when bungie says you can play from either disk its because the maps are on both disks, not because you can download them. Also anyone who says that you can just "download the game to your hardrive" is a retard. You still need the disk to play it.

Where did you hear that?

Bungie have said loads of times that you can play the maps from either disk, and the only way this would be possible is if they are copied to the hard drive.


No, the maps on the Halo 3 disk are not copied to your HDD.


Ok so if that is not right, do you think many people will be happy, having to close the game down, change cd and the start up again to play the CO-OP missions!! That is the dumbs thing i have heard! I for one would not do that!

1. Maps copied to hard drive.
2. Put ODST disk in drive (Note that not once has anyone said that matchmaker is on the 2nd cd)
3. Start up game. (Maps only load if ODST CD in drive, Microsoft likes doing things like this. see note 1a.)
4. Go to MENU in game chose matchmaking
5. Play

From CD

1. Put 2nd cd in drive.
2. Run ODST, (Why will you not run)
3.......

Dang the matchmaking on the other cd, how the heck am i going to play the new maps!!! Dang microsoft why did you not think of this!

1a. Just like you can copy the game to the hard drive to make it run faster, but you still have to have the cd in the drive to show that you have the game! Save having the cd spinning and getting messed up!

It will take what, 5 seconds? I don't think that;s unreasonable at all.

you'd still have to switch to the halo 3 disk if you wanted to play matchmaking. I see no difference in switching to the second ODST disk. or maybe i am just having trouble understanding what your post is supposed to say

All matchmaking, customs, and forge happen on disc 2 if that clears anything up.

It had to be like that, if the maps are only on that disk, how else could you play customs or forge those three new maps.

No you don't I dont want to sound rude, this is not my aim....

Copy maps to hard drive.
Use ODST cd (Has everything on it for matchmaking) I could find it if you want but i did read, maybe did not understand right, but the bungie person said that the maps were on the 2nd cd not everything! it make sense if you want to change to the main game and firefight!

Its that simple!

The maps on the second disk get copied to your hard drive so you will keep them if you rent the game. How else would you play the maps from Halo 3?
No, they don't. what happens is you play from Disk 2.

I was merely pointing the flaw in the plan of how switching to the Halo 3 disk is faster than switching to the ODST second disk for matchmaking. But, i am pretty sure that bungie has stated that all of the multiplayer components are on the second disk, i shall scour the updates again to be sure though.

Let me explain. Halo 3's Matchmaking and all maps are on ODST Disk 2. To play MMP2 you must have disk 2. Disk one has Campaign and Firefight + Campaign Theater. Disk 2 Has H3 Maps, MM, Forge, and Theater for Forge/Customs/MM. Halo 3 will be used for Halo 3 Campaign.

I am too, if i am wrong then fair take, but I am reading the xbox site and it does not say once that anything but the maps are on the 2nd cd. Please show me, i will be happy to say i am wrong!

Ok where does it say whats on the cd? I am guessing that you mean the below bit!

In another interview with a number of different gaming sources, they revealed key information about the game: ODST will be on a standalone disk, it will "include some new multiplayer maps, some of which will be a part of the Mythic Map Pack," and it will run on the Halo 3 engine. Bungie has also stated that it will be compatible with Halo 3 multiplayer, provided they have the Mythic Map Pack and ODST. Forge, Saved films, and Screenshots will be making a comeback.[9]

Look in the Q and A in this update.

  • 06.12.2009 11:51 AM PDT

僕を判断しないでください。

seeing how nobody has cleared this up in this thread yet.... the Halo Reach beta is not accessed through a code. it is accessed through the Halo3 ODST disc 1

the disc 2 will have all of the Halo3 multiplayer maps and it will also have matchmaking, customs, forge, and probably theater. it will not include the Halo3 campaign

Never mind, read the Q and A in the update. It says MM is on disk 2.

Ok maybe i am dumb, or misreading it but I am guessing that you want me to read this part below

Q. What's up with the two discs for Halo 3: ODST? I'm confused. Explain how the two discs work, please.

Forget it!!! I dont think we will know till it comes out and we will see!

But again that part does not say anything about the matchmaking or forge!!!
for the second disk to be fully compatible with the Halo 3 disk, it has to have all of the MM and Forge abilities. Get it? Got it? good
