Well - i think i fucked up.
The game auto detected the 4GB update but I thought i'd be celevr and go into "manage game". in there I could see a new entry for campaign, so i ticked that to download it and hit save...the game immediately switched the 4GB update to be 48GB! i.e. it's installing the multiplayer again even though it already had it.
The xbox is finicky about updates and i think me messing in the menus altered the original update - if that happens it just wipes the whole game and you have to install again.
So I'm utterly dependent on cloud working and I doubt they enable it because the servers will crash.
I'll prob play campaign on quality mode, too many framedrops and no vrr support on performance.
I'll try both though.
jesus christ guys i am so fucking sick of windows store. campaign installed before i left my place, turned off my pc. got home now and now its fucking doing this.
microsoft needs to get their shit together when it comes to this. jesus.
im reinstalling btw. uninstalling and reinstalling gaming services thru powershell did fuck all.

Fuck. Lemme know if that works. This is absolutely rediculous. I was playing multi right before the campaign download went live just fine. Now I can't even launch it without this weird Gaming Services prompt in the Windows Store. What the actual fuck. This is not a great first impression of Game Pass and Windows Store I know that much. Shoulda just bought it on Steam.
Something must be pretty messed up for you, I would think. Strange.The input lag is pretty bad for the campaign. Didn't notice this in multiplayer

Thanks. That's good to know. I am wondering if I should get a $400-$500 one or a very cheap one that maxes out at like 1080p for $200 and get a Series S to basically play MP only on it. I have a Series X but switching cables to the monitors could get annoying since I am on a 4K monitor already for it.120 fps is only really relevant for MP, but there it does feel amazing. I really enjoy it for Halo and Fortnite.

I think the same thing happened to me this morning, I'm about to leave for work so I just have to hope it sorts itself out by the time I get home.
In another thread someone was posting in all caps that it's a genuine problem and does delete the multiplayer part that was already downloaded (which is what I feared). No Halo for me tonight!

No VRR is mind boggling. Like this is their flagship game and VRR is something they tout that Playstation doesn't have yet. My OLED is sad. Same goes for the brightness issue and the cutscene stutter. The gameplay is fantastic but the presentation leaves a bit to be desired.
answered my own question, from the TA review
" although with both Skulls and logs hidden away in unrepeatable story missions, you'll either need to be very thorough or prepared to do multiple runs to grab the lot."
thats lame, ill wait for collectible guides before playing this then
No input lag whatsoever. I am however playing on a C1 with Input Lag set to "boost"The input lag is pretty bad for the campaign. Didn't notice this in multiplayer
My only experience with Halo was ODST years ago. Is it worth revisit the franchise with Masterchief Collection or should I jump directly into Infinite? Series X here (if this is relevant in any way).

Not sure whats going on with some of your games on here, I'm running quality mode on XSX on my c9, visually its outstanding, no stutter or framedrops.
Sometimes if you "quick resume" the game and start playing again, you get some crazy input lag and framerate stutter. I'd "quit" and restart it.
See if that works for those w/ issues between campaign and MP.
As per brightness, I heard Dolby Vision had some issues making things washed out. I am just using HDR 10.
The only thing I'm having an issue with was actually activation Dolby Vision w/ quality mode before I found out it was borked (maybe it was fixed tho? I saw a thread on it on Reddit like 20 days ago). Wouldn't let me select anything other than performance on my c9. Maybe because I had VRR selected? No idea.

MCC is a great way to experience the older titles, but I never recommend playing all older games before the new one. You will just burn yourself out. Play Infinite and if you like it you can always go back.
I did the exact same fucking thing. Eurgh.Well - i think i fucked up.

Bro these voice lines from the enemies are killing me, so good.
How do I actually download the game on pc gamepass. I guess I installed the MP on accident but I still don't see a campaign option.
I started a reinstall. Donno if that'll fix it but will find out soon.
AliGalactic game is launching now after reinstall but have to reinstall the campaign now. woof
I installed the 4GB update, then went into the game, and tried to play the campaign - which took me to an in-game menu that allowed me to download the campaign à la MCC.
~21GB or something [cannae remember, at work now while it downlaods].
My condolences to both of you - welcome to 25GB's worth of deja vue!! :-(
