Wassup?

Why is ODST gonna be the full price of a game? It's just a new campaign and a survival mode. They said months ago that it would only be $40! Why the extra $20 now!?

I'm sorry for that rant I'm just shocked that Bungie would rip us off like that!

Firefight, Campaign, All DLC, 1000 more GS, Recon unlocking, And Johnson. It's worth it.

No, they didn't. Bungie said that the price would reflect the expansion aspect of the game, but that may have been before ODST because this incredibly blown out Halo 3 extraviganza with, mind you, $40 of DLC included as a compliment to the new campaign features.

It should be $20 for campaign, $10 for firefight and $10 for the new maps for a total of $40. I have to pay an extra $20 for maps I already own.

$40 dollars of DLC? Ha! Heroic is free, Legendary and both Mythic map packs are $25.90 at MOST

Why not stop by my File Share while you're here?

Only regret is I didn't play more of it.

If you haven't noticed by now, I'm sort of a jerk.

its m$ that prices stuff, not bungie.
and if it was up to bungie to price, i think bungie would stick with $40
and, lets not forget, it was supposed to be only the campaign and maps.
now we have firefight, campaign, maps, and a beta for reach.

Which is still greater than your imagined $20 price hike from the original design of the game which probably didn't have this multiplayer component at the time Bungie issued their hopeful wish about the as of then undetermined price which you foolishly took as a concrete promise of a $40 price tag.

BUNGIE DOES NOT MAKE THE PRICES

You also get all of the Halo 3 maps, even DLC, and 3 new maps, and a Halo: Reach beta.

Additionally, Halo 3: ODST is a full game, along the lines of Fallout 3.

God I hope you're a troll.

lol...I'm preparing to shell out $100+ for the Collectors Edition...

I own Halo 3 Legendary Edition, purchased the day Halo 3 was released. I don't splurge on much, I'm very careful with my hard earned $$ so Halo 3 LE and Halo 3 ODST CE are what I splurge on. And if there is a special edition of Reach...I'll own that too...


its the weekend see ya!!

Volenti Nil Difficile - To the Willing Nothing Is Difficult

geez this is getting old. it was originally priced to be cheaper than a normal game because it was just the campaign. but over time the added more things to. all maps, srgt. johnson(with pre-order), halo reach beta, plus a campaign that may now be a little longer than 5 hrs. and of course the fact that bungie has absolutely no say so in the price of the game plays a big factor

Because back when Bungie/M$ said that I think they didnt mean to have FF or the Halo: Reach MP Beta Demo(Mouth full) in it.

I agree. You're just being cheap. This game has a lot to offer and deserves a $60 price tag.

I already own everything you said there except 3 new maps. So I get a campaign + 3 new maps. Also betas help the company that put them on, so now we pay to get into a beta? I didn't now that.

ODST =/ a full game if you play Halo 3 on XBL.
