Multiplayer In ‘Halo 4’ Not Possible Without 8 Gigs of Space

Players will need an Xbox 360 hard drive or a minimum 8 GB Xbox 360-compatible USB flash drive for “Halo 4” multiplayer gameplay. For an optimal experience, we recommend players use an Xbox 360 hard drive with at least 8 GB of free storage space. For more info, go to http://storage.halo4.com.

That is the official word from a Microsoft spokesperson letting us and everyone else know for a fact, you need a hard drive to play multiplayer. I still don’t understand the reason other than maybe it has something to do with caching the game or something to do with the DLC that will eventually come down the pipes from 343 Industries.

Either way, if you are one of the unfortunate gamers without a hard drive for your Xbox 360, you might start looking around for some deals before Halo 4 launches November 6th, 2012.
