Halo 3 possibly on two discs?

[QUOTE="dubvisions"]

[QUOTE="Zero-G_basic"][QUOTE="GermanShepard06"]

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.Zero-G_basic

Yea like the PS3 not having rumble and custom soundtracks.

Or how 360 has no motion sensing.  What does the 360 have in hardware that allows it to have custom soundtracks that the PS3 doesn;t?  Nothing.  Its just a matter of an update, baby.

you just showed your ignorance.  My question on PS3 hardware was a rhetorical one.  Do you know what that means?  It means there was no answer needed because there wasn;t one.  All PS3 needs to have custom soundtracks is a software update.

All 360 needs to play HD movies is a separate component you have to pay extra for.  And the only way for 360 to have games based on a high capacity disc is to convert a majority of the 360 owners.  Sounds like alot more work than just swapping discs.

It does concern me.  This anti-PS3 pro 360-wins-it-all is crap.  MS has shortcut their 360 owners and they don't even get it. 

Read all of the posts, sunshine.  Disc swapping is a small part of the issue.

Swapping discs is not an issue at all. You being stubborn is an issue.

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!martin_f

You have this "vision" on your 360 now?  All lemmings do?  Hmmmmm, i don;t think you're right.

As I said before, this doesn;t hurt Halo 3 if much at all.  It does show the start of a trend.

What happens when the extra disc isn;t just bonus content?

I don't see where you are going with this. We've made it clear we don't care to get up and change discs. It's not like this is the first generation we've had to do it.

i HOPE the game is on two discs!!! that would mean it's big , great and beautifull.danneswegman

I agree that's one thing cows are not looking at if the game is on two disc that must mean Halo3 will be a big game.

I didn't buy a X360 so i can sit there and watch movies on it. Also playing movie's on a taxes it more. I'd rather download it and watch it instead. Also i'm not forced to buy a seperate player to watch movies on. I got a dvd player that serves it's purpose.Zero-G_basic

Dude, stay with us here.  Multiple discs is just the start of seeing why DVD9 doesn;t work.  Nothing to do with movies.

What each version includes has already been released, we know that there is only 1 bonus content disc with the Collectors. The picture also plainly states Game Disc 1 and Game Disc 2.

First, there's a difference in seeing the same topics in a forum than seeing the same response in a thread.

And "3/4" of the platforms aren't PS3 or 360. They don;t handle the load the new gen does.

Hmm... multiple game discs? If it's seperate modes, I kind of thing it's a little unconvienent, because I'd have to load the next disc which is mode X when I was in the middle of playing mode Y and friend/family/etc comes over/messages me to play with him.

Whatever though, multiple discs never mean nothing more, especially with my 360 just a step away from the bed.

Wii, 360, and PC all use DVD9 hence 3/4 of the platforms.

i can guarantee you at the end of the X360's life cycle there will some mult-disc games. But it's not going to matter much just like last gen when ps2 had some games on 2 discs. So there goes your whole "debate" .Zero-G_basic

Last gen DVD9 had nothing to compete with. Now there's two formats that kick its butt in capacity.

ok list all the other reason having a game on multiple disks is so dratically terrible?Zero-G_basic

I have. Read my posts.

I'm saying that "most" platforms use DVD9 because that's all they need. 360 and PS3 may be a different story here soon.

PS3 will never need Blu-Ray. Hell it's so much like a PC I don't see why developers aren't using CDs and installing games on the HDD, oh wait Sony is pushing Blu-Ray down everyone's throats.

[QUOTE="dubvisions"]

[QUOTE="AdobeArtist"]How out of shape are you if you can't change a disc? :roll:oback

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?

a COW complaining about a game taking up more HDD space?!?!??!

ROFL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes the irony of that statement is too funny.thirstychainsaw

I wasn;t speaking for PS3 owners when I made the HDD comment. Didn't MS sell a core 360 system without a HDD? Yes. therefore devs cannot develope games with storing on the HDD in mind. Not without giving a cold shoulder to the core owners.

Core owners bought the core knowing that they wouldn;t be able to play certain games? I don;t think so. they may have known that going online or saving movies wouldn't happen but not to be cut out of certain games.

I think you're way off.

Most people will play the Single Player once or twice then put it away and not touch it for a year.....

So What is the big deal?

If its a situation where there's so much content that you either need multiple discs or have to use the HDD it is far from Oblivion.

OMG what a weak argument. It's more like a angry rant then a debate.

Rentals people rentals!!!! Thats where the issue will lie when more and more games use multiple discs.dubvisions

Smart people don't buy the core because it is a rip off, If you were stupid enough to buy the core, It is your fault.

Being Informed FTW

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.

SOURCE

if true, I feel sorry for lemmings.xxThyLordxx

next time, i would suggest not copying and pasting the whole story ;)

but maybe we're all wrong... ever thought of that? i wouldn't assume anything just yet, but wait for the game to come out until we say anything about that

Rentals people rentals!!!! Thats where the issue will lie when more and more games use multiple discs.dubvisions

Chances of a single game getting scratched are actually more probable then a multiple game disc being scratched. Since there is 50% less chance of scracting a multidisk game if there are two discs as opposed to one.

i love blu-ray i will have a full game and a full movie on 1 disk

next up sandbox gamesbefore you enter this city please swap disk :lol:
