Subject: Why will ODST cost 60 $???

You get:
A brand new campaign
The new firefight mode
All the Halo 3 maps included mythic part 2
A chance at recon
A invitation to the Reach beta.

So isn't that all worth $60? I don't know about you but this is a good deal for me.

Ya, but... How many hours will it include??

The expansion of GTA IV had a new and long campaing, new game modes , new charackter, vehicles , weapons... and it only cost 1600 MS points

ok it is an expansion, but it also comes with new maps that are usually 10 dollars, it comes with new game play (campaign and live), probably new armor, so it is worth it.


looks like it will be awesome!

The AR is an awesome weapon, RESPECT IT AS SUCH!!!

ODST will cost so much because although it was originally gonna be an expansion (which it still is), It is also a whole new game in itself, with (i believe) 5 hours of gameplay. Then on top of that, you get ALL of the maps that came as DLC for halo 3, AND a brand new "Firefight" game mode, a gamemode which has vastly improved a few other games, eg: GoW:Horde, CoD:WaW: zombies etc.

I think that it will be well worth it!
EDIT: ALSO!!! For a little bit extra ( im not sure how much) you can also get a special edition of the game which comes with a green specialy designed xbox controller( looks awesome- will try to find a link) and probably loads of other stuff like behind the scenes, the making of etc..

EDIT: Here is the link to the controller: AWESOME!

Bungie, oh Bungie, oh Bungie,
Know what would really be fun, G?
I don’t wish to nag
But remake Coag,
Or die from a purple sword-lungie.

At the begginig, Bungie said Halo ODST would be a title of 20-30 $.... Now , internet say HALO ODST wil cost 60$...

It´s too expensive for an expansion ¬¬
Bungie never said it would cost $20- $30.

Hurp durp, boo hoo. Do your research before you claim it's 'too expensive'.

It's worth it, you're getting all of the Halo 3 Map packs with the game, a Firefight mode never before seen in Halo and a campaign expansion.

The map packs added together alone should cost around $40.


many people have already downloaded all the maps and paid their fees. sooo take out your so called "worth $40." as for the new gametype, many expansions have a few new modes for multiplayer along with an expanded campaign...usually they cost around $20-25

by the way, besides retail websites, where does it say 60 bucks? like....officially

Do it....for the Chief

09/09/09 was my Birthday.

my parents stopped buying me games so i keep the lunch money they give me, i preorder my games months in advance, so i can build up the money to pay for all the games i want(just started the proccess and its working great) i have pre-orderd lots of games Bioshock 2, mass effect 2(i love mass effect but not as much as halo), spore galactic adventures, halo 3: ODST, and anytime next year or the end of this year when bungie releases reach for preorder i will eat my computer and go preorder it.

i also have rich relatives who never know what to get me so they just send me hundreds of dallars(hundreds as in atleast a hundred from each one)

not trying to brag but i think i have enugh money for my HALO addiction till i get a job.

A few maps?

You're getting the Heroic, Legendary and Mythic map packs bundled together free. It WOULD be approx $40 if you bought them off the XBLmarketplace, but now you can get them bundled free with ODST.

Good deal, no?



Actually if you bought the map packs seperatly from XBL market place it would be about $30.00, considering they all cost 800 points a pop and 1000 points is $12.50. So it is closer to $10.00 per map pack. 3 map packs means around $30.00 not $40.00

Also if you look at it, the people that already bought the map packs before ODST are at a loss. They already paid for the map pack as it is, so that would mean they are paying for the map pack twice? Doesn't sound fair to me.

  • 06.02.2009 8:28 AM PDT

its not just an expansion it has multiplayer content as well... also all maps are available.

plus have you seen the trailer!?


oh and the limited edition controller looks awesome, but i cant just cough up $99

the answer is simple my friend.. you asked so now the price went up, and every time you ask the price will go up one american dollar. hehe :D
but seriously i dont mind paying that much for it, especially with the halo:reach multiplayer beta included

  • 06.02.2009 8:50 AM PDT

Don't worry about the world ending today its already tomarrow in Australia.

I love to drive and if anone knows where i can get a piece of crap Dodge Challenger for a project car PLZ PM me Thanx =)

I really want to know where everyone is preordering because from the looks of it all the major stores for videogames in the U.S.A have not updated any of the information for the game its all the same. There release dates are wrong and the rating is still RP so it could be lower.

my gamer tag is II continuum II....not L's but capital I's.. :)
Im gonna miss Halo 2 soooo damn much :'(
countless nights, with hazardous amounts of hours logged onto live, and the best memories ive probably ever had in my gaming career. The end of something great unfortunately has to take place today, April 15th, 2010.;;

September 25,2007

in my opinion, i believe that the price is right, no pun intended, only if Bungie delivers a very LONG campaign experience, with as many levels as Halo 3. THat being said, will it be hard for them to do that seeing how the campaign of ODST takes place 3 weeks b4 the beginning of halo 3? lets see, Bungie never fails to suprise and amaze..

The Flood Revolution is coming...

Why shouldn't it?

  • 06.02.2009 8:59 AM PDT

I"ma in your thread disapproving your theory.
Heroic Map Pack-10$
Legendary Map Pack-10$
Mythic Map Map (Part 1)-10$
Mythic Map Pack (Part 2)-10$
Campaign Expansion-20 to 30$
Firefight Mode-10 to 20$

That alone is worth 70-90$, and thats without:
Matchmaking
Custom Games
Pre-DLC Maps
Forge Mode
Theater Mode

Be happy with the current price. It could be ALOT higher.

Iam enjoying Halo Reach and revisiting some past Bungie games, iam a big fan of Bungie and their online community.

$60 and i think its going to be £40 for us.

I like to kill things

I think now that ODST will be a full game just like Halo 3 was and also its a prequal, not a prologue. So if they just included the campaign and that was all in it, it would probabily be 20-30 bucks but since there including a bunch of new add on to the game like this firefight mode and newer forge options and a Halo reach multiplayer beta. It is definitely $60s.

I have no signature... exept for this one...

7,5 Swedish krona = 1 dollar. Halo 3: ODST = 600 kr (599 kr). 600 kroner = 80 dollar.
Yay for Sweden.
378.2(399) kroner in Norway, sucka :P

Hi I'm RT and I like to argue!

Being an accountant by trade, watching all of you come up with different ways to justify or argue against the stated price is quite amusing to me. :-)
