Seriously? 6.2gb Update For Forge Maps?

This is just incredible. Why would it be 6gb for just forge maps. I Really am confused why this update is so huge. I wont be online for a while now since i dont have the best internet.

You don’t need to censor the middle of the word “m-Yoink-ive”.

EDIT: I stand corrected. The website does that automatically…

Ummm is this really how you think game updates work?

Re-reading what i said, i do sound stupid loll. But what i mean is that forge maps are generally pretty tiny to download, especially since we already have the base forge canvas’s already installed on the xbox hardrive. So yeah 6gb for a few forge maps bit too much.

It’s not just forge maps. They probably won’t reveal what else is in there. I remember after an update for Halo MCC there were new in-game sounds like insects. So my guess is it’s something that should have been there already but they didn’t have time to get it done before release date. Which is why there is no splitscreen. They didn’t have the time to make it work and they already screwed up with MCC.

I think the fact that we got a bunch of Forge maps is the bigger disservice here. Nothing like knowing that a map that appeared in the last Halo game looked better than the newest iteration. I mean, I get it: Forge can do some complex stuff. And, forge players can make some great maps. But, game developers have the amazing ability to create entire assets. Forge does not. I feel like I’m running around bland, unfinishing, untextered and uninteresting areas in the otherwise rich Halo universe.

I honestly like the somewhat “spartan” (I’m sorry) look of the maps, they remind me of halo 3 and that’s always good. 100% understand your point though.

It’s more than just maps. Btb, I’ve heard the aiming (which many have complained about) has been fixed, idk if true, I’ve yet yo download and play. I believe they’ve also updated the lobbies to be more in depth on post game stats and medals. I’m also sure there’s other things they added that havnt been noticed.

Its been blocking many words for some reason. Words like population has been sensored as well unless it’s fixed.

It does seem like a ridiculous amount for some Forge maps and game modes. I’m willing to bet the majority of Forge got ported over for assets, just not the entire mode yet.

This is also a possibility, updates can be used to “prep” the actual future updates as well OP.

No medals in the carnage report so…

I was admittedly surprised to see how relatively large the update was. I’m also curious to learn what constitutes all of those gigs lol. (downloading as we speak… or I… type…)

Speaking as a programmer: this.
It’s a huge game, cutting out all the ‘non-essential’ dependencies would be extremely tedious and require a whole lot of additional work-arounds.
