I think what he meant was that if you wanted to install it, you could install ODST. If you guys remember, the way that Halo 3 works makes it less efficient to install to your hard drive, what I think he's saying is that ODST fixes this problem, while the Halo3 Multiplayer Disc still utilizes the old code, unfixed.

That's my stab at it. Still waiting to hear about the "aggro Brute Chieftains" and whether that means what I think it means...

The New Xbox Experience allows you to install games to your hard drive to reduce loading times and quiet the noise coming from the disc tray. Halo 3 was built with the lack of hard drive across all hardware SKU's in mind, and so if you install it, it actually runs a bit slower. So, we recommend you don't install it.

Our guys were able to address this issue with ODST, so if you want to install it, it'll work great. But since the second disc - Halo 3: Mythic - is for all intents and purposes the same Halo 3 you're likely playing now, it's not able to benefit from the install feature.

Loose talk is noose talk.

I got a question. Will Halo 3: Mythic come with a theater mode, forge mode, etc., or will we have to resort back to the Halo 3 disc for that?

You guys have really outdone yourselves with ODST.
I'm taking the day off of work for this one.

Keep the sexy coming.

Awesome update this week! Bonus round sounds like crazy fun! Grunt Birthday Party Skull never looked so good. :D

All the maps are playable from the Halo 3: Mythic disc. The three additional maps aren't DLC. You play 'em (and every other multiplayer map) right from the cd.

Also, it would be a shame if you didn't check out ODST's campaign and Firefight. Give 'em a spin.

Comes with all the same multiplayer functionality you'll find on the original Halo 3 disc. If you have both Halo 3 and Halo 3: Mythic, the only reason you'll need to go back to the original is when you feel like taking the Halo 3 campaign for a spin.

That would be a big shame if you bought' ODST just for the mythic maps. lol

Hey Urk, when ODST is released to the public, and or retail Stores, want to play some FireFlight with me? If so you can message me or whatever is easyiest and dosn't waste any of your working time, although I like to goof off, so I still get paid when no one is looking I don't do really anything. lol

Exalted is considered "the highest" because you can't get any bans or warnings of any kind for quite a long time, which is harder than just being a member for a long time.

Awesome! We've been yearning for details like that!

Thanks for the BWU, Urk.

Great read, and I can't wait for those upcoming Vidocs soon.

If there is any power to be found, it's within yourself, not your weapon.

Hey, why am I not mentioned on that list of names responsible for the creation of Firefight? Until I started making threads and yelling at you people to put firefight in, and...uh...sent certain e-mails to various MS shareholders that...er...mentioned what kind of profit they'd be missing if you didn't...*cough*

Yeah, sorry about that. Not sure what they did to you guys, but anyway...

Until I did all of that, Bungie's official position on a Halo version of Horde mode was little more than a one liner: "There will be no Horde mode in ODST".

I'm not saying I developed the thing. Just give credit where credit is due, kiddies.

1.They don't care about your challenge!

2.You can't get recon for beatting any employee unless it is said on here or by Bungie employee (That dosn't apply to people who say "Hey guys I have recon check my file share.") That is faulty it is modded!

Don't mean to be rude, but your parents should have picked out a better name.

Sorry. That was from something. Did you read it? I did. It was good.

Does anyone know if halo odst multiplayer online is just spartans and elites? I know firefight mode is only one where you play as odst online. I like to play something other than super soldier and the same alien online. Halo should make a Game thats nothing but multiplayer with you able to play all human, covenant, and flood types. In addition making your own map from scratch like in farcry, tired of waiting for maps coming out and having to pay for them sometimes. Love to play ODAt marine and tear up teh battlefield with friends cussing up a storm since their spartan or elite defeated by someone without enhancements or shields. ^^ Also able to aim your weapon like in most shooters be welcome.

Yeah I mean that like tells your Personal Info!

First & Last Name, Age, etc. If I were you I would consider changeing your gamertag so there isn't any trouble. I'm not trying to sound rude ethier, but really it is pretty bad for the public to see.

wuzap pplz lolol
also, c0nz through Bungie Day

wow, this update made me notice that "drop into firefight" page, and i'm so damn happy now
i've been wondering if splitscreen would still be possible, because the only thing i've read everywhere was XBL and System Link, and then..
if you don't have four Xbox 360s and televisions at your disposal, two-player splitscreen is still in full effect
thx for that, bungie!
custom armor permutations in firefight.. amagawd!
good thing i pre-ordered ODST at gamestop..
and the update.. i'm really looking forward to everything!

So.. Installing The Disc Onto The Hard Drive Makes The Maps Load Alot Faster And Reduces Noise?
