How big is the file size going to be?

[Mitchell Godsend]

I have it for the Xbox One already and know that the file size is pretty massive.
My PC's 500GB SSD is being used for far more than just video games, so....
How big is the file size going to be?

If we are talking all games? Get ready for that 120GB download. But you also don't need to download all the games if you don't want to, so it depends on the content you want.

halo reach alone is approximately 12 gigs with all DLC so that's probably going to be its size on steam, plus some extra room if they add in new things

wwm0nkey: that's what I'm dreading... I'm gonna have to get another drive to be able to even install this thing.
Unexpected: I'm talking about the whole Halo Master Chief Collection - on Xbox One it's already 87.55 GB for the base download

if it's 87 and a half gigs on xbox one then that's probably going to be its size on steam, because you do have six big games on one platform, not accounting for any additional changes like texture quality and resolution changes

HDDs are pretty cheap now, hell if you're PC has a M2 slot get a 1tb SSD which are still dropping in price.

Unexpected: Well it is being ported over and apparently it's taking them so long because of the massive amount of bugs they're having to iron out of the port, so I'm not sure if that would have a large effect on the file size or not.
The thing about compression technologies and how they're used is that... well, just take Gears of War 4 for example, it launched at over a HUNDRED gigabytes, but they eventually patched it and it dropped the file size to 78GB on Xbox One and 93GB on Windows 10.
That's a pretty big file size difference between the two platforms.

wwm0nkey: That's true. I should probably get another drive regardless - 500GB just doesn't seem big enough anymore.

I'm not getting 4, and I'm probably going to wait to buy 2 until a rebalance mod can be made for the game, because it's the most unfair halo game in the series.

how was it unfair? just play on easy, no need to miss out on one of the best campaigns

I would guess his main complaint with Halo 2 is with regards to playing on legendary and how strong the enemies are compared to Halo CE and Halo 3.

The game overral is simpley unfair, halo 2's dvelopment as we know was hellish, so bungie didn't have time to balance the game like CE because of how ambitious they were, so they ramped up the lethality, which made this game a chore to play even on heroic in several spots. I don't play on easy or normal because that's lame. I'm not a little kid I want to be challenged, CE is fair, halo 3 is fair except for vehicle sections. ODST is fair for the most part. Reach less so but more then 2. In halo 2, you can die within a second, if you even last that long.
