Halo 4 multiplayer requires 8GB hard disk space
Have a 4GB Xbox 360? Unfortunately, you won't be able to play Halo 4 multiplayer without upgrading your system.
Unlike the original Xbox, the 360 doesn't require a hard drive. Microsoft has sold millions of systems sans storage, and millions more with tiny 4GB drives. Most recently, the company started selling the 4GB system for only $99--with a required subscription fee. Unfortunately, anyone owning these consoles will have to upgrade if they want to jump into Halo 4's multiplayer mode.
Microsoft has confirmed that you'll need 8GB of space to jump into 343's online offering. From the official Xbox website:
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. For Xbox 360 4GB, Arcade and Core consoles, the Xbox 360 Hard Drive is sold separately.
Hard drives for the Xbox 360 retail for around $100 for 250GB of storage or more. The official Xbox 360-branded 8GB USB stick retails for $35--however, non-branded ones can go for significantly less.

Both are necessary upgrades in order to run certain games or access features that may be otherwise unsupported.

Wow..isn't the $99 contract xbox 4gb? Seems like a good way to screw over anyone who bought that thing and are locked into the two year agreement.
-
you can add a HD after the fact or use a USB drive specifically for this game
-
You can buy one, and it's not a big deal really, but it's strange to have a new $99 console package and be releasing the lastest flagship first party game that doesn't work entirely on that product.
People rage about day one DLC, but not new hardware that requires additional purchases to play a new first party title? I think the difference is that many of us already have the right specs, and therefore don't care. But to me, how shitty or unfair an idea is shouldn't be dependent on my own situation.

Older model HDDs are very cheap and can easily be gutted to fit inside the newer models. Getting a 20GB hdd from the older models runs for no more than $30-$40 (if even that).
Simple use of a screw driver can open the casing to extract the HDD which fits right into the HDD slot in the newer models. It's almost as easy as inserting an old game cartridge.-

you dont need a torx. A small flat head that costs $1.50 will work.

no one who buys a $99 xbox will have tat skill. im not saying its not retarded for 90% of xbox owners. just that you actually dont need a torx to open the old drives. and you dont need a hammer either.
Really, they should just stop charging ridiculous prices for the hard drives. Especially since flag ship titles like halo will now require so much disk space. -
Really, my comment was PSA to that 90% demographic.

that actually does work. the only down side is that you cant play original xbox games without a real microsoft drive. most people wont care though

Yea I was like you thinking sure a simple $10 sollution buy a 16gb Sans-disk one from amazon, just to format it and not get the Microsoft logo in the format area. That means something was below standards, which later I found out how bad my write speeds were on my particular Sans-disk 16gb flash drive (found this out when taking forever trying to copy arcade games to the stick!). IMO better off buying a used 120gb hdd from gamestop for $40, seems very frustrating finding out what the read write speeds are on these drives.
Next gen hopefully they'll just let us install our own computer hard drives IMO that would be better then all the memory problems Microsoft has created with this system.

I'm glad to hear this because it's an acknowledgement of the 360's hardware limitations and also pushing the boundries that 360 games have been constrained by. Xbox 720 almost confirmed for 2013 IMO!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAa
THERE YOU GO
Another microsmelly live ripoff

Now all the need to do is to make a requirement of 4 GB for Co-Op , ... etc etc

I know! I was waiting for him to show up, and he didn't dissapoint!
Can we keep him as resident Nintendo-troll? Can we? Pleeeeaaaase?

actually the real reason is the faster load speed from HDD than Disc, no idea if this is a required thing in order to play it normally,

upscaling can't to a lot
x360 is simply ancient old tech ...
