If only my penis was as big as my GamerScore!
A lot of salty desperation around here this month. I just heard that Phil Spencer doesn't sort his recycling, can we get another thread about what a heathen he is?
NoCan the campaing be preloaded by Gamepass Ultimate users?
I'm trying but it kepps downloading the 18GB multiplayer part...
Why does it matter? A disc is a disc. Why does the exact time need to be locked?

The third world would like to have a word with youIt is pedantic because internet is nearly as widespread as electricity.

Thats a really shitty thing to do for a singleplayer console game. Not even Cyberpunk pulled a bait and switch like that.
I'm wondering why the physical version evem exists other than maybe just something for people to buy as a Christmas present?
I'm pretty sure I remember a thread where someone was pointing out Mass Effect Legendary Edition Trilogy can't be played offline with the disc until you redownload the entire game.It's not really pedantic. I can't think of any other big single-player game that doesn't have the full game on disc.
There was that case with the Spyro or Crash trilogy I think, but that's it.
What's the difference between data on a CD vs the same data on a USB drive, SSD or HDD?
Halo Infinite went with a Global release as opposed to a midnight released depending on your time zone.
I would imagine most people in third world counties can't pay these prices. Frankly I probably wouldn't able to justify it. It's something like 500 dollars for the equipment and the monthly price is over 100 dollars.Starlink - Wikipedia

So why they advertised it all over the place (TV ads, YouTube ads, posters, online banners...) to be released on December 8th without specifying the time? Why can you buy it in physical format since this morning (10+ hours in my region) in every major retailer? And most importantly: why do you need a fucking map to understand when you can play the game?
This is a disaster and there's no other way to look at it.
This is good. Prevents spoilers.
But press being allowed to play early isn't something I like
You make it sound like it is not confusing.We don't need the map, I posted it for YOU! since you're the confused one
You want this so badly to be a disaster. Sorry, but the game is out and disc copies are working. Move on

Then I guess they aren’t buying $500 video game consoles either.I would imagine most people in third world counties can't pay these prices. Frankly I probably wouldn't able to justify it. It's something like 500 dollars for the equipment and the monthly price is over 100 dollars.
Oh, well that changes everything.It’s been known for weeks. But people in this thread are ignoring that small fact.
Moronic.Good. People shouldn't be allowed to play a game before it's been officially released. It's not officially released for another 4 1/2 hours.
Not even remotely comparable.Then I guess they aren’t buying $500 video game consoles either.
I think this partially was done to prevent leaks?
Stay away from the internet?
So now everyone has access to the internet.
Listen. I played more Halo Infinite than most likely anyone else on this forum. 106 hours and counting. I adore this game.
How the hell do I want it to be a disaster if I specifically woke up early and went to local MediaMarkt to buy a physical copy just so I can play few hours early since my Steam pre-order won't unlock until 7pm?
The game is out and disc copies are NOT working. Learn to read. That's the issue. If you can't understand it, that's not my problem. Who's confused now?

1 hourhow much goddamn time left?
Not when you have an army of clowns to support every little thing you do. Who defend some of the most asinine shit on command.... FOR THE BRAAAANNNND!Something has to change in regards to disc vs digital. Digital prices need to drop and physical copies need to be playable on command.
You're comparing apples to cars right now and you probably know it.Then I guess they aren’t buying $500 video game consoles either.
Okay? I'm from the third world. I game and I'm not alone in my country. My point still stands. Not everyone has Internet access in the third world but are able to play games...Third world is more interesting in getting food, healthcare,heating and shelter let alone videogames.
Large areas of india and africa dont have electricity, some places burn cow shit to cook food.
That's the same guy that allows you to put your 20 years old Panzer Dragoon Orta disc inside any modern Xbox and download a widescreen 4K enhanced version of the game for free.Phil Spencer boast about game preservation (out of nowhere) months later drops a 60 dollar physical game with no game data on it

yes, xbox sent out a blast like 5 min ago,Can the campaing be preloaded by Gamepass Ultimate users?

Because you wrote it right here:
I'm not as fluent in hyperbole.
This is next level bullshit. In my 30 years of gaming I can't recall a situation where I couldn't play a game that I bought on a disc.
I preordered Halo Infinite on Steam but this morning I decided to go to my local game store and pick up physical version for Series X to start playing early. The piece of shit doesn’t work. It even prompts you to preorder campaign once you get to main menu for another 60 EUR which just adds insult to injury.
Fuuuuuuuuuuuck
Most new games require a day 1 patch before playing. Most of the game is on the disc I'm sure (look and see when installing if it's all network or disk.This is next level bullshit. In my 30 years of gaming I can't recall a situation where I couldn't play a game that I bought on a disc.

That is not true. The PS4, PS5, and Switch all work just fine without online connections. We crap on games that have bizarre requirements all the time. There are threads for COD and others.Every gaming platform requires some sort of online requirement these days, so its pretty weird singleing out one game
Thank you! This isn’t the end of the world but it is a sad state of affairs. I’ll likely consider the steam version but I also like to own physical console games. This is crappy and shouldn’t be an issue.It's not a deal breaker or anything, but it's not great
I buy all games digital, but there's a reason why people buy on disc to this day
I am speculating but didn’t Microsoft have GFWL or whatever and they already jettisoned all those players into the ether because they couldn’t be bothered to keep it running.Imagine the day when the servers are decommissioned or MS/xbox gets bored of keeping patches for old games around? I say this an old timer who has seen a lot of online DRM systems go over the years... Like you can make the argument for services like gamepass/psnow/etc. the games expire anyway when you stop paying, so if they discontinue the service this is just part of the deal.

A. Single. Player. Game. On. Disc.Yeah, modern gaming does not work well without internet, its just weird to single out halo for this problem.

This is a first I believe, for a disc based single player game.
