Although the option is available in the game, Bethesda is advising Xbox 360 Doom 3 BFG edition players not to install it to their consoles' hard drives.
H ow do I install the first-person shooter genre, Doom3 video game under Ubuntu Linux? Doom 3 is a science fiction first-person shooter video game developed by id Software. It was first released for Microsoft Windows. The game was later adapted for Linux, as well as being ported for Mac OS X.

'There is no performance advantage to installing the game to your hard drive,' admitted Bethesda's global community lead Matt Grandstaf.
Even more, installing the game to the Xbox 360 hard drive actually disables some features. More precisely, doing so prevents the classic Doom and Doom 2 games bundled on the disc from running.

So why did id Software include that option which wastes hard disk space while reducing functionality and offering no benefits whatsoever? Our guess is as good as yours. Just don't use it.

If you want to play the bonus retro titles included in this special edition, keep it off your Xbox 360's hard drive.
Doom 3 Bfg Levels
It's rare that a game publisher would advise against doing something that can extend the life of your game console, but that's just what Bethesda is doing when it comes to the just-released Doom 3 BFG Edition. It seems that due to a strange quirk with the Xbox 360 version of the title, those who decide to install the game on the system won't be able to access the bonus Doom or Doom 2 titles.

The news comes from Bethesda Global Community Lead Matt Grandstaff, commenting on a NowGamer article. 'If you choose to install the game to the Xbox 360 hard drive, you will not be able to launch Doom or Doom 2,' Grandstaff explains, 'As their[sic] is no performance advantage to installing the game to your hard drive, we recommend not installing the game to avoid this issue.'
While there may be no performance benefit to this particular title itself, the ability to install games onto a console's storage device can extend the life of your hardware. Negating countless hours of disc spinning means fewer moving parts, and therefore less opportunity for something to go wrong.
There has been no official word on whether the title will be updated to tweak the unfortunate issue, though we can't imagine getting a couple of 18-year-old PC games installed and running on the Xbox 360 would be particularly difficult.
