    Does anyone think its the same as GTA V when it comes to installing the disk along with the install disk itself? I had it installed since I got the game and I do see pop in's and other graphic problems just need some advice please.

    Wait I'm confused. I thought that if I installed the game I wouldn't need to insert the disc to play it. I just installed the game, then took out the disc and tried to play. Then it prompted me to put the disc back in. Sorry if this is a stupid question
    (wouldn't be my first) but why does it need the disc if I just copied all of the disc contents to my hard drive?

    Understandable, but lame. Seems like they could design a process to prevent piracy without requiring the disc to act as your key.

    They will if/when things are more cloud based. right now the business model is to sell discs, and requiring the user to have the disc is a perfect way to deal with it. why make it more complicated?

    Disc vs Download?

    When you install a game to your hard drive via disk, it does not install ALL the game information, just the core elements. Treyarch made the mistake of not doing this with BO1, and people pirated the sh*t out of that.

    Now stop reviving this thread.

    can I play games that were not bought in xbox store without discs using xbox live account?

    No, the disc copies of games you purchased need to have the disc in the console to play, even after installation. There are upsides and downsides to disc vs. downloaded games, this is one of the downsides of buying a physical copy.
