I started out with nothing and I still have most of it left.

It has too much new stuff to call it an "expansion" but not enough for it to be a "full" game.

I don't really mind, though, because I've worked it out as being £60 (Collectors Edition), so that splits up to:

£20 for the Controller
£20 for the Campaign
£10 for FireFight
£8 for Mythic Map Pack (800MSP = ~£8)
£2 for Halo: Reach Multiplayer Beta

Not such a bad deal when you see it like that.

Looks like more than just an expansion to me, fool. It's the first Halo game to have a truly open world. The engine has been modified to take the ODST's unique limitations into account. It has it's very own fully fledged multiplayer mode in Firefight. It's looking like a really great package, fully worth the $60 - it has at least as much content as the original game, and it's shipping with the complete Halo 3 multiplayer package to boot.

Maybe the issue here is your intelligence rather than ODST's merits as a game separate from the current H3 package, ohya.

It seems the OP doesn't like ODST very much..
Too much money to pay? Nonesense.
Sad for someone like you OP

Just your excuse for not wanting it.
U probably download movies illegally because they're too expensive.
Sad really.
Two thousand plus people will probably not even buy the game but that doesn't matter.

Able-bodied works will have enough to buy it though..
Not trying to be mean to those not able-bodied getting funds though.

Except for those at Walmart..I feel sorry for you.
X-treme cheetos are probably the OP's enemy.
Pants are probably as well....
Ants might be too if he left X-Treme cheetos on the ground.
Not if he runs fast enough from the ants though.
Such is life I suppose.
I don't pity you OP.
One bit, I do not.
Not at all.

Hey look at that. I made a haiku on the OP....

The Stig is dead to me
-Carrick

even if it is "just an expansion" it still looks like bungie has put a damn lot of effort into it, and thats just from what i've seen in E3 and the trailer. just think about it

-Firefight, new mode
-recon armour, everyone wants it, admit it
-you play as a ODST. that's awesome,
-3 new maps, on top of all the others being put on that disc
-free roam. yes, you get to find the fate of your buddies in whatever order.
-2 really cool new(ish) suppressed weapons
-a stealth like hud thing that highlihghts scenery and enemies
-everything that halo 3 has at the moment

whereas at the moment we only have
-the MC campaign (personally i think he's getting a bit old now)
- single levels. you can't free roam, you either go forwards in a similar way, or backwards in a similar way.

in my opinion i would be damn right happy to pay 40 quid (i'm english) for all of that to go with halo 3 at the moment. and 60 quid for that beastly looking controller. "the graphics are the same" that is because if they were any better, it may aswell be Halo ODST, rather than Halo 3 ODST. it is the same game, but with more to choose from
so yes, "it's just an expansion", but it is gonna make the current H3 alot more fun and playable when it comes out.

That has 3 new maps that would cost $20, A new 10 hour campaign and a new co-op mode and i don't know where you watched it but the graphics on this expansion look better than H3s and a beta into a new game, and H3s multiplayer on it so you won't need your H3 disc if you want to play multiplayer. You're getting a good deal shut the -blam!- up and enjoy it. And either way you know you'll still buy it.[/quote]

maps are worth 10$

campaign is 3-5 hours not 10

the graphics are IDENTICAL

why would i want to pay for h3 MP?...i already have that

please stop being a fanboy is sickening
[/quote]Ok, $10 + $10 + $8 = $28.

You really do not know that and I could do Halo 3's in less time.

Expected.

Answer: Don't. No one is forcing you to do a thing. As much as you complain about it, you don't realize you don't have to buy it. The more upset you get about it now, the more upset you will be when you conform and buy it anyway.[/quote]

oh il buy it

but im not going to line up like a good little sheep like the rest of you

you know in 5 years when we are all playing horribly short and poorly produced games youl have nobody to blame but yourself

youre blindly supporting an outrageous business move that could negatively effect the entire gaming industry
[/quote]Then stop whining, there's really no point to it if all you plan to do is join the flock. In less than 5 year, I'm sure that will happen because it's already started. People aren't just blindly supporting these moves, they are doing it proudly. Have you not noticed it's too late to even try to stop it? We have games with more cinema than gameplay that cost the same price and you think this is as bad?


no i wont stop whinging

bcuz thats all i can do...its the only form of protest i have

and im sure if everyone was like me something might get done

but no...everyones all "u wants us 2 buys ur game..okz bugjay"


if all you're going to is whine, no is going to want to listen to you.

Now quit being a F***ing baby and go play COD or some other sh1t, deal with it, no one gives a -blam!- what you want in the game....besides it's just an expansion XD

I already spent money to get the maps. ODST will be a rental especially if it is just a short campaign...................... Bungie was making a big fuss about their "independence" shortly after H3's release yet they willingly let M$ pimp them like the money grubbin hoez they really are. As of now Bungie is like a wannabe EA........$Its just a rental$Its just a rental$Its just a rental$Its just a rental$Its just a rental$Its just a rental$Its just a rental$Its just a rental$Its just a rental$Its just a rental$Its just a rental$Its just a rental$Its just a rental$Its just a rental$Its just a rental$Its just a rentalIts just a rental$Its just a rental$Its just a rental!!!

Rule 6: Respect the Admins

“It’s their website, and they can do whatever the hell they like with it. You’re a guest, and hassling them about how they run things is akin to going round your Auntie’s house and curling one out in her tea-pot.”

Calm down man. Not only are you getting the campaign (excuse spelling) but you get the fire fight which is horde mod halo style, recon armor if you decide to do vidmaster, I'm hopeful for the use of the modified ODST varients for matchmaking, and anything else they may decide to add.

FireFight?!?!?!?!? Owning bots with 3 other people gets old fast.....If I wanna play "Horde" I will play the real thing...........I just wish Bungie would release some new IP instead of milking us as dry as possible with M$'s Halo machine.

  • 06.05.2009 12:33 PM PDT

the way i see it is

legendary maps = 10$

mythic maps part 1 = 10$

mythic maps part 2 = 10$

halo 3 was worth 60 and half of it is campaign which is worth like 30$
so ODST campaign should be like 30$

10+10+10+30=60 and that doesn't even include fire fight

Simple. Either everything included in ODST is worth $60 to you, or it is not. To me, its worth it. Firefight, new campaign, new multiplayer maps, and the Reach beta is worth $60.

Seriously, you should have basic economic knowledge before you even think to talk about pricing. Welcome to capitalism youngin.

that costs as much as the full game

It IS an Expansion, Bungie stated this a long ass time ago, And if have a problem with the price Think of it like this.
ODST Campaign: $15
FireFight: $10
Halo: Reach MP Beta: $5
Halo 3 Matchmaking, Theater, and Forge: $30

EA is awful. I really can't think of one game they have made that I actually enjoyed.

They made a game called "Bad Company". Irony.

Doesn't anyone realize that this guys a troll?

I wouldn't call him/her a troll. More like a guy saying his opinion.

I agree with you, but at the same time disagree. Your right, it is WAY too overpriced to be called an expansion, most cost around $10-$20. I don't really know why they called it an expansion except for the fact that it has Halo 3 in the title. BUT, it looks and what people that have played the game at E3 said, feels like a full game. This game has a Horde-like game, a 5-10 hour game (with free roam, that's easily a few hours longer), and 3 exclusive maps. This is one hell of an expansion.

i aint trying to be picky, but that last bit is said in such a way that DOES make it sound a bit like a rip off, as we already have halo 3 matchmaking, forge and theater in halo 3, the extra 30$ for it is silly(not trying to be insulting. honest). i do see what you're trying to say though :) . i'll just quote what i said earlier
