Subject: The Top 5 things BUNGIE/MS did WRONG with Halo 3: ODST

1.) 'We do not view this as a 60$ game', and look, it's 60$.

2.) Microsoft says part of the pricing includes a beta to Halo : Reach. YES. THAT'S RIGHT. They're MAKING you pay for a BETA That's FORCIBLY included in a game. If you buy it, even after the beta period is over, the 'pricing' for the Beta is STILL Included in the 60$ you will buy, even if the beta period is over

3.) Halo 3 ODST is the only expansion pack for a popular video game that costs 60$

4.) The Recon Helmet is still banned to people on 'The List' if you buy ODST. This will equate to False Advertising if 'Get recon!' is on the back of the box, or anywhere in the game manual. Hopefully nothing about the game tells people that Recon is unlockable, because i can prove this is false advertising. Basically, if someone was on the list BEFORE Halo 3 RECON was announced, then even if you buy the game, something you did before the game was announced barred you from recon.

5.) Sgt. Johnson is unlockable in Firefight.
This does NOT MAKE SENSE AT ALL
Want to know why? ODST's have a 'Nightvision' mode, or something like that. As you know, Johnson doesn't have a visor, so how would he use night vision?
That's right. THEY MADE SGT. JOHNSON A ROBOT
Well, that'd explain why he's immune to the Flood...

Hi I'm RT and I like to argue!

Impossible to take seriously because you do not know how properly write $60.

1. Price
2. Price
3. Price
4. How dare Bungie punish idiots!
5. Look at meh I'm trying to be funny! Why aren't you laughing? Guise?

You pretty much could have shortened it to one reason

I'm going to invade your heart like a barn swallow high on milk chocolate and grandma love.

Fairness is only possible within the limited powers of man. Elsewhere, there is only chance.

Thus I refute thee.

But the game hasn't even been released yet. It may be excellent.

Firefight isn't canon, right?

Neither is the multiplayer, but they still follow the laws/rules/storyline of HALO when it comes to their multiplayer maps/gameplay

Why is firefight some special exception?

We should make a topic

the Top 5 reasons why you shouldn't post on these boards anymore.

Seriously, think before you post... I paid $60 for Halo 3 beta, (Crackdown anyone?).

quit your -blam!-in.

EDIT: Also your mention of the "list" makes it obvious that you are one of the idiots who got banned from recon.

I do not appreciate B.Net Group solicitation. If you ignore this and send me an invitation anyway, I will block communications with you.

1. Do not speak for the entire community, as you misrepresent thousands. I view it as a $60 game easily. Don't want it? Don't buy it.

2. MS has never said that the beta has directly influenced the price tag. Bungie has called it a bonus for fans, which means that even in its absence, the game would likely still be $60, which it would still be worth. Don't want it? Don't buy it.

3. It is also the only expansion pack for a popular video game on the 360 console to provide not just a new campaign experience, but also a game mode that in and of itself would make a good game. Didn't you already complain about the price in your previous two points? Don't want it? Don't buy it.

4. I highly doubt that they would advertise Recon on the box with anything other than an image. This point is pointless because you have not seen boxart. Don't want it? Don't buy it.

5. Ocular implants. Don't want it? Don't buy it.

So, bottom line here is... MS hasn't gotten anything wrong yet because it is far too early to be making such claims on baseless information. If you don't want the game then do not buy it. Rent it. Or hell, don't play it at all.

although every point (in my opinion) was right, the list of things that bungie did right with this game eats your list

Up to Bungie to decide, for gameplay purposes, and to balance out certain areas in the different modes. In Firefight they probably added the turret option to balance out ODST support with the overwhelming amount of Covenant trying to kill you. And Sgt. Johnson is just a fun little extra there for the people who preordered the game.

Multiplayer follows Halo fiction to an extent. It must be boring to play every bit of Halo in accordance with where Master Chief has been.

Intolerance is the highest level of stupidity and inbred thinking.

MI: 5213901 UI: 5244621

1) Make it worth $60. Don't play through as fast as possible, and take your time and explore the city. This will make your play time longer, and more worth the $60. Don't want to spen that much money, then don't.

2) I have never heard that.

3) Maybe so, but there's a first time for everything.

4) They are not false advertising. You can unlock Recon armor, they just may choe not to tell you that they can punish you for past deeds, but not letting you unlock it. By default you should be able to, unless you did something.

5) They did this too boost sales. There are tons of people who will preorder the game, only to play as Sargent Johnson. Bungie is a business, accept it.

Staff Sergeant future 510, serial number HHT3-09PL, Flood Military Reserve.

Eh, the whole beta thing is agood point. What if you don't have Live? Are you paying for something you can't have, or is there going to be a single payer campaign?

Lmao since when was 16 Spartans killing each other inside a covenant scarab factory become canon?

Apparently nobody here remembers the halo 3 beta(Probably because 3 years ago you guys were still wetting your beds) You had to buy a medicore game in order to play the Halo 3 beta. Its the same exact thing with ODST, except ODST is a kickass game.
