Halo 4 Multiplayer Requires 8GB of Storage Space

Posted on Tuesday, July 3 @ 07:39:24 Eastern by Alex_Osborn

If you're planning on picking up Halo 4 when it launches this November - and if you own an Xbox 360, why wouldn't you? - it looks like you may need to do a bit of spring summer cleaning on that hard drive of yours, as the game's multiplayer will require that you have 8GB of free storage space.

Microsoft made the announcement on Xbox.com, saying: “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.”

Those of you who were hoping to get away with just the 4GB model, I'm sorry but you'll have to upgrade if you want to get in on the multiplayer. With a total of 10 multiplayer maps ready to go at launch, as well as new Spec Ops content coming every couple of weeks, there will be plenty of Halo gaming goodness to make the hard drive purchase worth your while.

    That's pretty lame considering there are people out there who play Halo, CoD and the like on the 4gb model because of the price. At least they offer the 8GB flash drive alternative, even though it'll be more money to shell out on top of the game just to play that single game's multiplayer. If it was an optional install then I'd understand, but it sounds like some Halo players are going to be hosed.

    I'm sure it's going to help improve the multiplayer experience with not much lag etc. It would be nice if they mentioned it'll run on dedicated servers. Also, I have 250 GB HDD for my ol' Xbox 360. Its the white arcade edition. I have had it for 2 years and still going strong. I only have 185 GB left, so I'm ready!
