Bungie on NXE, Halo 3's Longer Load Times
I installed Halo 3 and found that the first load time when you continue a campain, is WAY faster when running on the HDD. Didnt notice any other changes, will keep it sence my Xbox is nice and quiet :)
"Makes the option pointless then no?"for halo 3 yes but most other games no, there are more games then halo 3 on 360.
"burjeffton said:I still play a little. =("Halo is SOOOOO 2007."Pretty much. Or more accurately for me, Halo was sooo about 5 days after it launched, and then put away forever.
"
Big deal. Most games aren't even noticably faster anyway. And its not like load times were super fast to begin with. You'll live. The BIG advantage of Disc free play is the noise. And besides, I assure you any games coming out now, with this in mind, will work much better. Wait to judge the feature till people actually use it. ie, don't judge HD TV's in general on a 32" 720p plasma, you need to check out 1080pand atleast 42"
Wait a second... Halo 3 sure as hell isn't the only game to use a cache on your HD...
DUN DUN DUHHH!

It isn't.
However, it probably does it the best.
Bungie is rather damn good about smart coding if reading their powerpoints is any indication.
They not only cache the map data, but also sound and stuff like that.
"Thats because Halo 3 sucks"
Wouldn't it be because Halo rocks to the max?
How is this not a compliment to the game?
"Who still plays Halo 3?"
So you only play games while the hype is on them? Repeating and following the crowd... but maybe that is not the case.
Whats wrong with playing good games or games that you like?
I still play Halo 1 *blush* :)
I want to know more about this 'utility partition'. Is that why I can't get anywhere near 20gb out of my hard drive?
"Who still plays Halo 3?"around 600-700 thousand people a day. also you do realize the peaks have dropped from 300.000 players at one time to around 250-270.000 players depiste gears 2, fable 2, fallout, nuts and bolts etc etc? the same cannot be said for other games
oh and i installed halo... my disk has a crack going from the inside so it's THE SMART THING TO DO. and smugdarkloser is absolutely correct about them cacheing the sound effects - before when i didn't have a hard drive all the sound effects were more... basic somehow, as if they had less layers. very interesting stuff lol
I was a bit curious as to wether installing the game was that bad, so I decided to test it out. What I found was ever 1/3 times when I attempted to start a multilplayer match, it would either say "One or more players does not have the required maps for this playlist" (I own all the H3 DLC) or "Could not load information form XBL". Right after, I uninstalled the game, and everything worked beautifully. Any one else try?
