Will deleting the installed version of this game delete all data, files, campaign/MM progress for all of my Xbox LIVE profile?

Mmm... good question.
I don't think so, no. Progress such as that is, I think, stored on your profile itself. Though campaign progress gets a file of its own. I can't be sure, never having tried it myself, but I would hazard a guess at you being fine.

I disagree. I say "Better safe than sorry." If you're trying to delete it so you can get memory for Reach on your hard drive, then just cut some corners and delete other things.

no. at least it shouldn't. the installed version is only help read it faster i think. but just in case delete someting else to try to make room.

I deleted everything but Halo Waypoint and Halo 3 from my Hard Drive files. There is NOTHING else to delete.

Too bad Bungie probably doesn't even LOOK at this forum. They would have the correct answer, whatever it is. I'm getting different answers "better safe then sorry don't delete it" and "Do it you will be OK".

Instinct tells me it would be ok because I have multiple accounts on my xbox from family members and all our game progress is tracked separately by each individual account, not by whether a game is installed on the hard drive or not.

I can't tell you for sure but I think it would be ok to remove the game from your hard drive and not lose saved game progress.

Important

If you really want to be sure you should ask on the xbox.com forums or call xbox support as this really is more of an issue with them.

And no, I'm not trying to do the xbox.com meme lol.

I also maintain that Chrome is weaksauce, and IE9 is fast and works very well

It won't. Go to your HDD and view all of the Halo 3 files. You should notice that there is a file for each and every custom item you have as well as a file for each gamertag that has played Halo 3 on your console. You will also notice the Halo 3 game file itself, and that is the one you want to delete.

That is if you are talking about the game being installed from the disk and not from the XBL Marketplace though... I assume the Marketplace version is exactly the same so all of the files should still be seperate.

If you want to be 100% safe then copy the files you want to keep safe on to a USB drive before deleting the Halo 3 game file.

Again, this really is a Microsoft issue and you should call their help line. 1-800-4my-xbox.

Just deleted Waypoint and checked Xbox.com, they had nothing for this sort of problem.
