60 bucks to play a short campaign and a "Horde" knockoff seems a bit excessive in my opinion. Seriously, I bought all of the map packs for Halo 3, Why the funk should I pay for them again!?!?!?! Heck, even map pack prices were jacked up (800 M$ points for 3 maps all started with Heroic maps do you remember the prices prior to it?) to maximize profits. All this greed grief M$ dumps on us (with Bungie studios acting as its mean mugged toadie) has led me to create my own top 5 list.....

1) Rent ODST from Blockbuster
2) Rent ODST from Hollywood video
3) Rent ODST from my homey who rents games out
4) Rent ODST from gamefly.com
5) Steal a copy of ODST from where everzzz

I already gave MS/Bungie $90 to keep up with H3 and now they want 60 more to play a F'n "expansion" GTFO with that nonsense

ya ok your sommewhat right. but bungie still has time to change the box art. why would bungie put you get recon on the box cover anyway, it makes no sence.

  • 06.07.2009 9:31 PM PDT

Wow you just owned all those guys.

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.
crackdown was the best GTA type game ever.

So... what if you didn't buy halo 3? Should you have to pay $60? There's no way of excluding certain people from the market. If it's too exspensive, don't buy it.

  • 06.07.2009 9:43 PM PDT

We can't assume anything about how Halo 3 ODST is going to turn out. It's months away and only a snippit of gameplay has been released at E3 09. The game to me looks like the same basis as Fallout 3 was (the free-roam stuff) which is an awesome game. So if you don't compare it to the other Halo games, it might just turn out to be the best game ever. Although losing the BR sucks

  • 06.07.2009 9:44 PM PDT

Self-proclaimed genius.
Roam the streets with a sign, "will love for false hope."

I view it as a $60 game not just because of the beta included. So, basically, point 1, 2, and 3 are all the same rant. Way to be. If you know about that information then how is it false advertising? Why do Elites, with no visual enhancement to their eyes, have a HUD? Why do ODSTs even have cooler visors than the Master Chief? Ever heard of something called "gameplay"? I'm pretty sure you're just an idiot.

-.-

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
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.

http://www.bungie.net/projects/odst/features.aspx go down to road to recon
You need a bungie.net account with a linked GT to unlock recon

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


$=Dollar

Dollar 60 doesnt make sense
60 Dollars does.

$9.99

That's pretty good for 2 hours of music without explosions and people yelling. I don't care if you steal it, but God does...

1) The game has changed considerably since we first learned of it, I would pay $60 for firefight right now. Schitt looks so cash.

2) A beta doesn't need to be free. It's any non-final version of a game. Pack-in betas are nothing new (Remember Crackdown?) and while it can be a selling point, I know that I for one would still buy the game without it. I intended to pay $60 for it before I even knew of Halo: Reach's existence.

3) By any definition of the world, it isn't an "expansion pack." It doesn't expand on the Halo 3 campaign, it adds to the multiplayer but also includes it in it's entirely, and the only other thing it has in common with H3 is the engine. This is more than an expansion pack.

4) They violated terms and conditions. They pay the price. People were complaining about false advertising when they learned that you couldn't unlock Recon normally in Halo 3, but somehow the world kept turning.

5) It's a skin. None of firefight is canon. I'm still gonna pre-order.

tl;dr u mad? CRAI SOME MORE!

5.) Masterchief can see in the dark, and yet he has a flashlight on his suit, and he CAN'T see in the dark in the game...

My point is...

SO?!

1) owning bots ain't "cash"

2) So now we can pay to do Bungies job. I figure with all the Data they will gather with our help charging to Beta test seems F'd in the A.

3)Bungie themselves came out and promoted it as an expansion. Mythic was a bonus for the fans who bought the game. Now it is a reason for them to overcharge.

4) Recon does not justify the extreme price hike. It's an expansion plus survival mode for $60

5)Pre-order??? more like rental dude.

U stupid? GO PAY $30 MORE FORE CONTENT YOU ALREADY HAVE!

BUNGIE first said it was an expansion , but then later changed it to a real game , because of all the new stuff added to it , I love it how people complain when the game isn't even out yet , it makes a good lulz just to watch spartan 357 have a freaking spasm over it.

  • 06.07.2009 10:46 PM PDT

i dont know if anyone already said this but you dont have to buy the game and its for entertainment purposes like all video games that you didnt make so why complain

  • 06.07.2009 10:51 PM PDT

Formally Rogue Spartan

CRY SOME MOAR

I am Katsu Kage, an assassin trained in the art of stealth. I was on a recon mission when I discovered a blue box hidden among some rubble. Once I entered the blue box it had taken me to a land far away. It was strange and fantastic! There I met PatikaVoom, the most beautiful woman I'd ever seen. She showed me this land, then returned with me to the blue box. She called it a TARDIS and seemed to know how to work it. We left together and have been on many adventures, with many more to come!

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.

My life on Bungie.net: 2004: Started visiting Bungie.net
7/07/06: Created my first Bungie.net account.
9/18/07: Created this account in order to link my gamertag

Top 5 things wrong with the original post:

1. The dollar symbol goes in front of the number (IE: $50.00, not 50.00$).

2. The Beta is a free add on, you are NOT paying for the Beta, you are paying for Halo 3: ODST.

3. I fail to see your point with number three... oh, wait, there is none...

4. Your guessing what they'll advertise? Jesus Christ your number four point is the stupidest thing I've ever heard... and I've been to the Halo: Reach forum...

5. Johnson is far too awesome to need those -blam!- goggles to see in the dark... Seriously, though, if your going to complain about realism in firefight you minus well complain that you have more than one life because that too is impossible...
