yeh I wouldn't have thought it needed two discs because even oblivion didn't and that has to be the biggest game I ever did play.

dont be retarted, they dont make you switch disks during multiplayer, if they did no one would play, and it would be to complicated because if you did than everyone would have to. It would happen during campaign, not multiplayer.

Maybe game disc one is the single player and disc two is the multiplayer. That wouldn't be a big deal.

I'm sure it's an extras disc. I HIGHLY doubt they'd need to make an extra disc just for multiplayer.

It would be sweet if one disc was strictly multiplayer but I highly doubt that unless thecampaign is just so massive. But still I'm curious to see whats going on.

Yeah it's obvious the game is on two disks cause the bonus features are on a third disk. I couldn't care less if the game is on two disks and I think more and more 360 games will be on multiple disks as we get deeper into this generation. The only people who should care about this are fanboys who can no longer use the argument that DVD is enough for EVERY next gen. game.

Who cares about multiple disc games anyway. The games will be better for it. Instead of compressing everything down to one disc, the content will be able to breath on multiple discs. The quality of games will be much better. And besides, developers aren't stupid. They wouldn't make you have to change a disc at a critical point in a game. Maybe it will be good for all of us to get up off of our asses and walk to the console to change a disc.

Update: According to HBO, the second disc is not actually a game disc at all, but rather an "Xbox 360 executable," which will only run on an Xbox 360. What exactly this executable is, we're not sure. Apparently the verbiage on the DVD is preliminary and likely to change. Thanks to Matthew Mac for pointing this out. Bungie.net will have more information in the next weekly update.

Also, how could H3 possibly come on two discs while larger games like Mass Effect fit on one?

MS should've never said that, they should've just come out and said eventually 360 games will be on multiple disks. I personally don't care if a 360 game is on 2, 3, or 4 disks if it means better games. The only people who have a problem with this are fanboys who want to slam other systems by saying DVD is enough for all next gen. games....

Maybe the 360 executable disc is demos and other extra content. The explanation was that it was like one of those demo discs that comes with a gaming magazine. Only works in the console it's meant for. Remember how the original Halo had the Fusion Frenzy demo and some other game vids? Maybe they'll crank it up and throw a bunch of demos and other crap on that extra disc.

Why wouldn't that stuff be on the disk that say "bonus features"? So DVDs aren't big enough for bonus features to be on one disk either? No, I think it's just like it says, "game disk one", "game disk two" and "bonus features".

i could see Halo 3 being on 2 discs because i think it has more to do with the quality of cutscenes, graphics, etc. than the actual size of the game--hence the Resident Evil remake for the cube taking up 2 discs while larger games like Metroid & Mario only used one, i think that Blue Dragon game is actually supposed to be on 3 discs also, so maybe a lot more games will start using multiple discs.

If Halo 3 is on 2 discs just make it good Bungie, The second disc is probally just the extra content. Either way Halo on 1 disc or two discs I'll still get it.

this is a GREAT sign IMO it means the single player and multiplayer will be very beefy. Anyone who thinks this is bad is stupid :)

resident evil had 2 discs between one part of the campaign and the other part... and heck that game was awesome ... if halo did that only with one multiplayer and one campaign it might become better than what most think

I wouldn't really mind if it's on 2 discs really. It might be better. A massive campaign along with tons of maps for multiplayer.

There was a rumor a bit back that it may be a 1080p game, not sure if that has been dubunked or not ( and surley they would be braggin about it if it was true) but if it is true then maybe thats why there would be two discs, but maybe its just a really good long game.

Wow, go read Bungie.net's newspost. The image with the 'game disc 2' is inaccurate. that image shows the limited edition with the 2 discs it comes with (disc 1 = game, disc 2 = bonus stuff) AND the disc that comes with Legendary (the reasons why it's even there are unclear)

Check it out:
