Well, considering DVD's don't hold much, you installed very little hahah. Its honestly shocking how huge games are currently. I'm glad I pre-loaded FO4 (I only bought it after the early-reviews came out), because man 30-some-gigs takes a while on my Canuckistan "high-speed"

The entire game is 24GB. The DVD does nothing but link a download.

Speaking of high-speed internet...
My friend lives in a somewhat rural area and has Frontier DSL. Her speeds have been getting slower and slower so they sent a tech out. The tech said there's nothing they can do as the service is overloaded. Why couldn't they tell her that on the phone? And he said that Windows 10 is crashing their modems and they don't know how to fix it. Is there any truth to this? Ugh.

If Frontier uses old-as-gently caress modems (probable) then Windows 10 may have a tiny bit to do with it. By default, updates come through a peer-to-peer (bittorrent) connection. When poorly implemented, you end up with a lot of half open connections in the modem/router, and some older routers have a problem with that.

Though I'd assume Microsoft would be smart and limit it to maybe like 30 or 100 total connections. I used to crash my <insert various versions here> WRT54G routers (even with Tomato or DD-WRT) by upping the maximum number of half-open connections from 30 to 500 in Windows XP so my torrenting would go faster.

I installed like 5 GB and now it's downloading the remaining 19GB. I'm looking at the minimum specs and I'm now officially worried. I remember when counter-strike first came out and I played it on my intel i810 integrated graphics and it would *barely* work. I have the feeling this is going to be the same setup. Minimum processor: i5 2300 (have 2500), minimum graphics: gtx 550Ti 2GB (have 560), ram: 8GB (have 16GB)

I bet this will be just like when I tried to install server 2003 from when I went to college on my old 1900 poweredge server: support dropped 6 months ago, buy another OS. :ughh:

I'm still using an old hex core I bought in 2011. I have upgraded my video card since then though. I did that because my 560 TI died and they sent me a 650 TI. It didn't like dual monitors so I got a 7950 from a friend.

Hey, it's actually fun! I skipped Ghosts and Advanced Warfare after playing them on a friend's PS4 because they weren't really all that fun. CodBloops3 is actually legitimately enjoyable. It's been a long time since I actually had a blast playing a multiplayer shooter, this game scratches that itch :v:
