ODST: To install or not to install?

I know Halo 3 suffers from increased load times when installed to the hard drive. Does ODST suffer from the same problem or did Bungie work around it?

The theory is that since it came out after the install update that Bungie may have had time to work some support in. I played through the game installed and didn't notice any significant load times, so you should be fine.

I'm pretty sure it loads faster when installed (the campaign disc anyway).

It's optimized for install. So go for it.
