Seriously …
I don’t have much time the last weeks, and now I have some neightbour people here good friends (from whom I bought their used Xbox 360 - more or less … yes USED - whahahahar!) and we want to play Halo MCC online on my own XBO - as long as I/we still have the free Gold thing.
But … Halo needs an update … Horray! AGAIN?!
Now it is updateing for like 40 Minutes (16.000 ADSL2+) and it just moved from 2% to 3%. With that speed it will take around 16-20 hours. How big is that patch anyway? And why the holy hell is one out again?!
I am tired of this … seriously. Now we lose at least 2-3 hours of playing … if the game will start around 4% or 5% - which I don’t belive. And I guess - matchmaking won’t work well, too. Again. Syncronisation - whatever. You dunno if a game will start until it realy started - Halos matchmaking can drop you anywere: Playerlobby, loading the map, starting the map. And after that, there is a big risk of Lag or imba teams (like 2 VS 6).
I know this is a realy personal thing now here and not an objective analysis - But sorry, it is because I have a lot of important stuff to do and not much time. → And then, if I find some time to play a bit … with people who just came here to play a bit … and then it needs an update that will take days - or at least it looks like that.
I hope you know what I mean. I 've personaly just enaugh of this.
Every week an update is much to much. And big updates should be avoided generally.
But hey, some good news … we will play now some CoD 2 Campaign on “our” XBox 360 instead of Halo MCC online, or maybe another classic CoD: MW1. Just saying to show you which games we prefer at the moment instead of Halo - but ya: at least … they don’t need an update anymore!
Thx for reading.
Yes, this is something like a standard complaint. Sorry, but; I am a honest human and, I just had to throw one out now.
:S
At least yours doesn’t say “Not connect to xbox live”

Not yet. 
But I dunno exactly, because here is only one TV and now we have the 360 screen there. Maybe it stucked or disconnected. Hell, maybe we should not look there
THE XBOX ONE DOWNLOADS SLOWLY NO MATTER WHAT BUT EVEN SLOWER WHEN YOUR RUNNING OTHER APPS IN THE BACKGROUND IF YOU WANT IT TO RUN FASTER JUST LEAVE IT ALONE FOR A WHILE AND TURN THAT 360 OFF YOU SHOULD THINK ABOUT THE INSTANT ON MODE WHICH DOWNLOADS UPDATES AUTOMATICALLY
Took me like half an hour. Depends on your download speed.

Instant On mode would have had it taken care of for you in your downtime but since the update was just yesterday you may have still run into uodate timing issues.
I do have to respectfully disagree about the X1 downloading slowly as mine download gigs extremely fast. It may not be a fair comparison as I get about 170mbps but I find the server on their end to be upping pretty quickly for the traffic when an update hits.
You can enable instant on mode in your power settings. It enables background downloads and updates when you shut the console off as it will remain in a state of connected standby.
Instant on consumes way too much power imo.
I’d rather not have to download gigabytes of patches every month because a game is shipped prematurely.
I did have it on in the beginning, but that was until i realised Halo wasn’t going to be fixed any time soon.
Update times suck. It is a step back for sure
