Subject: I thought ODST was going to be cheaper than other games?

I could of swore Bungie mentioned long ago that ODST was a expansion and was going to retail for less than a normal games price. I just checked gamestop.com and they are selling it for 59.99 or 100 bucks for one with a halo wireless green controller (rip off).

Nope.

Hey what's up Jaw Boogie (You're on my friend's list!)

But yeah they repriced it to 60$ apparently. Sadface.

Bungie said that they didn't view it as a $60 project, but Microsoft thought otherwise. And I think it's worth it.

Whats up Amoeba? I call Johnson if we play firefight when it comes out. :)

Nah, I'm going to play the Reach beta while its still there. Though I might drop into ODST once in a while (pun intended)

  • 06.05.2009 11:28 AM PDT

Why the hell are you looking at this? Get out.

And no group invites, you jerk. I'm not interested.

ODST is a full campaign, with an invasion minigame, and a copy of Halo 3 with all downloadable content maps stored on it.

Seems pretty fair.

Marine Corps.

My problems [with Reach] are basically just full parties, mlg, and people who go out of their way not to get killed.

See all this hype for the game? It was a headline at E3. Microsoft is not going to miss out on this.

That was also earlier in developement when ODST may have been a smaller project than it has become.

  • 06.05.2009 11:31 AM PDT

Original campaign from halo 3 is on the disk also? When did they say that? I know it comes with all the halo 3 mm maps.

  • 06.05.2009 11:34 AM PDT

Nope.

Its only 3 new maps for most us...

I've already read all of the halo books today you stupid nerd. Plus Halo:Fall of reach twice.

It is pretty much a full game.

  • 06.05.2009 11:37 AM PDT

Nope.

The only full thing it has going for it is the tag "ODST."

Look for the signs, the keepers of the flame. They will lead you to war, and perhaps, to victory.

Shangheili FTW

Don't get your hopes up dude: the beta won't come till like early 2010 so you'll still have alot of time to play ODST.

Then there are the people who poop in the mash potatoes. Those people get launched out on their asses.

It was talked about in the initial stages. But due to Bungies awesomeness, they have managed to take what was initially an "add on" or "expansion" and turn it into a stand alone release. Trust me, your $60 will be well spent.

That only covers the $40 worth of DLC included in the game.

I would like to know if its true that halo 3's campaign will be on the odst disc as well? Someone mentioned it above.

100% false

Well most people buying ODST already bought all the DLC packs long ago, so we have to pay for it twice and pay more for ODST thats great. Should be discounted for people who bought all the DLC maps. I even paid 52 bucks for the mythic maps from a australian to play them early.

  • 06.05.2009 12:42 PM PDT

For me is a fair deal, I broke my Halo 3, and I really don't like the campaign anymore, I have beat it like 1000 times, So really is like 2 games for me, and I will be able to get the mythic maps, since I have no live at the moment.

jesus, are you serious, all the community does it moan about the cost of stuff, did i hit my head on something, how many other games do you own that cost full whack? and were utter garbage, taken back to gamestop or whatever you tightwads call it, and traded in??

We not talking an AVERAGE game here, if you dont think its worth that much wait till it becomes an xbox classic, will be at a price your happy with, if you want it when it comes out, put your hand in your pocket

It is worth more than $60.

  • 06.05.2009 12:45 PM PDT

lolz nice joke it's really only a extended champian mode, with some extra features. But I still plan on buying it. But really it's not even worth 40$ , $30 would be the best price listed for it.
