I remember Bungie said not to install Halo 3, because all it did was increase load times. Something about how Halo 3 came out before Microsoft had this feature available, so it was never built into it.

Is this still the case for ODST? What about the Halo 3 Multiplayer disk that comes with ODST?

You can install the ODST campaign disc, as the game was optimized for hard drive installation. However, since the Halo 3 Mythic disc is essentially Halo 3, you shouldn't install the multiplayer disc - otherwise, you may experience much longer load times in matchmaking.
