The title really explains itself, but I will say that most of my friends who own the game uninstalled it soley because the file size is too large, and I’m willing to bet they weren’t the only ones
I agree it’s a bit ridiculous. 1/4 of my systems memory is currently being taken up by one game.

Since the handoff for release, the team has found ways to further reduce the size of this update, and will be addressing this in a future hotfix.”*That said, right now, Halo 5 is roughly as large as Halo 3, ODST, Reach, Halo 4, Spartan Assault, Halo Wars BC, Halo Wars DE, and Halo Wars 2 combined. Including all the DLC/map packs. Basically, every Halo game minus the MCC. Give or take a couple gigs … or give or take Spartan Assault, really.
Same although titanfall 2 for me is large and bfh.
So how big is H5 now?

Right around 106gb
I find it quite funny that the MCC, even with ODST added, takes up less space. But, let’s be real. The update size was a lot less than I was expecting, considering the amount of stuff being added and past updates.
The reason the file size is so massive is because they have mostly raw, uncompressed assets that look so much better than if they were compressed (although I don’t give a -Yoink- about quality). If these are smaller files you will reduce the size drastically.
So right now the game is about 100 GB … I can fit about 3 games of better quality into just the space this game takes … they need to give us an update to compress all of the data … especially in the future if they want backwards compatibility with any new console …

I like those uncompressed assets…

Wait, Halo 5 is as big as Halo Reach and ALL those other games?
Hell dude, on the Xbox 360 Halo Reach was 7 GB!
What happened to that? That game gigantic too.
Maybe they’re willing to offer us a pixel version of halo five guardians, Meets Minecraft or something. I would imagine that would cut down on the graphics, but the real time physics Engine is probably considerable chunk of code. Then there’s the operating system which is May times more complex than some games because of the sandbox feature loan us to build our own custom games. I do think there are other games out there that we can enjoy and many other fashions, but I agree a lot of people have a good point about some type of zip unfolding file, that’s even if we can still do. Something like this with that type of coding?
Don’t worry by halo 5’s tenth year anniversary the game will be just big enough to consume all the memory on the halo 5 Xbox one edidition!
This is the way thigs are going. Larger and larger files. Get used to it. They say updates for xbox x enhanced games are going to be in the tens of gigs.
It’s not just Halo 5. Gears of War 4 went up to 103 Gb after I updated it yesterday, it’s getting ridiculous.
