Halo 3 possibly on two discs?

who really cares if it comes on an extra disc - it is such a ridiculous arguement to suggest that an extra disc means this game will be badvalakos

I don;t think anyone was saying it will be why the game is bad.  Its just showing a trend that may be starting.

Yes, because its bonus features, multiple discs for Halo 3 won;t be a killer.  But what happens when the extra discs start holding more important content?

How lame is it that you have to deal with multiple discs or take up more HDD space? Doesn;t having more discs (ones without any extra scratch protection) open the door for at least one disc to be ruined by scratches?

Why have multiple discs when you can have it all on one?

It's not worth 200$ not to swap a disc every once in a while and I swap games all day long never had any scratches.

 What do you cows do when you want to play a different game, huff and puff and roll your eyes that you have to get up to swap a game, God forbid you have to get up :roll:

It's really not that big of deal as you guys try to make it seem.

Please read all my posts in this thread before trying to debate with me.  Thanks.

Fine I have. It seems as though you want props to what Blu-Ray offers. But the benefits are so weak the cost out weighs the benefits. Swaping disks come on. Not to mention the extremely low % of games that will need swapping. I'm sorry no props here.

  Wouldn't you rather have more ram a faster drive or a cheaper price?

Probably the biggest game of 2007 will be Halo 3 for the Xbox 360. Gamers have been waiting for this sequel since Halo 2 came out in 2004 on the original Xbox. Bungie finally announced the releasedate last month: September 26. We've all had a chance to play the Halo 3 beta but the singleplayer of Halo 3 is still a big mystery.

Today Microsoft released the official boxarts of both the Normal Edition, Special Edition and the Legendary Edition. When you look at the Special Edition box tough, you'll notice three separate discs: Game Disc One, Game Disc Two and Bonus Features. Does this mean Halo 3 will be on two discs?

Nothing official on this but the picture surely says enough. It could be a mistake or the singleplayer and multiplayer are put on separate discs or something. Check the picture out below and jump to your own conclusions, but it looks like Halo 3 will be on two discs.

if true, I feel sorry for lemmings.

I feel sorry for you loyal cows who don't see just how wonderful the 360 is because you can't look past the lack of a HD medium.  :|  HD disc provide very little advantage to the gaming industry when compared to movies.  Name for me ONE game that would truely suffer and lose it's appeal just because you'd have to change a disc once or twice throughout the game?

what a silly question to pose to a cow. Don't you know that they only believe what Sony tells them? They were told that BR is the future of gaming so naturally they buy into that crap. If sony told them that the PS3 could do their taxes and find them extras that they could claim in one millisecond, they'd buy into that garbage as well.

If there's one thing system wars has taught us, it's that cows can't think for themselves. They solely depend on their leaders to tell them what to believe. It's kinda like scientology. :P

I'm pretty sure those two discs are extras. Halo was never a huge game.BigDaddyPOLO

The discs say Game Disc 1, Game Disc 2, and Bonus Features.

Just because many PS 1 games were 2 discs+ that doesn't mean we should go back to that.

Anyways, if it is a disc for single player and a disc for online then it's fine, a bit annoying but not a big deal.

WOW!!! You keep your games in a safe?  Mmmm hmmmmm.  I'm not sure what to say to that.

 I guess none of you lemmings rent games.  I'm sure rentals have no bearing on the gaming industry.  I'm sure games with multiple discs will go real smooth in a rental atmosphere.

I didn't say that. All I say is that multiple disc is an old and unconvenient feature and it's not ''nice'' to bring it back. It's not a huge deal either.

Then what's the big deal. Why are people saying others are owned for merely changing a disc?  

Umm, have any of you thought it would be two disks of extra features.

I think dvd disk swapping was not a big deal in the past with ps2 and xbox but these days it is kind of laughable.GermanShepard06

Disc chaning isn't a big deal now either unless your a Sony fanboy. Go figure :roll:

I've heard of sheep complaining about the possibility of Wii online and the friend codes but never have I heard a lemming complain about disc changing. Why? Because its not a big deal. RE4 was a two disc GOTY. Man two Disc really held it back. Especially when it could have been done on one disc on PS2 :roll:

o i might come on 2 discs....i fail to see how this is a negative its not like i havent changed a cd before.

My 360 is near me when i play so if it says "please insert disk 2" ill just eject it and pop in disk 2 whats so bad about that?

Well it's defenetly something that's not possitive so they using it agains the game, again I agree it's not a huge deal when it comes to gameplay.

Are you serious on rental replacements and responsibility?  Have you never gone to a video rental store, rented a game, got it home, and it was scratched?  This is very common.  And this is even more of a pain in the butt when you use these new online rental places.

redstormrisen

A demo is free and gives you an idea if you want to spend dollar 1 on it.  Rentals are a substitute for purchase.  Your argument is like saying taking a car on a test drive and renting a car are the same.  They're not.

On a demo/test drive you are limited in what you can do with the product.  You can only go around a block or two.  With a rental you can go anywhere you want.  you just have the car/game for a limited time and you do not own it.  But enough of explaining this elementary stuff for you.

I'll repeat myself for the lemmings.  More discs opens the door for more problems.  Game rentals will be a hard thing to handle when a game has multiple discs.

Ive got it, you know with Halo 2 you could either download or buy the new maps? I think the collectors edition will have extra content such as maps! and to make sure its only the Collectors edition who get it they've put it on the disc, I mean what company would want to switch from producing the normal Halo 3 and the collectors with added content when you can produce both at the same time and put the content discs with the Collectors and Legendary sets!

My bad I literally completed forgot the point of rentals. No joke I always rented to buy not to play an actual game. I see its different for everyone else. If a game gets scratched bring it back and get an unscratched game. You act like a PS3 game or a Wii rental can't be scratched either. The rental issue doens't only affect 360.
