That might be a theme or something. The beta is definately more than that. The audio alone will be more. My guess is somewhere between 5-10 GB for the beta, but it's all up for speculation atm.

The file size to be downloaded showed 180 MB. Remember that we are getting only a very small quantity of activities to be played, nowhere near the amount that will be in the full game. Audio files do not take much space at all. Examine the D1 audio files for sample sizes.

Bearbeitet von Titan main: 7/13/2017 2:00:04 AMHere's some of the data we know is needed: Base Game Engine Main Menu In Game Menu Orbit Loading screens A large portion of the Nesus map The Farm The Tower in the first mission 2 PVP maps [b]Models and Animations:[/b] 2 subclasses each for Titan/Warlock/Hunter including 3 grenades each and supers, 4+ types of Cabal, 4+ types of Vex, Guns, Armor, Ships, chickens, Ghost, Sweeper bot, several NPCs, etc. At least 3 cut scenes in the first mission [b]Audio Files:[/b] 3 cut scenes, NPC Dialog throughout mission(s) and strike, Shaxx Audio, Guns, supers, up to 18 different grenades (3 each for 6 subclasses), charged melees for each subclass, uncharged melees for each subclass, 6 supers (different activation sounds for friendly and enemy), Orbit OST, Mission OST, Strike OST, PVP OST possibly, ambient sounds... etc. While the data will likely be compressed, Audio for games is normally in a format such as WAV, which prioritizes quality over storage size. Along with everything else listed above, it is definitely several GBs. Not sure what the 180 MBs is for Edit: Honestly now that I've named all of that, I think it's most likely going to be between 10-20 GB.

Wildlands beta was about 4gb, division was around the same.

We will know next week. I reported what has been downloaded so far since no one else took the effort to do so.

No-one reported what has been downloaded so far because it is of no consequence. What people have already is basically a place-holder. FYI Destiny 1 Beta was around 12gb http://www.gamepur.com/news/15417-destiny-beta-build-size-xbox-one-revealed-massive-1263-gb-two-times-bigger.html Considering D2 as the base game is roughly 13% larger than all of D1 combined, I'm guessing the D2 Beta will be around 15gb.

Yes, it is of consequence because players are reporting they have nothing downloaded so far.

So your 38mb downloaded is critical? No.

[quote]We will know next week.[/quote] We'll find out tomorrow.. [quote]I reported what has been downloaded so far since no one else took the effort to do so.[/quote] That's because everyone knows that what we have downloaded isn't even the beta, not even a little bit.
