When halo:ODST comes out it will have the odst campaign and firefight on one disc and halo 3 multiplayer with new maps on the second.

This may be a question that may have to wait until just before release, but my question is when ODST is released and I get around to checking out the new maps will they be on the disc for download, or will they simply play off the disc.

The reason I ask is that halo 2 had some problems which they fixed in 3 with storing the new maps and matchmaking which resulted in map selection in matchmaking becoming redundant. They did have this problem, something to do with standoff when the first map pack was released.

I would like to have a stand alone multiplayer disc without having the maps stored on a hard drive, simply because it makes me uneasy but that's probably just me.

if knowledge is power and power corrupts, isn't knowledge therefore dangerous?

simply play off the disc.

I actually had a friend of mine that works for gamestop tell me that from the way microsoft made it sound is that it was a download disk with the old maps on the disk as well.

History shows It's worse when they are half on the hard drive and half on the disk because the hard drive maps show up more than disk maps because sometimes the people you see online have a dirty/damaged disk. I like to replace the disk every 6 months/ 1 year.

its all the maps on the second disk so you play multiplayer straight off of it

May I have some kinda link showing that? That seems to be what I can recall about the second disk being revealed to do, but they never seemed to talk about if the map packs were downloaded or not and I am getting some skepticism from my long time friends I play halo with.
