A message from Bungie back in the update said that Halo 3 was meant to be played with the disc and no 1 knows what could happen if you installed it. i dont remember it all bad memory x(

Check out the group, Planet Reach and talk about Bungie's next game without the annoyance of the public forum. Oh and it's nice there too.

You thought you had lag, it took Jesus 3 days to re-spawn.

It would be slower than if you didn't.

I would assume installing the ODST disk would be fine..
But the Halo 3 Multiplayer should NOT be installed what-so-ever.

The game will load slower. But that's about it. Its not like your Xbox would explodd or something.

Admin of Coup D Bungie

PM me any Coup questions you have.

So let me get this straight:

If i want to play the new maps, I would have to insert that disc, but then if I want to play Campaign for Halo 3, I would have to insert the Halo 3 disc? Why not just give a code to the MMP like they did for Halo Wars. I think that would be simpler.

Look! A distraction!

Because Bungie doesn't work that way. I would think the maps would be made available on the XBL Marketplace for people who haven't purchased the game, especially once the maps become required content for matchmaking.

As for installing, the reason Halo 3 would be slower is that all the maps are still loaded off the disc regardless of if it's installed (don't ask me why, I'm just vaguely recalling what was said by Bungie). I think this is so that custom map layouts can be applied to the default one (loaded off the disc) without permanently overwriting the default layout. (which could happen if it's saved to the HDD)

Load times slow down a bit. Nothing major.

More so because at the time, installing to the HDD wasn't a possibility, and Xbox 360 games must be written to function without an HDD.

And installing the map will not have customs override the default unless specifically stated to.

Halo 3: ODST: Do Install
Halo 3: Mythic: Don't Install

P.s. The secondary disk is just another Halo 3 game, except a minor difference, like the one that was shown in PAX' 08 (Backgrounds, music, etcs).
