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.

No issue for me have 150MB in my house and if i head to the mother and fathers i have 15MB so no problems my way for downloading. But just lucky to where i am for internet i fell sorry for people who cant get at lest 8 in this day and age

Ya i think you can play the game while its downloading was able to do that with Forza Horizon 2 while it was downloading the update.

Only paying about €40 euros for my copy and its a retail so i think i am doing extremely well

Why not make the Halo 2 campaign downloadable and put multiplayer on the disc. It's not like anyone wants to play that games single player :P

Classic Retr0gamer i loved the Halo 2 single player when it came out back in 2004 :O i was only 12 at the time and i give it so much more time then GTA SA as they came out within 2 weeks of each other and i got both at the same time. I was a lucky child had a xbox, gamecube and a PS2.

Cant wait to play the remake of it now and the remake of halo 1 as i never got to play it on the Xbox 360.

Cant believe only like a month to go now.

Thought Halo 2 started great with a fantastic opening section then got really poor after it. The developers have said themselves it was a total rush job. The story was just utter crap as well. Can't really fault this package though, it's a bit of a bargain. I'd have preferred Reach instead of Halo 4. Despite the crappy story Reach was a huge amount of fun and definitely my favourite of the series.

• Halo Master Chief Collection Steel Tin
• Physical Map book featuring all the maps available in the game
• Grunt Funeral Skull Downloadable Content.

So nothing really worth the extra cash. Ta

its 65 quid so still cheaper then buying the standard edition from Gamestop.

the map book would be handy with the 100 maps though

"Going gold" means that all testing is done and game is certified ready for release

I cannot wait to get this

Must give Halo 4 a blast to brush up again, haven't played it in ages

It's developer speak for the game is finished. In the good old days when a game is finished the final game was burned to a gold master disc which was then used to create all the retail copies. Hence the game had 'gone gold'.

Ah ok, I thought it was like when a game was already out and was really popular and sold a shed load of copies. Like when PS1 games went platinum.

Were cartridge games also burned to a "gold" disc? I'm guessing no

Still won't convince me to fork out for a X-Box One (despite my enjoyment of Destiny and Halo 2 at launch) having recently got the PS4, maybe in a year.... when it's cheap.... and has some more games that appeal specifically to me

If Reach and ODST were in this I would happily grab an XBone for this. Hell if it was just Reach and ODST I might. Oh well. Im sure there will be another collection released in a year or two.

Back then games were just done

Also games going platinum was just the name of Sony's budget label. Apparently games needed to sell 500,000 copies to get on it but they played a bit hard and fast with that since stuff like Symphony of the Night ended up on it, mostly because of the demand after it became rare, I doubt it sold any where near half a million on it's first print run.

Collection with reach, ODST, and wars, then gears collection.

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.

which ultimately is fine with me, ill trade disk space for cycle time, especially while fragging.

The game isn't actually finished yet.

All that's working 100% is the single player, the coop campaign is kinda working, and the MP is still pretty much off the table

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

See above. MP isn't finished yet

That would seem a bit strange considered they moved the release date forward to a bit over 2 weeks from now?

All of them can, but that's part of the 20Gb day one patch.

Halo 1 & 2 are two player co-op, including local split screen.

Halo 3 & 4 are four player co-op, including 2 player local split screen.
