I don't think that is the only place to get that information. Because there are already sites for games like COD, Battlefield which will track the population regardless of if the number is shown in game or not.

Usually there are APIs available, or websites will track population figures better than the games themselves. I don't know if 343i will have any of those set up, but I'm sure they would have been available by now.

343 don't have them available.

Unless 343 keep population numbers on their website, we will never know the population of the game.
 
I've bought the game from US store but I'm in Norway, will it unlock my time or US time? Never pre-ordered on Xbox marketplace before. If US, what timezone?

EU GAF, this goes live at 12am tonight right?

Because I don't intend on sleeping much

I dont think so. Mine unlocks later when it unlocks in the us where I bought from.

But if you bought it in the eu, it will unlock the day it becomes available. Thursday or friday I think.

Thursday or Friday?! It says the release date is the 11th on it. If that was the case I would've just got the American :(

Gonna see if I can get my money back

Alright, I ain't waiting until next month or January. I am getting an Xbox one and Halo MCC tonight at midnight.
 
A bit LTTP for the OT but here I am....in line waiting to pick up my first ever Halo game and I must say I'm pretty fucking HYPED!!

Is there a dedicated GamerTag thread or are we just dropping them here?

Great OT btw. As someone new to the franchise it's a real eye opener.

Is the patch just the competitive multiplayer or do we know if its the co-op as well. I dont have Xbox Live Gold so it would be nice if I can just skip downloading it altogether.

You are still gonna want to download the patch. I believe it fixes some performance issues with the halo 1 campaign
 
I decided to download instead of buying a physical copy so I could download the TU nice and early. Now I'm seeing people get theirs today and I'm sat here with a 58 gb (even though it's supposed to be 59.1?) game on my hard drive.

Either way I want some people to play with. I've been playing halo since the CE but have only been playing online since reach so I am very curious to see pre reach multiplayer.

Add me up as all my friends are FIFA scrubs GT - lee182jib
 
offline-co-op or online co-op?
e.g. can I Play H3/H4 with one friend at home, and have another 2 friends online joining our campaign?

IIRC you can have one person split-screen locally, and as long as they're signed into Live you can then play with 2 other people online for a total of 4.

There is no 4 player splitscreen for co op campaign though, only for local multiplayer (or multiplayer over Live with 4 local players).

Is it possible to install the physical disc (to avoid downloading ~48gigs), install the patches and then buy it digitally without having to download anything?

The more EU players on my friend list, the less chance hopefully of being dumped into NA servers

Isn't it sad how far internet speeds have come and yet how little latency has improved, especially overseas? One would think that by now we'd have sub-50ms pings from one continent to another.

Taking a vacation day from work for this Tuesday.
Just got mine approved. Guess I might as well hit up the midnight launch.

Xbox discs data are usually the same as their digital counterparts. I want to say yes but Halo could be some weird exception to the case.

Download the patches without downloading anything? No.

But to actually answer your question, you just need a licence to play, either a disk or digital. It doesn't care where you installed it from.
