Halo: MCC has gone gold and the EU release date is moved forward

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2014-10-17-halo-the-master-chief-collection-has-20gb-day-one-patch-to-unlock-multiplayer

The release date has been bumped forward to 11 November and I really can't wait for this. It was one of the biggest factors in going for an Xbox One for me personally.

Interesting that there'll be a 20gb day-one content patch too for what seems to be multi-player content. Surprised that they didn't just put the whole thing over two Blu-Rays but I suppose that the vast majority of people buying it will be interested in the online play.

Yeah odd decision to not have 2 discs, as I am sure the people buying the disc, maybe doing so, because they have internet caps etc.

Will be getting via the Xbox store, but I can imagine for those buying the disc, just how annoying this will be.

my broadband is crap, i may bring it over to a friends house to download it

Will probably pickup an Xbox for this. Love all the games, and look forward to being able to play them again.

Any chance of getting Reach or ODST on the One?

Yeah, 343 have confirmed that they're thinking about it.

I love Reach myself, think it's by far the best single player campaign that Bungie ever came up with.

My internet would take about 2 days for that to download:(
Looks like il have to go abuse somebody elses internet on the 11th.

A 20gb patch to used multiplayer?

Are MS even trying any more? The One is an utter joke at this stage.

You are a bit too quick here :rolleyes: the 20gb is extra content NOT a fix. Problem was there wasnt enough space on the BD disk (I think around 45gb) to hold all the approx 100 mp maps and the remastered 4 halo games so they decided to let people download the MP content on day one.

Maybe they should and the previous posters said put it on two disks, so that is the problem not a MS f*** up

Awh yeah :cool: can't wait.

Eh, Titanfall on PC from EA, that was 40GB Wasn't it? For 12 maps? I recall MCC should have well over a hundred maps MP incl maps only seen on PC for Halo 1 and 2.

Nah, it had a HDD footprint that big due to the game running with uncompressed audio but the DL itself was like 16-20 gb.

I've been fairly interested in this from the get go as I'm a big Halo nut, but I played all these games to death 10 years ago and of course more recently, I don't think it's worth buying a machine for one game, alas that I've already played!

I said the same with the PS3 and MGS V and regretted it initially, but after discovering so many other exclusives that I missed in the 2 years I didn't have a PS3 and beyond the PS3 payed for itself by the end of the machine's cycle....

I don't really feel that for the Xbone exclusives so far though....

But the MCC is so shiney....

The multiplayer sounds epic though. I can see myself still dipping in and out of it 4 or 5 years down the line.

I love my achievements. 400 achievements, 4000g on offer. The amount of content is just unreal. Never played Halo 2, so I have something new to look forward to too.

I also cannot wait for this

i'm still debating whether to go digital with this one or order the limited edition
from game.co.uk (since thats the only place it can be got)

cloud493

Have to be physical for me. Don't think I could handle all that space, and a 20gb patch.

TerrorFirmer

I'm buying the One just for this.

20GB is notting considering where getting over 100 Maps or so on that :eek:. Like we will never get sick of maps as there is going to be so many to play and it will take some time to get good at some as it might be months before you see some of the maps again.

Got this for £33 pound on Amazon and to me its one of the biggest bargains in video game history. 100 + maps and 4 single player games. Who cares about a 20GB download when you getting all that.

Then Sunset overdrive post to be great and froze horizon 2 fantastic MS really distorted Sony this Xmess with 1st party games.

Its an issue for me because my bandwidth is limited. If I can still play the game when its downloading I don't care but this hasn't been confirmed. When I'm forced to pay extra for retail blue ray then the least I expect is to be able to play the game out of the box.

You can play any of the four single player games out of the box while you install the multiplayer.

To help matters, those who buy the game digitally will be able to preload this content along with the base game. He also reassured players that they'll be able to play through all four campaigns (and watch their respective cutscenes) and play "a good chunk of MP custom games" without getting the update.
