While I understand that the DLC of every Xbox 360 Halo title is free now, digital content doesn’t last the way physical content does. Because of this, I’m curious as to how the Game of the Year Edition of Halo 4 handles its included DLC.
Is the included DLC with Halo 4’s Game of the Year Edition on an installation disc? Or is it a download code?
You’ll find the download in the store, under the add-on/DLC options. It took me a while to realise… nowhere near enough coffee, that morning.
EDIT: I actually clicked on the Game of the Year version, sorry.

The box contains a bunch of codes. The two discs included are the same as the regular version.

For real? That’s lame.
I guess there’s Halo: The Master Chief Collection, but the Xbox One forcing you to create an Xbox Live account will render the console unusable one day.

You can in fact play Halo: The Master Chief Collection without Xbox Live at all, so like…what?
It’s just you need the “day 1 update” of it 1st, because that day 1 update literally includes the files just to play the game. Soo…essentially if you got a console that doesn’t have the day 1 update, the MCC will essentially be useless. At least I think that’s how it works, haven’t tried installing MCC on a console without xbox live what so ever just to see if it’ll work or not.
At least with Halo 5 we’ll still be able to play it and all, but a ton of the maps 343 has added over the years (along with the entirety of forge) won’t be accessible anymore, neither will custom games due to everything in Halo 5 being “online only” except for campaign. Unless Microsoft decides to keep the Xbox Live servers on forever.

The first time you use an Xbox One, you’re forced to connect to the internet in order to either create an online account or to download one. Because of this, once the Xbox Live servers for the Xbox One are one day shut down, the console will brick itself should anything ever happen to your hard drive as it’ll be impossible to get that forced online account back.
No server lasts forever, and the Xbox One will become a paperweight one day because of it.

Wrong. All Xbox One’s that don’t have the Day 1 update (meaning any brand new console that hasn’t ever been opened) will be useless and unusable, unless you download a brand new Xbox One OS off the internet from a cloned drive, which will fix the problem. Factory Resets will be impossible though.
The Console won’t brick it-self, at least for Xbox One’s that have the day 1 updates and all. The Xbox 360 is still going strong even today, so who knows if the Xbox One’s servers will ever be shut down.

I can’t explain things any more clear than I just did, so I’m not going to argue with you as I’d just be repeating myself.
