I'm still going to install the game. If it looks like [censored], I'll un-install it and wait for a patch.

Relax guys.
The problem doesn't seem to be too serious.
It has to do with texture streaming from the HDD.
I would guess that it has something to do with the game's fancy new super-compression. I'm sure they'll fix it.
Microsoft however will do their best to delay that patch as they always do!

id rather hear something about it from an actual developer
petes been off on a lot of info, if not just flat-out wrong
im pretty sure theyll fix this soon though, if its real to begin with (hard to tell with all this back-and-forth on here )

thank god i got the pc version now the wait is truly worth it! i want to play in the highest video settings possible!

PEOPLE STOP BELIEVING THEIR IS A PROBLEM WHEH THEIR ISN"T ONE, PEOPLE WHO PIRATED THE GAME ARE PROBABLY LYING ALONG WITH PEOPLE WHO GOT IT EARLY! THERE IS NO HDD INSTALL BUG! This is really annoying!
