The epic continuation of the Halo series is due in November and, according to 343 Studios, it's almost done -- but fans of the series may have to clean off their hard drives to get the full experience.

The game will require an 8GB install to experience the full multiplayer, which includes your traditional PvP matches, called War Games, and a new mode, called Spartan Ops. The latter mode features a co-op mode that will be be given new episodes each week. The full install size has not been revealed, but it is recommended that players completely install the game to get the full experience.

I've got the space!
by Chris Larios Tuesday, July 03, 2012 at 10:55 AM

Thats a whole lot of storage space thats needed for just online play. This may be a problem for alot of 360 owners. Even though alot of us have the 60gb or 120gb hard drive, there are still plenty of people that have the smaller hard drives. So I recognize that alot of the people that still have the 20gb hard drive or smaller are in waist high whale crap. I have no idea what they're all gona do. If you have the 20gb one smaller, you're either gona have to clean out most of your hard drive, or just go buy a new one. Tough break guys.

Time to clean the hard drive. wow
by Whytmexican Tuesday, July 03, 2012 at 10:59 AM

***. not everybody has new 360's with huge hard drives. guess i need to make room
by BloodShed269 Tuesday, July 03, 2012 at 10:59 AM

I guess I need to upgrade from my 15GB...
by System of a Down Tuesday, July 03, 2012 at 11:00 AM

Well, I have a 250GB so I would've installed it anyway.

Damn
by hiromu656 Tuesday, July 03, 2012 at 11:02 AM

guess i gotta buy a new hard drive
by YodaUnleashed Tuesday, July 03, 2012 at 11:02 AM

So you can't play the game without 8GB worth of free space, that seems a bit strange.
by dagnastyep Tuesday, July 03, 2012 at 11:07 AM

I wonder if it's just for high res textures like BF3?
by Hybrid17 Tuesday, July 03, 2012 at 11:09 AM

Not the best news of the day
by pUNKxINxDRublic Tuesday, July 03, 2012 at 11:10 AM

I've got tons of space to fill! Make it 20 gig for all I care! Pack in the goods!!!
by Joseph Cassou Tuesday, July 03, 2012 at 11:14 AM

Um, okay? Is this really a problem for anyone out there? Even if you're keeping every save-file from each game that you play, so long as you don't keep the games themselves saved to your hard drive when you aren't playing them, you should be fine. If there is an actual worry of individuals not having the space to install, I would love to see the percentages of that group versus those that are in the clear; methinks that those put out by this announcement would be in the minority. In any case, I'm fine and looking forward to playing "combat dress-up" with my Spartan IV. I love customization.
by AceOfSpades Tuesday, July 03, 2012 at 11:18 AM

I've only got 28GB left of my 120GB HD, memory is easy enough to use up without having to use 8GB on installing one game.
by atlaw01 Tuesday, July 03, 2012 at 11:20 AM

I've got 270 GB left! B*tch, please.
by Random Ock Tuesday, July 03, 2012 at 11:21 AM

That seems like a lot of space for multiplayer. Sucks to have an older model Xbox 360, but at least they really letting us know 5 months a head of time.
by Cloud 9 Tuesday, July 03, 2012 at 11:22 AM

That's a lot of bs. If I understand that correctly, you are not recieving the whole game on the disc. Or does this download only mean those dlc releases?
by Water Polo Champ Tuesday, July 03, 2012 at 11:28 AM

Not buying anything in the marketplace pays off!
by jktmowell Tuesday, July 03, 2012 at 11:30 AM

Better games equal more hard drive!
by Brandon Tuesday, July 03, 2012 at 11:31 AM

I'm glad not every game is like this.
