I got his sarcasm...one person has to implement sarcasm and then you get a pile of terrorist chipmunks crashing your party, not fun at all..


1.) It's easily worth that much. Halo represents the top echelon of video games, the games are worth far more than their RRP. You should consider yourself lucky that the price isn't any higher.

2.) So, basically if you buy after the BETA its your loss. Thats like missing a flight that you paid for because of COMPLETELY CONTROLLABLE circumstances and blaming the airline for leaving on time.

3.) See 1

4.) All part of terms and conditions. Learn to business law...

5.) Firefight isnt part of the story arc, it doesn't really make sense in terms of story for millions of spartans and elites to kill each other over and over again on MP does it?

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



Ever since 16 spartans with energy swords and gravity hammers with an unlimited battery life running three times faster than an average spartan became canon.

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

Stopped at reason # 2. Then glanced at # 5 and laughed. If these are your reasons as to why you believe Bungie messed up with ODST, you are trying way too hard to find flaws. Relax.

You are supposed to play as elites in that map in order for it to become 'canon'. Just kidding. See your point though.

and waait. can you forge on firefight maps? hmm..

Apparently nobody here remembers the halo 3 beta(probably because 3 years ago they were still wetting their 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.
I liked Crackdown. not game of the year, but fun to play.

I've got to keep up with Halo more, i never know that >.> lol

1. Who cares, most people knew that it was going to be released for $60.00 anyways.
2. I would glady pay for beta
3. Yeah another company can make an expansion or something
4. Do you not understand how the programming works. Recon will unlock after achievements are unlocked. If the achievements are programed that after all are unlocked Recon will be unlocked, then everyone who got banned with most likely still get it.
5. Why not? Sgt Johnson is a fan favourite? Its better then seeing him in MM on halo 3 or something else.

That was very mumbly and confused me....
Bungie has stated, that if you are on their "naughty" list, you won't get Recon armor, even if you get all the Vidmaster Achievements.

I dont think they can exclude a person from obtaining something earned by achievements, due to programming. I wouldn't know, though.

Wtf, Bungie clearly stated if you were banned from getting Recon the original way, you may STILL get it the ODST way.

You have a brain, you know. It's sad to see you seem to have forgotten how to use it. Have fun rewriting the rules of the English language.

  • 06.07.2009 8:02 PM PDT

Noobs can't handle AR/Pistol Spawns.

1. You don't know EXACTLY how much is in ODST.
2. Uhm, if your buying this game for a beta then I laugh at you.
3. See number 1
4. Right, how dare Bungie punish people for breaking rules. Oh, wait, you can't get Recon can you?
5. Wait, you saw what Johnson looks like in Firefight? He might have fancy glasses, or a helmet (Halo 1 style with that little eye piece)

if knowledge is power and power corrupts, isn't knowledge therefore dangerous?

Johnson projects a nightvision filter onto his eyelids through sheer GAR.

or his hat and cigar triangulate things via laser beams.
then they make a grid in his eyes, and shamwow he wins.
or it's 500+ years in the future. i mean like, we have implants now, why night better ones later?

  • 06.07.2009 8:16 PM PDT

I see at as a 60$

I guess your easily confused then. The point is if the armor is unlocked by way of achievements (like security/katana) then Bungie cannot people from obtaining it. If you get all achievements you will have it. Anything said otherwise is a bunch of forum people just because. If Bungie has said something different link me up.

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...


Oh QQ some more, you're not going to stop anyone from buying it.

1. For a game you don't view as 60 dollars it sure does have a lot of features.

2. No one said you are going to buy it for the Reach beta,

3.Halo 3 ODST is not an expansion if you would read it is an additional side story WITH the multiplayer for H3, and also why would you have to buy an expansion?

4. Buying the game for the armor is not on my list, even if I was on "the list" I'd still buy it, this game looks interesting plus i get my maps for being lazy and not downloading the last few.

5 This proves this thread is nothing but troll.

-Halo 3 Content=FREE (WE BOUGHT HALO 3 FOR $60)

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

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 overWell, have you ever heard of down-pricing? You know, after a while, a game's price is reduced. So I am guessing after the beta, the price will be reduced. You didn't think about that, now did you? Think before you talk.

3.) Halo 3 ODST is the only expansion pack for a popular video game that costs 60$Well, the story wasn't intially going to be as robust and long, so it wasn't going to be $60. But it got bigger and bigger, and became a full story, deserving of a $60 title.

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.Well, the people on the "LIST", should have thought about what consequences might incur because of their actions. AKA Cheating, boosting, etc.

5.) Sgt. Johnson is unlockable in Firefight.
