Denne store opdatering er påkrævet, ganske enkelt fordi at Blu-ray disken er stort set fyldt op, og da 343 Industries ikke ville gå på kompromis med kvaliteten, blev valget at lave hele multiplayer-delen som en separat download, på altså ikke mindre end 20GB.
Halo development director, Frank O'Connor er godt klar over, at det ikke er optimalt, men en anden løsning med at udgive spillet på to Bly-ray skiver, var endnu værre i følge ham. Halo er beregnet til at være en sammenhængende oplevelse og hvis man skulle skifte disk, ville dette blive ødelagt.
Frank O'Connor:
We realise that this isn't ideal for everyone, but it's the path to the smoothest eventual experience. Since the bulk of the content update is MP or MP related, the logic is sound. There will also be a title update in there, but that in itself is a tiny fraction of the content. The Xbox One platform continues to improve and mature, arguably faster and more meaningfully than others and maybe next year two discs or some other method would have been the right approach, but this year it's the option we have available that on balance, makes the most sense for this giant, ambitious project. Do I understand the inconvenience and annoyance for some users? Of course. I'm not going to blow smoke or ignore it. For some folks it will be straight up annoying and I both apologise unreservedly for the irritance, and hope that the package and the way it works more than makes up for it.
Hvad mener du om dette? Er du irriteret over, at du skal downloade 20GB, for at kunne få lov til at spille multiplayer delen? Hvilken løsning, synes du er den bedste i den situation 343 Industries står i?
