Subject: Price of ODST?

Is ODST really $60 for an expansion?

because ODST is a 5 hour campaign with one game mode and 3 maps for Halo 3(an Reach beta)

but, take for example GTA: Lost and Damned is only $20 and thats a 10 hour campaign with like 4 or 5 new game modes.

I guess my question is that is ODST priced fairly or is it priced off of being a "Halo" game

Yes it will be.

or the fact it comes with two discs with matchmaking custom games and forge on the other one.

  • 06.06.2009 4:21 PM PDT

Think of it this way... it's about $40 for the game, and than $10 for the legendary included w/ disc 2, and another $10 for the mythic map on disc 2...

they said that the campaign had been extended quite a bit. there are more than just the 4 beacons now, they said there are multiple beacons for each ODST, and that the game will be much longer than originally planned

i think it's fairly priced. $40 for the campaign and firefight mode, not to mention all of the new customization capabilities.

$20 for the multiplayer disc, housing all halo 3 dlc maps. including the three new maps, Heretic, Citadel, and Longshore.

and the CE (collector's edition) is also fairly priced, $40-$50 for the controller.

Omg, just learn to live with it...it include like all halo 3 map packs...thats like 20$. A new campaign which they have been working on for 3/4 of a year...35$?...halo reach beta...5$?...60$.

Are you happy, if you dont have enough money, get a job.... dont complain because its too expensive. PLUS FIREFIGHT!
so dont say anything more about being overpriced...i think its a good price...im payin 70$ for normal because thats how much it is in canada because of usa's ressesion...am i mad...no...so get over it!

  • 06.06.2009 4:24 PM PDT

Think about this you can say that it has a 5 hour campaign but it is also free roaming with will (or can) entertain you much longer than 5 hours along with survival mode which can obviously entertain you for a while. You can say it has 3 maps for halo 3 but it actually has all of the current DLC along with those 3 new ones. So If you think about it the 3 sets of dlc that were previously available used to cost $30 total and $20 currently along with the money that it would cost for the new maps. The multiplayer is also available even if you don't have Halo 3. You gotsta think about things like that.

1st, Canada should not so reliant on the USA
2nd, What if your people like me who have bought all DLC available for Halo 3.
3rd, tag maybe another hour to the campaign

Maybe they should consider a 2nd version of just campaign, firefight,beta and a dlc code for the 3 new maps so you would have to pay yet again for the same things.

Lets see:


Halo 3: ODST
3 Maps
Invite for Halo Reach
Firefight
Halo 3 MP

Bonuses:

Pre-order Johnson character
Vidmaster Achievements = Recon
Limited edition controller

I'd say the Price is Perfect and sure as hell its worth every single $

If anything, there should be two versions of the game, because I've already bought all of the map packs. I shouldn't have to buy what I already own.

Version 1

Halo 3: ODST Core-$30-40
-----------------------------
Campaign
Firefight
Reach Beta?


Version 2

Halo 3: ODST-$60
-----------------------------
Campaign
Firefight
Reach Beta
Everything else; multiplayer, maps, etc.

but not everyone has all of the maps though, that's why they did that. the price is high because of the stuff on it. if you don't like the price find a better deal, or wait till the price goes down.

you realize it's a 6-7 hour campaign now right? according to the podcast.

also the canadian economy is almost out our the recession as it is. the guy you quoted knows nothing, the recession isn't the fault of the US or anyone, it's the fault of the world and consumers. the recession is GLOBAL

and suck it up as far as the fact you already bought the DLC, you paid for the convenience of having it early.

  • 06.06.2009 4:38 PM PDT

Reach. Reach. Reach.

i figured it would be 60
but they are doing the story in an origanal way giving us new modes and the storys length will be about 10 hours (guessing) depending on your skill level.

Fair enough arguement
No need to be so harsh :(

  • 06.06.2009 4:42 PM PDT

well, since it has Reg Halo 3 + 3 maps: thats like 40-50 bucks so ODST technically costs about 20$, as much as GTA4 Lost and Damned.

  • 06.09.2009 8:01 PM PDT

Content
-Campaign=$20
-Firefight=$10
-Johnson/beta=$10
-Halo 3 Content=(already bought for $60)

how i reacted to the Halo 3 Beta needler!

Posted by:mauricio14
its ok i used it 25% of the time but when someone used it on me thats when i started calling him a n00b and a modder and how i was going to give him negative feedback you sissy needler user.

5 hour campaign is better than most games out now. Imagine if you set the difficulty on Legendary, how long do you think that would last?

If you looked at all that ODST is then you would know that it is more than just an "expansion".
