You don't need a HDD to have large levels. Have you ever played Jak & Daxter? An entire game where there is only one load time. The entire world is renderred, with no stoppages for loading. Halo, on the other hand DOES stop to load (recache) every once in a while.

What about Haven? Interplanet travel, but the game doesn't stop. You are in outer space, you fly down, land on the planet, then go around and platform like you've never platformed before. Without any load times.

Or what about The Getaway? The entire city of London (well, at least the inner city) recreated, without any load times. Even as you enter the buildings, cross the Thames river or what have you.

In comparison, Halo has rather small levels. Gee, good thing XBox has the HDD

Oh, and don't knock theXbox's power OB1. Im just saying that the other systems will have problems with the port. The Xbox had a problem with Substance, and the PS2 version of Splinter Cell while good looking is not favorable to the XBOX.

Of course the other systems would have problems if it was nothing more than a mere port. But that's not what you meant, when you said

I don't think neither the GC or PS2 can handle Halo. Only the power of X is capable of doing that.
