Thank you sir, that was an epic rendition of this topic.


Posted by: Xx KNOX xX
and how!

1. Shut your ungrateful mouth. The project initially started as a small expansion and as they saw the opportunities they made it into a much bigger thing.

2. BE HAPPY YOU GET A CHANCE TO PLAY THE GOD DAMNED GAME EARLY! Have you seen the amount of people that whine about not getting a Halo 3: ODST demo/beta? And of course you still have to pay for it after it is over...you don't get your money back as you leave Six Flags now do you? Dumbass.

3. Halo 3: ODST is the only expansion pack for a popular game that features an entirely reworked game, 100% brand new environment, and a 100% new to the franchise game mode.

4. If you did something to get yourself banned from Recon, then you are a complete idiot that probably doesn't deserve it. So does that mean that if a firearms store has a sale and a convicted felon is restricted from purchasing firearms that it is false advertising?

5. Multiplayer. Doesn't. Have. To. Make. Sense.

All in all, you are a trolling moron.

To me this has been disscused more than it should be. If you don't like the price wait till it becomes a 'Greatest Hit' and buy it for $20.

Halopedia -- The Definitive Source for Halo information

Where was it stated that the Idiot list could not get recon in ODST?

  • 06.07.2009 11:25 PM PDT

That sir was stated ALONG time ago. They said that if you were put on the list you can NEVER have recon.

  • 06.07.2009 11:26 PM PDT

I bet every damn one here will buy the game anyway, if you don't why on earth are you here on this forum, go play ps3... And this is for all the guys who don't have the chance of the map packs and all that because they don't have LIVE. I agree when you say it is wrong to buy all the -blam!- all over again, but seriously i don't mind having a new halo 3, only with three new maps, i would pay anything just for that. And the Halo 3:ODST campaign is bigger and newer and you get firefight an everlasting battle against the covenant, something i would buy much more than $60 for. Jeez there are so many people around here complaining about stuff they don't even know anything of. Bungie - you know the one you got banned by, has posted a new project page only for those noobs who don't understand a -blam!- of it, and posted several times on updates why it costs $60.

I don't remember bungie specifically stating that being on the idiot list made you recon-exempt when unlocking the vidmasters.

If the way I believe the idiot list works (that is, set flags on the Halo 3 server), simply unlocking the last few vidmasters offline (whatever they may be) wouldn't leave ODST with a server to communicate with, and the achievements' task would take over, unlocking you Recon.

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...

1) this expansion is bigger than most games my friend and i sure am more excited about this expansion than most games coming out.

2) So what lets look at all it comes with. Firefight with new firefight specific maps, open world campaign with 4 player co op, Halo: Reach beta, SGT. Johnson as a playable character, and the rest of the mythic map packs along with the classic features in Halo such as skulls, Easter eggs and theater mode. That's a big -blam!- bundle.

3)This is basically the same thing you said in question one -_-.

4)Ya of course they are banned from getting recon even when the game comes out. If they did something bad enough to get banned from the recon list they deserve to stay there.

5) It's a bonus, an extra it doesn't have to make sense it's like the golden lancer in Gears of War 2 that makes no sense if you think about it also.

  • 06.07.2009 11:32 PM PDT

I am flatterd that you botherd to look at my signature.

dosent ODST come with all the map packs?.... thats quite a bonus for those people who dident/couldent get them origenally..

and it's for people that want to buy it.. you don't like it don't buy it.. simple(i know i am like the fith mllionth person to say that)

and it's another campaign.. that there is roughly worth $50-$40 and then there is fire fight then there is the beta for reach and the new maps... new maps alone cost $10

i think we are getting a good deal.. and multi player never was accurate to the main story...
so i see no harm in play as sarge in a multi player game type...(wich is just like customs)

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

Dollar 60 doesnt make sense
60 Dollars does.

Really? Just... really?
$60 is read "sixty dollars"

You can rent to play the Beta seeing there is no code needed to play.

Half of what you pay for is Disc 2. Who here doesn't have the maps already?

You will be paying $30 for maps you already have when MS/Bungie could have easily made ODST standalone and make us get mythic pack 2 from the Market Place. Originally Mythic 2 was gonna be shipped with the game as an extrra incentive to get ODST. Instead they threw in all the DLC maps onto an unnescessary disc 2 (unless you don't have the other maps) and YOU WILL PAY $30 for maps you already have.

I will rent it, beat campaign, try firefight and then go back to Horde on Hidden Fronts which truly is an expansion.....Then I will DL Mythic 2, rent ODST again for the Beta and saved $40 doing so.

I hope you enjoy getting ripped off as much as you enjoy ODST. Don't expect a reach around from Bungie though.

Clearly your english isn't very good... "$60" is how you say "Sixty dollars"

And your arguement is flawed. Sure, if it was just the campagin then it should be less then $60, but you also get firefight and the ENTIRE halo 3 multiplayer... If your crying about it so much no one is forcing you to buy it...

:) I've preordered, good work Bungie

Actually when you unlock the 7 vidmaster achievements, you have to log on to Bungie.net and active Recon in a sense, so doing it offline won't work.

But just to make things clear, if you got put on the perma-ban list you deserve to be there, and you definetly don't deserve recon. If you were xp banned of matchmaking ban, then Bungie considers ur punishment has already been served, so you are still able.

Finally, once ODST hits shelves, Recon is going to become the new hyabusa, and EVERYONE will use... It will be so common that it will loose every essence of awesome... I'm sticking with security :P

Do not = don't
Can not = can't
Will not = won't

You're a total idiot SGT. Johnson isn't a robot, hes immune to the flood due to an extremely rare condition from plasma exposure. read the books.
