Will all the games be playable without the update?


If it's all multiplayer stuff, then I assume so.

This may be a possibility.

The "20GB Content" is probably not finished till days before launched but the discs need to be printed already ...

If true than this is a ripoff because then you buy a disc that won't even work fully without Internet.

Better than not working EVER without internet like a certain Bungie game

That's kind of unacceptable if the 20gb is required to play the game.

Its most likely the 100+ multiplayer maps.

That's kind of dumb. If they had that much data. Than why not put two games per, and make a two disc set. You don't run into space issues. This also means the full installation size is 70GB. It be interesting if they let you choose to install a game from the MC collection.

Isn't the point of the collection that all games are playable via one hub?
Making it possible to make playlists that span maps from different games. That wouldn't work if you had to switch discs.

But the point remains that they have could just put those 20GB on another Blu-ray, whatever the content is and make the instal mandatory.

That's pretty good compared to other install sizes.

Why can't they use a dual layer blu Ray disc?

You install the games anyway. Either disc is jsut used for Disc insert check. It wouldn't matter if it was on a second disc.

45GB is a dual layer BD disc. No one has yet used the 100GB created BD discs though.

Sounds like the game was rushed.
