Installed Xbox One today to play Halo 5.

So finally after an hour of sucking the data from the disc, we're forced into an 18Gb update. We aren't even playing multiplayer online, we just want to play the local campaign.

Wow.

People don't really read on these Forums do they.

You've been given some well meaning and in most cases accurate and helpful advice...

But when it comes to the campaign, "HALO 5" is a single player game. There is no "local co-op" despite this being a staple feature of every HALO game that's been released previously.

If you want to play co-op campgain you can only do this online via XBox LIVE.

Thing is with games now they can't fit everything on the disc so the rest is a day one download.

I don't remember Witcher III having a huge update on release; big story driven game with nice graphics. Fallout 4 comes in at slightly over 28Gb, with a day one patch just under a 500Mb, and the most recent of 1.2Gb; seeing as they can fit 50Gb on a Blu-Ray...Just
don't know if I can buy that argument.

Sloppy programming or just a clever way to hide D.R.M. is my take.

Peace, J.R.

OP, just set your console to offline to avoid having to download the update too. Then just connect it when you go to sleep. I hope you know that there is no split screen, since you said "We just wanted to play the "local campaign."

For those wondering PS4 installs from disk faster than the xbox one. It also downloads all updates in the background so the OP could play the campaign and not have to wait for the entire thing to update like on xbox one. Though of course any online features
will not be available until it updates of course.

Do some people use their brain ??? (you might waste your time).

Don't want to update,just unplug it or switch to offline setting.....
