What is the benefit of installing a game onto your hard drive then? I thought it said on the Halo3 box "optimised for hard drive" or something like that...Installing a game to your hard drive will make it load faster, won't damage your disc from much spinning, and means your X-Box will run quieter.
This only applies to games released after the NXE, as they are optimised for HDD download, which means they are designed to run faster from the HDD. Halo 3, being well before the NXE, will not run faster from the Hard Drive due to the way it loads information.
If it does say "optimised for Hard Drive" on the box, chances are it means the game will run better if you have a Hard Drive compared to on an Arcade X-Box (without Hard Drive) again due to the way the game loads it's information.
The first disk of ODST (Campaign and Firefight) will be optimised for installation to the Hard Drive, as it's released after the NXE. However, the Halo 3 Multiplayer on the second disc is an exact copy of the original game, and hence probably not optimised to be installed to the HDD.
All this is based on stuff that I've read and the way I've interpreted it, so likely wrong in places. Hope it helps though!
