I think that Halo 3 should be more than one disk so that you can put more stuff into it such as one disk for multiplayer and one for campaign or just two disks for everything. wat u guys think?

How about no? Even Oblivion doesn't take up an entire DVD(mainly because of the lack of pre-rendered cutscenes). Having one disc for campaign and one for mulitplayer would just be a pain. I don't want to have to change discs just to play one of them.

Thats sort of retarted... Why would you want to go through the hassle of having 2 discs and switching discs all the time. If your playing campaign and say "I want to play some MP" you gotta go get another disc, load everything all over again, connect all over again, and so on. Its just not convenient. Stupid too.

thats technically wrong, both use a DVD with 9 gigs, but the original xbox games didnt take up more than 3-4 gigs, 360 games are toppiong off at around 4-5 gigs, even with HD and stuff because devs are finding better ways to compress files on there. theres no need, i predict H3 will take up 6.5 gigs, thats just me, and thats why bluray is useless for games

They didn't tell us what it was it could have been anything. Frankie gets scared easy incase you didn't know.

For all of you lazy asses out there, I have one thing to say. Shut up. This is a good idea, and just cause you're too lazy to press a button and switch disks, don't flame this guy. Have you ever played Gran Turismo 2 for PS1? It was an amazing game and it had 2 disks.

Yes, there should. I dont care if it is about 70 or 80 bucks for 3 disks. The game needs to have a good amount of content. At least not all the games are worth that much, and i can spare it for 1 game.

Besides, 1 disc for campaign, 1 disc for MP, and 1 disc for Map editing and Video making would be wonderful.

If it can all be fitted on one disc. There is no need to put it on more discs than nessecarry. That's like saying "My computer can hold my new game, but I'll buy an off-board hard drive and put it on there just for the sake of it."

Perhaps a bad analogy, but...

Only if they needed to but I doubt they will split it into two disks.

actually halo 2 is 7.3 gigs (very huge) plus about .2 for the maptacular pack,with standard xbox dvds having 8 gigs and 360 disks (using bluray and multiple layers) have about 15 gigs i would be dissapointed if halo 3 isnt at least 13 gigs.so having 2 disks would be a good idea but unnecessary.


[edit] i just checked and oblivion is 8.7 gigs.

i dont think its a good idea first off the Special Edition will probaly have 2 disc and it will cost more just because the extra disc and like oblivion that doesnt have 2 disc and it took 4 years to make
