How big is Halo 5 right now?

Games Halo 5: Guardians
1

I heard that Firefight update is 7GB. These updates have been mostly like this. Can anyone tell me what is the total size of Halo 5 including this update? I think it’s bit ridiculous take so much space.

2

I think around 80GB, it is a massive game for sure.

3

87.3 GB after update

That’s huge, what made this game so big? There isn’t a lot of stuff in this game, unless you consider REQs as a content.

Well theres the story,the reqs,the multiplayer with alot of maps and forge which is basically a mini dev kit.

Reqs are sever side thing a. I don’t think they count because when hog wild dropped, we did not have to download anything

Compare to Mater Chief Collection, which is bigger? (MCC is bigger right?) I ask you because I am not certain about it.

MCC has 4 campaigns, 3 Forge, huge playlists on multiplayer, and Spartan Ops. It is superior to Halo 5 on just content. It makes me question more why Halo 5 is so big.

It’s bigger in memory only because they don’t compact it down. Has nothing to do with content, there are plenty of games bigger in content but smaller in memory space.

My guess would be that it is mostly due to uncompressed (or lightly compressed) audio and higher fidelity visual assets.
