drat that's a good deal. Wireless Xbox controller with a quickly swappable rechargeable battery situation is easily my favorite PC gaming controller solution I've ever used... might just pick up one for when my current controller wears down.

The new controllers are a nice step up from last generations too. It's not a huge difference but you can definitely feel the improvement.

I want a series 2 elite halo edition but I think I've missed the boat on that one. Has there been any rumours about a series 3 elite coming any time soon? I love my series 1 elite but I broke the LB button. I fixed it with a kit off ebay but now sometimes when I press it to jump in halo my man also randomly throws a grenade (LT) which when you're clambering up a ledge with the flag is not ideal.

Does 12 minutes ever expand beyond the apartment? I was enjoying it well enough but then googled the length and I'm getting reports of like 12-20 hours whut? Seems like something that would be fun for maybe 2 or 3 hours tops unless the scope is much bigger than it appears.

No it doesnt and those times are insane. Also Forgotten City is also on gamepass and literally everything 12 Minutes wishes it was

Carly shook her glass, willing the ice to melt. "You still haven't told me what the mission is."

She leaned forward. "We are going to assassinate the bad men of Hollywood."


I think I beat 12 Minutes in under 5 hours. Once you find out it's just a series of timed puzzles with only one method of advancing it really starts to fall off, even apart from the incredibly stupid story.

I liked 12 Minutes. It's not going to blow your mind but it's a fun little point and click era adventure game. I think I was done in 4 or 5 hours iirc.

Forgotten City was fine. I got one ending and don't feel like going back.

Seems there'll also be a 4 gig update, which just raises further questions about the methodology but whatever.

Seems to all make sense to me?

343 is one of the studios that uses the piecemeal installer. That means basically you have a base shell and only download what you need/want. MCC used this too. Their base game is their F2P client, and Campaign is structured how DLC would be wrt to content locking.

Pre-downloads And whatnot are generally for main client. Today is an overall patch day for the entire game, so the patch size is just different based on what you got.

Maybe they could've released it at midnight instead and let people download it while at work.

It’s so poorly optimised, I couldn’t believe how bad the very first level ran.

I’m really torn on whether or not to play the campaign. Doesn’t feel like Halo if it’s not couch co op.

How does this download? is it just going to be a big fat update for the multiplayer game?

Just got a 4 GB update to multiplayer which I assume will help trigger the campaign download

The campaign should be a separate DLC package I think.

It should all be available now if Microsoft Azure isn't having a heated us-east-1 moment.

Highlight Halo Infinite somewhere in the OS, press the burg button on your controller, select "Manage game and add-ons", then A twice.
