That's one big game
Assassin's Creed III is going to be a big game, and by "big," we mean "two disc" levels of big. Ubisoft has confirmed that the Xbox 360 version of Assassin's Creed III will be broken down into two discs, and we're already pretty impressed by that.
One disc will reportedly contain the single-player content, pushing multiplayer onto the second disc. Assassin's Creed III mission director Philippe Bergeron remarked, "This time around, we're cracking at the seams. We have two disks on Xbox."
For those not aware, the Xbox 360 still utilizes DVDs, which are inferior to the PS3's Blu-ray format and the Wii U's 25GB propriety media in terms of storage capacity. No word yet on whether the PC version will also be on multiple discs.
Thanks for the tip, Dragoon!

Any 360 users have any thoughts on this? What do PC and PS3 gamers think about it?
I hate having to swap disc during gaming but it's a great idea the way they did it with Single player contents in one and MP in another.

I hope they put the space to good use since both modes have their own disk, I remember with Tales of Symphonia the only thing on disk two was the grade shop.
