File size estimates?

Just wondering how big of a download people would guess the game might be.

I think on Xbox one the whole thing without reach was around 80gb so around 100gb with Reach I guess. Though I've heard that like console we might be able to just install say the campaign of halo 2 or the mp of halo 3 as a way of saving space

Considering that reach will be coming with 4k resolution and what not the size will most likely be double of the base reach's size,considering that from what i recall reading reach withought dlc was around 7-9 gbs,i wouldn't be surprised with it being 18+ gbs

They wont make textures 4k. The resolution on xbox will just be upscaled to 4k and on pc you will just render more pixels. So game files should not change in size.

Halo Reach had at most 1080p display resolution. Might've been 720p. you could change display resolutions in the X-box 360 settings.

Looking at my files for Halo 2 Vista, it's ISO is exactly 4,012,066 KB (3.6 GB).
Halo Custom Edition (freeware multiplayer of Halo PC) comes to 448 MB as an installed game. That DOES NOT include the Campaign maps or voice lines.

SPV3 as a Halo Custom Edition MOD comes to 4.81 GB. (each map borders on 2+ hours on legendary, with a higher difficulty as well). I would assume Halo Anivversery was about 5 GB as well.

Halo Online's succsor mod, Eldewrito comes out at 4.2 GB in it's folder. Eldewrito lacks the campaign but has some maps made from Halo Online's short life included and an improved forge mode. (Object snapping and selectable textures on some objects)

Halo 3 came on ONE disk. I cannot remember if Halo 3 was duel layer, if it was, Halo 3 was at most 8.5 GB.

AS A GUESS, halo 1-3 (with remasters) will come out too a whopping 46.446 GB for Halo 1-2 (including remasters) and another 8.5 GB if Halo 3 isn't be remastered (54.948 GB).

Taking into what Bullz said about Halo 5; and assuming Halo 4 is about 60 GB (halo reach being 8.5 GB again). The total install might come out to 218.5 GB. Probably rounded up to 220 GB for user data, local custom maps/gamemodes and whatever 343i does to fix the Halo CE netcode (it's horrible, trust me).

It will take most people 2 days or more to download it and will fill most hard drives. I would recommend getting a new SSD (260gb?) and solely using it to house this game if that's the total size.

tl;dr it will probably be enough to fill a 250 GB hard drive, get a new SSD. Best guess is around 220 GB.

The current file size for MCC on Xbone is 77.2 GB, and the 360 version of Reach with all DLC is 13.6 GB. So assuming that file sizes will remain the same, we're looking at a total download size of 90.8 GB when the full collection is out.

Of course, this is just an estimate based on information we have at the moment, so it would be wise to expect it to be a little higher.

I just realized I completely ignored compression. Installed the game will probably be less than 200 GB. In what range? Who knows.

To be honest, using any .ISO files floating around would be the best way to estimate the size. Anything after Reach though doesn't come on disk. I don't have any other .ISO's on my computer so I can't give the sizes of Halo CE, Halo 3, ODST or Reach without making an image of my disks.
