Reinstalling Halo 5: Guardians (COMPLETE)

Games Halo 5: Guardians
1

UPDATE I: At 4:36 PM EST, it is 25% done.
UPDATE II: At 4:50 PM EST, it is 50% done.
UPDATE III: At 5:16 PM EST, it is 75% done.
UPDATE IV: At 5:40 PM EST, it is 85% done.
UPDATE V: At 5:53 PM EST, it is 90% done.

UPDATE VI: At 6:03 PM EST, it is 95% done.

UPDATE VII: At 6:15 PM EST, download is 100% Complete.

Download time was 1 hour, 57 minutes running at a speed of 50 Mb/s, occasionally spiking as high as 75 Mb/s for about a second at random. The game currently takes up 91.6 gigabytes of hard drive, and I had to uninstall 6 different games in order to make room for it. Hopefully it’ll be worth it.

If not… uninstalling it only takes about a millisecond.

It’s over 95 gigabytes and I had to delete 6 games off my hard drive in order for it to fit. I started installation at 4:18 PM EST. Given the size of the download, it will take several hours.

343 Industries, this had better be worth it. I’m hoping the Monitor’s Bounty update has more than a few new REQs; I hoping you’ve addressed the numerous problems with Warzone Firefight, if nothing else.

If that’s not the case, I suppose there’s always the Custom Games Browser, which means I won’t have to suffer matchmaking whenever I’m looking to just have some fun… but seriously, fix Warzone Firefight.

Also hoping they’ll do something about the file size so this thing doesn’t take up as much space as 6 games… especially considering this update will likely add to the problem otherwise. At the very least, I will keep this game on my hard drive until the 2017 update with the classic helmets arrives. If there hasn’t been any serious improvements to the gameplay after that, then I’m deleting this piece of crap again.

Will update this a 25% intervals.

They’re making fixes to the aiming system too thank the lord.

fixing some of the controller latency issues that screw up the aiming from what I’ve heard. Not sure if they’re doing anything else will have to look into it.

Custom Game Browsers, new forge stuff, and some old game types coming in (KotH and Race!)… I couldn’t ask for anything more for this update.

Also, by fix WZFF, do you mean try to mix up bosses/objectives? Because recently WZFF has been one of my favorite gametypes, but more diversity in encounters is always a plus. (I still think you should be able to board/Hi-Jack enemy AI vehicles… It would make some encounters easier, but I need the consistency)

Well the aiming system is getting fixed I heard. Maybe buy a External hard drive. I bought a 2tb seagate for 1 hundred dollars.

I mean get rid of respawn penalties and nerf the hell out of the hyper-lethal bullet-sponge enemies, and do something about the broken spawn points. Where have you been?

Lol, I suppose I just got used to it, ha ha! But yes, answering those problems would make it much more enjoyable.

Yeah… I uninstalled it months ago after Anvil’s Legacy did absolutely nothing to improve the gameplay. But the fact that they’re adding classic helmets in 2017 has give me a small ray of hope that maybe- just maybe- things will be changing for the better soon, and that 343i is finally starting to listen.

If not… well, deleting the game is much easier than installing it.

Can’t they pack updates into smaller size? This is ridiculous! The game can’t be that big!

Yes! KotH! but sadly oddball has yet to be seen or announced in official matchmaking… which is sad since we already can play it in custom games.

Unfortunately, it is. Aside from not having any fun in this game and frustration at 343i for not addressing persistent problems with gameplay, the massive file size is one of the main reasons I uninstalled it in the first place.

Seriously 343i… compress.

Oh man, sounds so good. Ya have a link? In the 2newly released articles I didn’t find any information about that.
