Condolences to Xbox 360 owners without hard drive or 8GB USB drive
Microsoft has said that Halo 4 requires players to carry out an 8GB install on their Xbox 360s if they want to have access to the shooter's multiplayer component.
The company said an 8GB USB Flash Drive or an Xbox 360 Hard Drive will suffice in order to install Halo 4's multiplayer portion. The latter, though, is "highly recommended".
"At a minimum, you’ll need at least an 8GB USB Flash Drive or an Xbox 360 Hard Drive to play multiplayer mode in Halo 4. For an optimal experience playing with an Xbox 360 Hard Drive is highly recommended."
Halo 4's campaign, meanwhile, is nearing completion with developer 343 Industries confirming it can be played from "start to finish". The game itself is currently scheduled for a worldwide launch on November 6, 2012.

I already have a HD and USB stick full, and now I have to buy ANOTHER storage device just to play the multiplayer, wow
Now I gotta come up with f*cking $150+ to buy a 320 GB hard drive which I dont have
Reminds me of Reach and how folks who bought the new 4GB model realized they couldn't play it (and some other games) online.
2. Why is this why you love Playstation more? They don't have Halo.
I love playstation more for many reasons, one being not having to install games all the time. Xbox is number 2 for me.
I was thinking it might just be for the Spartan Ops missions? The first season of SpOps is free with the game, so it's basically a part of any Halo 4 purchase, except you have to download each episode. Maybe they're saying you need at least 8GB of storage for the full multiplayer experience, Spartan Ops included.
