Not if you only own a 8 GB stick.
Do you still get any pop up? Mines installed to a 16gb USB but I've still noticed quite a bit of pop up at high speeds and textures taking time to load?
The only benefit seems to be that my 360 doesn't sound like a Hoover!
To be honest I was still getting pop up when still playing from disc so I much prefer the quieter option.
And the obvious solution is? 16GB sticks are cheap as chips nowadays, unless you don't bother looking for cheap options...
I don't even think playing from the dvd disc eliminates pop up
Apparently not...
There is a glitch though with the floor texture streaming some assets, it's most noticeable in the countryside and it's in really stark contrast to the city and the high res ground textures. I hope that will be addressed in a future title update. Very reminiscent of the issues Skyrim suffered from at launch (though not nearly as bad)
Disc 2 (Play Disc) shouldn't need as much space as Disc 1 - AFAIK you should be able to fit Disc 2 on an 8gb stick (Though I havent confirmed that)
No, it needs to be a reasonably fast one or it won't work, so non-branded cheap ones are probably out.
The key thing is not to have both discs installed to the same drive, as the game is designed to access both disc images at the same time - that is a lot of work (and wear) for a HD read head, so the second disc is best placed on a USB drive to spare your HD that extra load.
16GB USB 2 to be safe. £7 for a Kingston on Amazon:

Probably best to go with 16GB due to the system nonsense. The 360 sees an 8GB stick as something like 7.3...
What size is the Disc 2 install? I thought only Disc 1 was Dual Layer? Away from console atm, must actually check that out later!
It's a 7.8GB install leaving 6.3GB on a 16GB stick (60kb is taken up by system stuff, apparently, too).
To confirm, that's for disc 2.
Mine is installed on a 16gb and it says 6.odd space free.
Also, it's a SanDisk £10. Good for back up saves and such.
When plugged in it will give an option to format to 360 specs. Should take less than a minute. Don't worry if it says the USB isn't up to the job. It'll still work.
Then go through the regular install process and choose USB instead of HDD. And Robert's your father's brother.
so when i play the game, will it automatically run from the usb stick?
Yes, just keep it plugged in. The only thing you'll notice is that, the first time you go to save a game or the auto-save kicks in, it'll now ask where you want to save. I just kept saves on the hard drive.
i did a quick save but the drive still seems like its whirring....
i hate playing from the disc with a passion
