Huh? Mandatory install?

I'm a bit confused - I'm pretty sure I once read that Microsoft forbade mandatory installs for Xbox 360 games? (so it would be ensured that each Xbox 360 game runs on every Xbox 360, even those without a hard drive)

That was kinda thrown out the window with Halo 4. It had a mandatory install for multiplayer.

But Halo 4 was still usable without a mandatory install, right? One just wouldn't be able to use all features  without installing - like in Forza 4(?) where one needed to install the second disc in order to use all cars/tracks?

I always thought that this was kind of the only allowed compromise solution.

Here's the difference. Halo 4 is not fully playable without that mandatory install. While the Forza 4 mandatory install was just for extra cars.

Anyhow, now that USB memory sticks are an option I believe MS is being more loose on these rules.
