Halo 4 won’t require disc-swapping – official install specifications revealed

During today’s official live stream on 343’s website, the developers revealed the official install size for Halo 4.

The game – which will ship with two discs – will require a second disc install size of 8GB, not too incredibly large. You can install it on either the Xbox 360 hard drive or on a flash drive, and, once installed, there’s no need for swapping discs.

And that’s very, very good news. Having the multiplayer pull from the hard drive can only be a good thing – personally, Halo: Reach struggled with lag at certain times regardless of my internet connection, so here’s hoping that Halo 4 will resolve that problem.
