That's just straight up bullshit.
When there's that much content missing day 1, they should delay it instead of putting the burden on the players harddrives/internet caps.
20GB, that's almost the size of an entire game. What the hell is on the disc? Just the main menu?

According to Halo Franchise Director Frank O'Connor, all 4 Halo campaigns as well as some of the multiplayer maps. The download is for the rest of the multiplayer maps.

Shouldn't even bother, people are still going to throw hate not knowing the full story. 

The last part was sarcasm.
Though at the same time I did genuinely wonder what was on the disc.
Point still stands though. 20GB is almost the size of an entire game. Either launch with 2 discs, or in case the content wasn't finished, delay it until it is, and then release it. If this becomes a trend just because devs don't want to launch with 2 discs, our harddives will fill up fast with unnecesary files.

the content is done if you buy the digital verison youll already have the update.  they just literally filled the disk to its max.  

this is what frankie said about two disks

And remember that if it were two discs, that would completely wreck the functionality and experience of the unified interface. Trust me, two discs would have been easier in a lot of ways.
