Still an expansion but Halo:Reach will be a stand-alone game.

Entertaining in the sense of "Hey Pezz, I figured out how to ban entire ISPs!", then yes, very entertaining.

Well, 1750 Gamerscore does seem excesive for an expansion.

Where did you come up with this number? The guy above was posting 1750 gamerscore points for the game.

Indeed.

It's an expansion, but that doesn't mean it can't be a fully-loaded one either.

No that is counting the already 1000 for Halo 3 and the extra for the Legendary Map pack ALONG with what will be ODST achievements that come in the new maps.

Be not afraid of greatness; some are born great, some achieve greatness, and others have greatness thrust upon them.

i'd say about 40 usd...which is roughly 60aud...

Full Game. Short full game.

Halo 3: ODST is a stand alone expansion. Meaning, it isn't an expansion like Burning Crusades or Wrath of the Lich King in World of Warcraft.

It's more an expansion on the story of Halo 3. Because technically, since ODST takes place weeks before Halo 3 actually begins, it's more of a prequel.

And the 1750 gamerscore available with the game, and the fact that the multiplayer for it will be coming stock loaded with ALL the Halo 3 maps, including ALL the DLC.

I think it's safe to say that it is essentially a whole new game.

Guys, it's a retail expansion. You will buy it in stores.

It will have its own disk. It will play like it was a standalone game.

It is a standalone game.

But it's combined with Halo 3 because it uses most of its assets from Halo 3.

A friend told me Lukems, said in a podcast Bungie is treating this game like a full release. Podcast was Out of the Game episode 3.

NO GROUP INVITES!!!

Halo 3 ODST is both a full game and an expansion.
How? It features standard lenght campaign apparently (that's 6-10h...) and firefight. Yet it comes with Halo 3 MP on Disc2 and is pretty similar to Halo 3 in terms of gameplay. So it's both expansion and a full game.

I broke one of the cords for my X11s because I couldn't get past the final American course in Doritos Crash Course.

The campaign is an expansion i.e. it is going to be considerably shorter than halo's previous campaigns, it just has the added bonus of firefight and complete halo 3 multiplayer.

Why don't you level 50's out there, when you finally decide to apply for colleges...why don't you put that you were a level 50 on your application. And put it on your job resume, too. See how much it matters, and how much people care.
