Not bad at all. Can’t wait to play the campaign!

Campaign - 28GB
Multiplayer - 18GB

Total 46GB

darthv721239d ago

That is pretty much the same size as Halo 5.

patrick11239d ago

We can expect them to grow exponentially with the new seasons and content additions.

XbladeTeddy1239d ago

Nice, I was expecting a bigger file size and to clear stuff from my SSD. Still using a 500GB which isn't cutting it lately.

Dave19801240d ago

Could they finally be using velocity?!

porkChop1240d ago

Could be. That's a pretty small file size. More devs need to start actually using Velocity.

kryteris1239d ago

velocity uses ssd's but the game does not require that. so unlikely.

porkChop1240d ago

Velocity Architecture is a bunch of things. Basically to make asset streaming, load times, etc., even faster than they already are. So stuff like new faster compression and decompression algorithms, optimizing the whole chain around/through the SSD, smaller file sizes, etc.

XbladeTeddy1239d ago

Must be something. An early leaked photo showed it needing 97.24GB of space.

Any indication of when pre load is up ?

Popsicle1239d ago

Already up. I pre-loaded the campaign over the weekend.

Deathdeliverer1240d ago

That is a respectable size. Can someone working on call of duty give Microsoft or Sony a call. These guys have figured out how to put amazing games in a reasonable amount of space.

VenomUK1239d ago

@Deathdeliverer. Sony has been leading in this space using the Kraken technology with game files being significantly smaller.

MS has a little bit more to do if they want to be known for their file sizes. I just downloaded Forza horizon 5 and it's over 100 gigs. I'm not complaining, it's a great game and I've got the space but that file size is huge.

"The story would have been expanded through yearly campaign DLC, so players would not have to wait for another mainline Halo title." ~ this seldom works
But I still think, they should've tried 1 last Halo sequel based on that slipspace engine, that they invested so much on but made for current gen only, before going all in on UE5.

Maybe they were replaced by AI.

Call me a cynic. But it seems that not even the people working in the studio know what’s the status of Halo.

They were going to add a BR mode, which then got cancelled, but now it’s a sequel to infinite, but may be a reboot of the first game?

It may be normal for development to be like this as super Mario galaxy started as cut content from Mario 128, which then became a tech demo, which became pikmin, which eventually became Mario galaxy.

But 343 or whatever they are called now-certainly don’t have a good track record so it makes me wonder what’s happening.

porkChop156d ago

The Halo: CE remake is a separate project from the Infinite sequel.

Knightofelemia156d ago

Maybe all the staff got laid off.

TheColbertinator155d ago

I'd be much more comfortable with the future of Halo if "343" or whatever they call themselves now were no longer in charge of the series.

WTF!!!? Can we add Tic-Tac-Toe, maybe Connect 4? How bout the card game Go Fish? Microsoft should shelve the Halo Franchise for 10 to 20yrs or sell it clearly they have no new ideas to take Halo forward and putting a "Hey gamer finish the game for us" mode and we can make more money off it and we can fire some more game Developers that we really don't even care about.......Microsoft is done even trying to make Halo a game worthy of even a little bit of our time.
