after this year i dont think im going digital again for something like this again. 11:12 AM and its 6:25 PM at 60 percent and then i got to download the damn other 15 gig. Noo I had to get this cause I hesitated.

There was an error when it went through, should have taken it as a sign
not to download it lol

my data usage said my highs were 1 pm to 4 pm with good 7gig downloads with lows 3s to 4s every hour
 
Guys - if you are having to reinstall the game, are you selecting 'Reinstall' to clear the 'Preload' prompt?

If you restart the Xbox (from System -> Power menu) it should clear the Preloaded prompt without reinstalling.

There's a "preload" prompt?

And what so you mean by "restart"?

Same happened to me right now. So fucking annoying. It's 2014, Microsoft, how fucking incompetent are you?

Contact support. I don't have an X1 so I have no idea how good they are...but I would want to accommodate you if I were on the other end of the line.

shit... when did you begin your preload? i'm almost certain this is going to happen to me as well. i have bad luck.

Okay, that was weird. When it started updating, I got into the queue and it took 5 minutes or so before showing 1%. Then after a few more minutes it jumped to 20% and said it was ready to play.

So now I just started the campaign. Guess it was just the 15GB update that needed to be redownloaded... so luckily it was a false alarm.

You are digital right? How did you not download the update?

Might have something to do with this:

Maybe, im still gonna digitally buy as many cheap games as possible, but might go retail for some preorders while XBL service is having issues.

And expect what?
They arent going to magically make your internet faster to insta-download the game.

The only solution(s) are to do the whole restart Xbox One and hope the install doesnt restart.
Or wait and post hate on NeoGAF to vent.

Almost caved and went digital but found out my gamestop that's like 5 minutes from me is doing the midnight. Will grab it put it in and sleep, so I can awaken to Halo goodness.
 
MS really need to fix their installs, they broke them rather bad a few months back it seems.

I just had the game crash completely trying to load Halo 2 Anniversary campaign for the first time, all i've done this evening is play Halo 1 campaign up to the 3rd level, saved and quit.

Matchmaking working yet? :(

My download is at 23% , I started nearly 6 hours ago. The first hour downloaded 4.5gb but since then its slowed. Hopefully I can start playing before its fully installed tonight.

online co-op is fine as long as everyone present has a functioning internet connection, exactly the same as the previous games.

I'm assuming it's a server load thing, they have to make sure they have the free capacity to generate a server that maybe 2 people are going to sit in by themselves.
When that could potentially have the same amount of resource usage as a game with 16 people in.

Maybe further down the line we will get it, or perhaps it will be a "pro" feature.

i hope that's the case. i'm going to be playing a ton of custom matches with friends. just want it to be smooth
 
I did. But now I had to redownload it for some reason. That's not a big deal for me since I'm going through the campaign first anyway (and I have fast Internet access).


So what happened when the game was available? You clicked on the tile and it immediately went back to "installing... 0%" ?

Hmmm...perhaps they might be able acknowledge the issue...or provide technical support and compensate a user with a small credit. If it is downloading twice, and I say if, they'll be a history.

Just saying.

Purchase and Content usage on XBL is currently limited there is an advisory on the Live Status page, so maybe thats whats causing the issue with some people.

They wont compensate if its a problem that stems from that.
It has already been announced that there are issues with Purchase and Content usage for already purchased stuff.......

The only thing they can do really is apologize for the inconvenience.

The timing is perfect.

My God, I'm doing absolutely terrible online. Everyone manages to turn around and kill me even when I shoot first. Either my connection is awful or I'm just not used to Halo anymore. :(

It looks like it is available to play? Did you already redownload that 60 gb?

Edit: Why do you have 2 MCCs?

No man, stuck at 1%. When I open the "upper" (lol) MCC, it redirects me to Marketplace where I see that the game is being instaled. When I open the lower MCC - the same.

The second one appeared when I wanted to play previously downloaded MCC but xbox insisted on installing the game again and making another icon for it.

Mental.

Did you buy the game in a different countries market or? I know there are issues if you buy the game in a different country.
