I was totally stoked for this I had already paid for and downloaded the game and tonight my Xbox starts acting up and I'm going to have to send it back in for repairs. 😢

I don't know! There's too many options. Classic Halo 2 is all I know haha.

Maybe BTB so I can share the happiness with as many as possible

That's a pretty accurate depiction of me right now.

It is not something wrong on your end, it is on MS end. If you do a test, it will tell you they are having problems. I had the same thing, always had open nat and then it went moderate. I did a test and got the error that there is a problem on Xbox Live's end. It cleared up shortly after.

Listening the LPs Hybrid Theory and drinking a Mountain Dew to prepare myself. The sugar and teenage angst are reaching critical levels.
 
Welcome to digital games on XB1.

I don't know about other people in this thread, or how the servers may be getting hammered, but I have never had an issue downloading on Xbox One. I had to re-download The Master Chief Collection a couple of days ago because it wouldn't grab the update. It took me about 6.5 - 7 hours on a WiFi 2-bar connection to my router.

I know, WiFi, I actually play online multiplayer with a Gigabit Ethernet Cable. I just share the cable between my PC and Xbox One so I don't have to bother hooking up another lengthy cable to the router.

Really hope this sells well and helps push this console. I really hope all the new people who jumped in with the price cut are enjoying it!

Can't wait to pick this and Unity up tomorrow at target... just need to figure out the 3rd game I should get (I already have SSO).
 
Just finished Halo 2 single player wow it's much better than I remembered as a child.

Something I have to know about the ending though spoilers possibly??
I thought there was an epilogue scene at the end of the game that preluded Halo 5. But I only got the regular Halo 2 ending.

There is. Head to the Halo Channel. You can access it from there.

Horizon 2. You can't miss that if you remotely like driving game. Its one of the best out there.

I'm really confused as to how the update is going to work for players picking up the physical copy at midnight. Am I gonna be able to play the campaigns as soon as I bring the game home while I download the update? Do I have to boot the game in offline mode or something? As a new XB1 owner, this is pretty baffling.

There's an in-game update screen so you're not locked out of the game.

you can start playing halo 1 or 4 at 18% install.

Been really happy with the Xbox lately. Gaming wise Forza Motorsport 5, Horizon 2, Sunset Overdrive, and Titanfall (now that its a low price and I'm LTTP) are all excellent, top tier games. The Master Chief Collection just cements this as a must-have console, on the power of its exclusives alone.

And damn if the MCC isn't the best damn fan service I could ever imagine. One more hour before jumping in now.

So I bought this on the app at about 4pm today. Just got home and I'm at 50%... Can I start at any point after midnight or not until the entire install is done?
