Ron Artest on personal goals left in the NBA.

Q:"NOW THAT YOU'VE WON A TITLE, DO YOU STILL HAVE ANY PERSONAL GOALS IN THE NBA?"

A:"I would love to get back to first-team All-Defense. I own defense. It's like my corporation. I'm the CEO and everyone else is just an employee. The fans and players know I belong. When you need a stop, who you going to call? Not the goddamn Ghostbusters, I'll tell you that. You call me."

I don't know if this question has been asked or answered, but will ODST be optimized to run off the disk like Halo 3, or has Bungie taken this into account when making ODST? Can someone with an accurate, or an estimate answer? Halo is the only game I really play and now I am starting to fear for my 360.

Of course it CAN be installed. But will loading times take longer like Bungie said it would for Halo 3?

Halo 3: ODST Disc 1, the ODST campaign/firefight is good to go for download to the HDD. The Halo 3: Mythic Disc 2, the Halo 3 Matchmaking, stills has the same issues as your current Halo 3 disc has when installed to the HDD.

Simple text: disc one, yes; disc two, no.

Installing Halo 3 to the HD doesn't slow down load times. It lags the multiplayer. But firefight might get laggy if you install it and play with a friend on LIVE, but the campaign will run fine and faster. The matchmaking disc on the other hand you probably shouldn't install since that causes problems.

You can, and it will probably run fine. Loading times might be slower but if you can live with that your fine.

Here’s what Luke had to say about the differences in treatment between the Spartans and Elites in Reach:

“Instead of piece-by-piece customization like the Spartans, Elite customization is a full model swap with models selected from the various Elite classes appearing throughout the Campaign. There are all kinds of reasons for this, not the least of which is our continued emphasis on the Spartan as your identity in Reach.”

It does not make multiplayer lag. It increases load time, and makes matchmaking take a lot longer to get into a game.
