Halo 4 leak being investigated; Disc 2 contains multiplayer installation
Images have surfaced on social sites NeoGAF and Reddit, depicting two Halo 4 retail discs, and the Xbox 360 dashboard featuring the game ready to be played.
"We have seen the reports of 'Halo 4' content being propped on the Web and are working closely with our security teams and law enforcement to address the situation," a Microsoft spokesperson told Joystiq.
In clarifying whether the images represent the actual artwork featured on retail copies of Halo 4, Microsoft explained the need for two discs.
According to the publisher, Halo 4's second disc "contains data that will need to be installed on an Xbox 360 hard drive or compatible flash storage device with at least 8GB of available memory in order to access 'Halo 4's' extensive suite of multiplayer features." Microsoft has employed a similar system for first-party games like Forza Motorsport 4.
Once the data is installed only the first disc will be required to access Halo 4's single- and multiplayer content.

DEEJAYstar46 I hope installing the second disc is worth it for 8GB of memory.
it is. load times are fantastic and when you go online you don't have to worry about map shifts because someone has a scratched disk

I like the idea of how their use of a second disc, it is rather ingenious.
As for their investigations into the leak, I am sure it won't take them too long to start finding people and coming up with possible scenarios.

SPEEDOasis And I thought Microsoft had upped their security.
Has nothing to do with Microsoft. At the end of the day, it comes down to the retailers who stole/sold the game early.
Retailers dont have the game yet we won't get them till november
