We are talking about 4 games in one here. That's roughly 40 hours of campaign and a little over 100 multiplayer maps. Not sure why some people are surprised that they couldn't fit the whole game on 1 blu-ray without compromising quality due to heavy compression.

just like when forza 4 had so much content they made you download the install disk and buy just the play disk right? 

 

no reason they couldnt have just put the data on a second disk and made it install the content to hdd so you only needed first disk in to play. 

 

they just went with one because its cheaper to manufacture,  screw the hundreds of thousands with data caps or slow new. 

 

that wouldnt fit on disk explanation pretty much confirms that not only are you buying an incomplete game,  but you're shit out of luck if you eventually wanted to play it far off in the future when the servers are gone. 

nobody should be defending this bs practice,  regardless of console platform,  anything over 1gb on launch day is unacceptable,  but having it be both over 1gb and mandatory is just a clusterfuck. 

So even if i buy this games in the near future let say 6 years from now, do I still have to download 20 gb? If i have to download the game then, thats mean if the server is going down, then this games is probably failed before it's even sale it  to the gamers.
