WickedD365 Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Just curious as to how much dead time I will have before I am able to play. I will be installing both disk and texture pack. If anyone does this, give me an estimated time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burnout x360a Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Installing discs really doesn't take long, from my experience it's usually around 10 to 20 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savok1 Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Installing discs really doesn't take long, from my experience it's usually around 10 to 20 minutes. Sounds about rite, easy 20mins for both discs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barad Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Gears 3 took me over 40 mins so BF3 could take ages as there are 2 discs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bio187 Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Thats kind of a hard question for people to reply to because how good of a condition your xbox is does affect this. I'd say maybe an hour depending on the total size, imma install when i get it in a lil, and if nobody else is on here yet ill tell you how long my last leg arcade with my elite hard drive in it takes.

IronBrutzler Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 yeah installing tools about 20min at the most games. The only bad thing is that you have to download the HD textures.....that will take ages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tatanko Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 The only bad thing is that you have to download the HD textures.....that will take ages. No you don't. I installed mine offline by accident when I first put the game in, not realizing I wasn't signed into Live. I only noticed I was offline when I thought, "Hey, I was never prompted to download the update. What gives?" The content is on the disc. Just the texture pack install by itself didn't take me more than two minutes. The update also went fairly quick, maybe a minute or two. I didn't install anything else yet because I could only play for a little before I needed sleep for work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WickedD365 Posted October 25, 2011 Author Share Posted October 25, 2011 Ok, So I can grub down while it's loading. That's what I was wondering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're going to take the time to eat, you may as well install everything while you're at it. I just did the texture pack and title update and barely had time to check email Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Buds Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 disc 1 (multiplayer/co-op) - 7.3GB - 15 minutes. disc 2 (single player) - 6.7GB - 12 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tatanko Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 That was the plan. Both disk and and texture pack. I will be going back and installing both discs this afternoon after work before I play again. I had stated yesterday that the loading time advantage from BC2 was gone, but now that I think about it, that's not totally true. If you load up quicker, you have more time to get your kit(s) set up the way you want them before the match starts! With so many options and such a variety of things to pick from, I need all the time available to get myself sorted before the match begins.

FeaRs Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Installing discs really doesn't take long, from my experience it's usually around 10 to 20 minutes. I don't know why but it seemed like these discs took me longer to install then most, I always install my games to my HDD. Maybe it was just something going on with me. I got home around 12:15-12:30 last night and didn't get done installing content and games until around 12:55-1:00. Bad internet, I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your connection shouldn't have anything to do with it. Installing the discs and the HD content can all be done offline. The only thing you need Live for is to download the title update.

NickerPL Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 FYI, I just installed Battlefield 3 and I now have to download around 167MB of patch so add some extra time depending on your net speed - not sure if it's the same in other SKU's but that's what happened with my region SKU.

That patch seriously took me less than 2 minutes to download last night, and that was at like 12:30 EST when there should have been half a billion people trying to download it.

This. After the time i spent installing the game and installing the HD pack, the patch was nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's only rated at like 8mbps down and 2mbps up. Might be a little faster than that in reality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amirbashah Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 I already installed both of the discs to my hard drive and installed the hd/texture pack. I used the multiplayer disc to install the hd pack. Do I have to install the texture pack on the other disc as well? I just feel the graphics in single player are not that great. I already tried to install the texture pack on the single player disc but can't seem to find a way to do it it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MediumMelanin Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 So, about 20-30 minutes, roughly from these estimates? Damn...I wonder why we can't install on the PS3...unless we can...but I haven't found out? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
