Halo: Reach Install On Hard Drive = Good Idea

Wondering how much a difference it makes running Halo: Reach if installed on the hard drive?

Cool guy Matt Furtado over at examiner.com did some comparison tests using an Elite model system. This is what he found:

Installed: Initial Load Screen to the appearance of Microsoft Game Studios Logo: 10.3 seconds.
Not Installed: Initial Load Screen to the appearance of Microsoft Game Studios Logo: 12.0 seconds.

Installed: Opening Mission: 8.1 seconds.
Not Installed: Opening Mission: 21.4 seconds.

Installed: Firefight: 21.6 seconds.
Not Installed: Firefight: 45.1 seconds.

Installed: Custom Game Load: 9.7 seconds.
Not Installed: Custom Game Load: 28.7 seconds.

Installing the game certainly seems to be a worthwhile case.

Wonder if there’s much difference between an Elite console and the Halo: Reach Xbox?
