If u shouldnt install the second disc then is putting the second disc in an xbox the only way to play on the 3 new maps coming out with odst?

The second disc will actually load slower if it is installed. The second disc will be your "gateway" to Halo 3's Multiplayer. If you want to play campaign on Halo 3, you'll need to swap (citation needed).

Do you mean copy to your hard drive when you say install? If so, its still similar to the original Halo 3 disc, and they didn't start making the 'copy' capability on Xbox discs the time when Halo 3 came out. Seeing as you shouldn't copy your Halo 3 disc, you shouldn't copy your Halo 3 ODST disc.

Do NOT send me Recruitment Letters, doing so will get you blocked faster than you can say "Huh?"

yes, unless you buy the maps, again.

i presume the second ODST disc will come with a link to download the new maps, after you have done that you will be able to play the new maps in multiplayer on both the second ODST disc and Halo 3. After a while they will most likely put the new maps on marketplace so you dont have to buy ODST to play them. Overall then you shouldnt installl the second ODST disc to your hard drive for the same reason as the Halo 3 disc...it makes it run slower,

NXE installs require that you have the disc in the tray to access the content, so you couldn't install the secondary disc and access them from your original copy of Halo 3 anyway. Good thing there's no need to. Everything you need to play Halo 3 MP is on the second disc.

Halo 3: ODST will come with a second disc that contains Halo 3's multiplayer.
