Bought this game as a gift for someone. Now I'm told that a hard drive is needed to play the game? Is this so? What type of hard drive is needed?

All xbox 360s are supposed to have a hard drive . Some Units require a slim hard drive or up to a 250 that snaps in place on the top of the xbox . You need to figure out which type you need . If its the older style 360 2nd hand drives are available cheap if you look . Make sure its a OEM hard drive not a fake from china. In the mean time you can maybe hook up a large thumb drive like 32gb or 64 and could play some games till you get the right drive . I would suggest the 250 GB cause the space goes fast and is used for other things like demos , videos etc. I hope this helps. Ash

Sorry it took so long. This hard drive is ONLY for the slim model. Go figure, just another way to control our gaming. Lol.

You will need a internet connection, type in the activation code located in the CD case. This is a one time thing, and you must have the CD in your computer to play. It's a great game so enjoy.

You will need a hard drive. Very cheap right now on Newegg.com (2tB for $80.00 US.)

Bring a game disc that you can play without internet, but you must download the other online to play. I still have not downloaded.

I bought the disk version with the cable when it was on sale at a deep discount. All you need is the license key from the box by which you can log into your Steam account and activate the new game by entering the license key after which the latest edition (all patches included) will proceed to download to your games library. if you did use the disk, you wouldn't have all the patches and the game would patch after activation. Just using the code through steam, no drive is necessary.

Like everyone said, you need a hard drive to play it. I guess it doesn't come with the Xbox 360 and is something you have to add on. It didn't work for us.

I didn't need the disc. However, on some of these games, it requires a disc.

You would have to get an external disk drive or put the game on a flash drive. Both are cheap.

Need to install on a back up hard drive, or a partitioned drive off the C: drive. The key is to install from that drive. It does not like being installed just to the C: Drive I have a Toshiba backup drive. I copied all the programs from the D: drive the DVD or CD to the backup drive. Then I installed from that drive. As long as I have that backup dive attached to the USB port, I do not need the DVD/CD to run the game

Yes, you do need to have the disk inserted to play. That's really the only bad part about the game, in my opinion.

You absolutely want a model with a hard drive (i.e. the 250GB model). The 360 is EXTREMELY loud if it's running games from DVD. If you install them to the hard drive first, it's vastly quieter. Games can also load faster from hard drive, and some games essentially require it, or are missing chunks of the game if you don't have a hard drive, like may have a disc you need to install first before running from the first disc.This 4GB model exists only to trick people into thinking the system is a bit cheaper than it really is. You effectively need the hard drive, and it's cheaper and easier to just buy the system with it already installed...skip this 4GB model.

Hi, I also have windows 8.1 and the game works perfectly :). You do not need the disc.

Before an update that happened last month. The game had to be connect to Internet in order to play ( with a server, which you couldn't always connect to). So you needed internet and hope a server had enough room for you. Now is completely fine. And I'm not sure if when you purchase the cd for the game if it still requires an account with origin.com. If you do digital download like i did, you need to create an origin account and insert a code in order to download. So long story short, you can now play offline. Anytime, anywhere.

Hey Martin. I have not tried yet. I purchased this game before I fully realized what the requirements for it are. I was told by a friend I needed Win95!! Don't know if it's true, but I'll post again if I figure it out.
