It sure beats the 20GB update we got for TMCC. I'm glad I went digital with this one.

I avoid any mission where Flood have Rocket Launchers. The Library is an exception because the hallways tend to be wide enough to see it coming from a mile away, but everything after that.... ugh.
People going to a midnite launch for this instead of buying digital are morons....have fun waiting up until 4 AM to play!
Because bud, a few months ago when i was in the good ole U.S.A i didn't have a Data Cap, but unfortunately i'm not there right now and won't be for the next year at least. Now i have a data cap, and 9gigs is a lot when your cap is at 100 for the month!
Luckily, it's at the end of the month and i'll be able to squeeze it in there.
Pretty sure the guy at EB Games said that we'll be getting our games at 9pm instead of midnight on the west coast. Who knows. Midnight launches were fun as hell before this new install stuff. Come home and start playing right away.
I don't know what makes me a moron necessarily for wanting to own my games with a tangible, physical disc. Granted digital seems appealing, but I like owning my games, taking them to others houses, even trading in or letting people borrow if they want. Though if Halo 5 is fun as hell, I might regret not going digital just for the ease.

Oft hope is born when all is forlorn.
well MP (even coop campaign) wont work without the update. Thats all we are told.
Morons was the wrong word to use my bad, however the excitement of a midnite launch is to race home and meet up with your buddies online who you were at the laucnh with or your xbox live friends no matter where they are located. Waiting for something to download just deflates the entire experience. 9 GB's doesn't sound like a lot but Halo launches are huge and those servers are going to be getting fucking hammered.

Yay, just picked up my Halo 5 bundle. What a beauty!
And I can confirm Australian EB games gives a free copy of fallout 4 with this bundle.
The Fotus-Class Armor comes with the bundle is quite ugly...
I have never bought a special edition console because I have always had one already when the bundles come out......but this is making me think I need a second Xbox one....So sexy,

There`s a line in one of the Halo 5 missions where you can hear a grunt say "So much downloading! So boring!" - I wonder if that's developer commentary on these fan reactions
This is my second one. I'm gonna sell my plain black day one console to a friend. Or I can just trade in it at EB games and pay another $299 for a brand new elite console then sell it on ebay.
I think digital deluxe only comes with a promotional REQ pack and a warzone RAQ pack, and fall of reach anime. I got the FOTUS armor from the bundle and Dountless visor from MC controller.

i'd respect 343 1000x more if all the grunts banter were game industry related. man that'd be hilarious

Been hunting for skulls, and 343 has done their best to hide them. These things are tough.
However, I found a little Easter Egg in the level 'Glassed'. I'm not going to outright show you, I'll just say this: some vending machines dispense more than just candy.

I'm normally not that big on special edition consoles but the Halo 5 one is really nice. The controllers are great too.

Alas! I was hoping it was involved with the skull somehow when I discovered it, but that thing still eludes me.
Fuck. :\

Dani should be putting it up the Day of. No more of the 7 days before.
Lol, they're jumping on the meme's. Though it would have been better if thug life appeared when the music / colour grade kicked in, as is usually the case with the meme, not afterwards in a separate title screen.
Yoo..do all the LCE come with a removable helmet for Locke, or just GAME?

I love the editing at the end, how abrupt it is. It's actually perfect.

I cant speak for anyone outside of the UK, but mine from GAME came with the swappable head, even has a little draw on the back of the Locke section to store it.
Given GAME are the exclusive retailer for this version though, I'd imagine everyone gets that and its just not been advertised.

Its the new 'midnight launch' event.
Streaming parts of the game, roundtable discussions, developer interviews, fan interactions - that kind of shit.

Nah. Seems like those you get from redeeming codes on Live have to be opened in-game. Waypoint-specific REQ packs can be opened from the site.
wait the book Last Light has a REQ pack code?

shit...what about the digital version?
nope.
Just ordered from amazon.de, also seems to be a good book that introduces Halo 5 and blue team more. nice!
