Oh so you are actually playing? Well you wouldn't be able to play online without this update so you have it.
I'm definitely getting concerned about the game re-downloading after unlock... I have the full 59.11GB dl (The game, the 15GB MP patch, and the 97MB patch from yesterday) and I was very diligent in getting it all downloaded as I only have 6Mb/s at home.
We are planning a sort of Halo party tonight and it would really suck. Thankfully my brother has a X1 with MCC preloaded as well, so we have two systems ready, hoping that this doesn't happen to both systems....
Does anyone know if you can use a USB 3.0 HDD to make a copy of the game in case this happens? I'd try but I'm at work.

Can you launch the campaign of Halo CE?

Hey everyone, I'm personally inviting NeoGAF members to join some friends & I tonight. We'll be hosting OLD SCHOOL Halo 2 custom games as soon as the game releases in US.
Add my GT Bun7gie to be invited. Also this play session will be streaming on Twitch for the people who can't make it.

So is it normal that its not finding any match made games? I'm worried its just me.
Game isn't really out yet.
It takes ages. I'm worried in general.

Its shocking that this is what they think is acceptable. This is biggest first party of the year, and should be the reference for other online shooters. Titanfall obviously shits on this from a great height in online set-up.

This would have been a much more attractive package if it included or was expanded to include Halo 3: ODST and Halo: Reach. They are outstanding, unique, compelling entries in this franchise, and the distinction that they do not share the same protagonist as the other games is completely superficial.

Are any of these true?
-takes 4-6 hours to install game off disc
-take close to an hour to find a match
- game messes up balancing teams. You could go into 4v4 and the game makes it 5v3
I know people on waypoint love to over exaggerate, but that is some stuff that has been said over there.

Yeah I play with basically zero lag in TF. Not only that, they've brought the good ol' broken killcams over from Halo 4.
Fucking hell.

Are there really issues where once the game unlocks for their region, people are being forced to redownload the game?
- yes
- yes, for now. But the game isn't out yet. Are there matchmaking issues? I mean... maybe. But that's never been a Halo problem so I'm not super worried.
- no, but there is party splitting. You can go into team slayer playlist (which is 4v4) with up to 6 people, for some reason.

Oh god I hope not, those 60GB took hours to get

I'd imagine the mm system is going to be all over the place until it gets properly populated.
Yes with a tiny population right now, matchmaking has been a but broken but I'm sure that'll change once the game starts hitting elsewhere.

Wait, wait, wait - four to six hours to install from disc? So I'm looking at up to six hours (assuming the patch downloads while installing) between when I get home at midnight with the disc, and when I can play multiplayer? So I might as well stick the thing in my Xbox, click install, and go to bed?

Remember the download is 15 gb...they could have slow(er) connections
I'm not sure what you want 343 to do about Australia having terrible Internet.
Sorry - I misread.
I installed digitally, not from the disc. I don't know how long the disc install time is.
Some Xbox Ones seem to have that install issue and others don't, honestly. My X1 takes hours to install anything. But other people don't. So who knows.

Oh, I just read that if you go offline when installing the game it takes less than an hour. Anyone try that

Oh wait I got the patch.
If you are connected online the patch will install too, which makes it seems like the disc is taking ages to install. If you don't want that disconnect from the internet and install the disc and re-connect once it has installed, to download the content patch.

I'm hoping for at least Halo CE Anniversary multiplayer if not ODST and Reach as well.

You can copy games via external HDD. Not in the pre-loaded state though.

I'm a bit confused. I'm in the U.S. (Central Time). What time should I anticipate the digital version unlocking for me?
11pm iirc
Unlocks for everyone at 12am Eastern so 11 pm central.

you guys act like there is a lot of people playing the game lol.
That's nothing new. That has happened since Halo 2 days.
Thanks. Sucks that it doesn't work in pre-load state, but that helps if one of the games unlocks while the other restarts. I hope I'm just being paranoid, I'm like the rest of you and just itching to play tonight!
This is the odd thing about MCC matchmaking:
In previous Halo games, it would make one team of 4 and then another team of 4 and join them together. This just seems to add available players to a lobby as/when theyre free. Then once the lobby is full, it sets up the game and goes from there. Which would explain why people in the same party get split up so many times.
It's not matchmaking two teams, it's just pulling free people into a lobby it seems.

Rarely if ever did that happen, at least in ranked matchmaking.

Yup I'm in and playing.
So advice to anyone who gets the 15 gig message is to go back to the home screen and launch it again, then you should be able to play.

When Halo 2 first game out, it used to split up your party if it couldn't find enough players to put you against.
Party of 4 gets matched with part of two; time goes by and no other matches are found, so it splits the party. I believe they fixed that after a patch back then.
I'm willing to bet that it is happening right now because..... i don't know... maybe because the game isn't out for the majority of the population yet?
I almost feel compelled to take a break from Halo threads for a while. So many people are complaining about things based on hearsay and not trying it out for themselves. The Halo 5 beta threads are pretty bad.

I don't get why your all upset, the game hasn't launched yet?
They could be in the middle of load balancing the servers etc and haven't opened the gates yet
Come on it's Microsoft you know full well they know what there doing
