.
Okay, no I'm not making the only use one disc complaint, I'd be perfectly happy with two, I'm saying that 343 made a promise they didn't realize would be impossible to keep. Oops, it happens.
Also, I used to work for an ISP, there is no one who caps their data at 20 gigs so I fail to see the issue with that, but I understand the concern.
Cut the best campaign of the series out of the game?
You're crazy!
second best really. Love me some Halo 2.Cut the best campaign of the series out of the game?
You're crazy!
I laughed way too hard.
I'm back to post my awful opinions!
lol nah man.
But seriously, AT&T for example, gives standard non-U-verse customers a 150Gb cap. you will not go through this in a month unless you live on pirate bay

I think if you say Community Cartographer 3 times in the mirror, FyreWulff shows up and gives a speech about it

Colonnade got accidental overexposure due to a bug in Halo 3. That was also not CC, H3 maps were picked by Bungie employees. When Halo 3 tried to pick a map after a veto, it'd always put weight on finding a different base map. Literally every map in Maption Sack was on Sandbox except for Colonnade, so vetoing always ended up with Colonnade.
Cragmire, which I made, never got it's final balance update and was also overexposed. Cragmire (and Heavies) was supposed to have a low chance of showing up after vetoing. A change was made in BTB where Heavies was given much more weight and was able to show up on the first voting screen. I've already posted enough about that part, though.
Past making sure a map's objectively judgable elements work, a map being liked is always going to be subjective

In the UK, BT used to advertise (not sure if they still do) an 'unlimited' data package, that actually capped at 100Gb. So yeah, I can understand people being pissed off, even though it doesn't affect me.
Taking into consideration download speeds as well, I think they should really make the patch available before release for any physical buyers. If I bought a new game and had to let it update all day before playing, I'd be pretty fucking annoyed.
Dead.
Imagine the response of it turned out that was what the patch was.
We'd still get responses saying it was anti consumer though...
They should just sell the patch on disc for like $.50 at stores for people without internet if they are worried about packaging this thing with 2 discs.
Or have a download that people can put on USB
Anti consumer! Making those who don't have Internet pay more!
They have to put the effort into plugging a USB into their xbones!!!

I don't give a shit about the 20Gb patch, but understand the concern some have. However, some people express it in a really shitty way.
I think the decent thing to do would be to allow the patch as a separate download when it's live for people to grab BEFORE they purchase the physical disc should they so desire.
Whether that's a simple thing to do is another kettle of fish.
Either way, the game (or most of it) is on my console right now. Can't wait.

when the patch is 1/3 of the game (and multiplayer) then there is some issue that needs to be resolved

Yes master. I understand master. The OT can only be positive mastah.
Start running, ViewtifulJC.
I know there are no caps with Virgin. BT have "totally unlimited usage" packages but are much slower.
Yep. A few people watching TV and movies regularly and you go easily into terabytes a month.

What issue? The disc is only 50GB, so either they have 2 discs ala Halo 4, or you download a patch. They opted for the latter.

So do we know if The Making of Halo 2 Anniversary is coming out before MCC?
There actually isn't.

The game is gold, they have stated their refusal of two discs.

probably in a Vidoc coming later on. But idk. Just a thought. Would be nice though if they did to give commentary on all the added work that it took to remake the Campaign and Mp included.
Hahahaha

Can people with data caps just start the download a couple days before the next pay period starts? Does it not work this way?
Also, I brought it up in the other thread but got buried, but I think part of the issue is that there is no such thing as a 2-disc Xbox One game case and there is no production line set up for making one. It would be expensive to custom-design and produce a case for a single game that would likely not see any use again for a few years at least.
I think if it ended up being a huge issue, they could print discs containing just the patch and ship them to people on request for $10 or something. They could come in simple packaging and use cheaper single-layer blu-ray discs. XB1 would probably need a special firmware update to be able to install additional content from a second disc though, but it's bound to be necessary eventually, just as it was for last gen.

This is correct, I may have misunderstood the issues when I jumped in. I get it, but I still don't think people need to be as hard on them as they've been.
On a bit of a saltier note, Halo 4's Skill matching is still definitely working:

Huh? I'm talking about the documentary they announced today, Remaking The Legend.
What about those white sleeves tucked into where the game-manuals used to go? Think the 4th disc on Lost Odyssey was set up that way.
