Halo War 2 Day One patch

The first players who got their hands on the game report that Halo War 2 also comes with a 2.8 GB Day One Patch. Surprisingly, downloading and installing it takes quite a lot of time, despite using a high-speed Internet connection.

What the eff happened to allowing games to preload the day one updates? Launch the game on Xbox one and BOOM day one update.
It loads the first GB pretty dang fast (I got fast internet) but now it’s going maybe 5-10Mbps on account of their servers being slammed.
What the hell Microsoft?!

Other players report that despite having preloaded the game, they still have a 24.05 GB update waiting in line.

According to reports, the Halo War 2 Day One patch fixes numerous issues found in the last beta to offer a better gaming experience.
