Digital owner here, downloaded it the first the it was up. Turned on the Xbox One for the 1st time in a while to start the update but I have no idea how to prompt it. When I go to manage game it says it's 45.6 GB, help!

I clicked the game and then clicked the 'installed 100%' icon. Then it just went back to installing 1%' and is progressing extremely slowly.

I don't think it's supposed to keep reading "installed 100%" when it's finished or unlocked. It probably got stuck? Mine just has the launch date. Not unlocked yet.

Anyone on here have a digital copy and in their region it unlocked? Just wondering if the game unlocks relatively quickly past 12:01 in your region.

I'm UK based, but bought it off the HK store and it unlocked when they hit midnight, so I guess it will unlock at midnight in your region without a hitch. Haven't had a chance to play yet though, waiting for the wife to finish Eastenders...

I saw that manage game button but was afraid because I didn't want to accidentally download the game again. What does "manage game" do exactly?
Click to expand...

Allows you to move the game to a different storage device, such as external HDD or USB stick and uninstall the game. Just press the button and you'll see the options, nothing bad will happen.

It just shows you what's there. When I went in there was my fully downloaded and patched version and a new one starting to download.

I cancelled the new one and switched my console back to the UK. Then it worked. I had switched console to India as I bought from Indian store on PC, but I downloaded from uk store.

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.

That's odd... my Xbox One installed Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare (from Disc) in 45 minutes including the update.

47-49 are so ugly D:
Which is okay because if it's truly based on H2, I'll never get close to that.

Lol - that is so ugly. Don't really care too much, though.

Legendary difficulty does that.

Weird. I don't remember it being so especially since I played them all on legendary back in the day and it was always a last guy standing scenario unless he goes someplace safe till I respond. This makes H2A co-op on legendary useless lol, might as well play alone since playing with someone else makes it even riskier.

Too bad they didn't change it. It's probably the main reason why I never played it much on co-op back then. Heroic was way too easy with 2p, and then Legendary was just not fun at all with the snipers etc, basically requiring both players to be perfect.

Whatever country your console is set to when you download the game is the country you have to be on to unlock the game.

If you are in the same country it unlocks. If not it trys to download it all again.

This is different from the country you bought the game.

No. I bought from the Hong Kong store. Unlocked on AU dash on Hong Kong time though. I have since downloaded from the AU store if that matters.

This absolutely killed Halo 2 co-op for me on the Xbox. Heroic was way too easy for 2 players, Legendary too frustrating to play with your little brother.

Haven't been able to find a game in H2A for at least an hour, even though there are a decent amount of countries that have unlocked. Is this a matchmaking issue?

I'm starting to regret going digital for this. Download speed is horrendous. Still on 43%
Click to expand...

Yeah, this was my 3rd digital title on my xbone and all of them were pretty slow, this was by far the worst, though.

I've got a 25 MBPS connection, should be able to download 13-14 GB per hour. MCC took like 12-15 hours to download 45 GB (pre-patch) and then another 4-5 hours to download the 20 GB patch, which should have taken like 1.5 hours tops.

I can't even imagine what it will be like for people with slower speeds.

I don't remember that probably because it's a very, very long time since it's my least played Halo of the series lol. Oh well, looks like it's SP for me then.

I absolutely have those speeds, my downloads run at about 3-3.2 MB/s on both Steam and PSN.

I have no idea what speeds I'm getting on my X1 since it doesn't actually show me, it just says "Installing".

What configuration settings should I check?
