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

the one who jokes to much

1 im glad bungie still has recon kept the black listed people it makes them pay for making stupid choices such as modding
2 odst is $60 because thats how the devolopers view its worth, the comment Bungie made was months ago Halo 3:ODST has grown past its expectations as just a expasion pack .
3 who are you to decide what Bungie has done wrong with the game that is for the people to decide what they think is wrong with the game not one person.
4 If you dont like the cost then dont by the game simple as that.

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.

Bungie said they thought it was just going to be an expansion, that doesn't mean it is now. It has a full multiplayer, even if it is just Halo 3 with new maps. It has a full campaign and a pretty big coop mode. The beta doesn't cost money, thats paid for when they get you to buy Reach.

If you don't like it don't buy it. Bugie obviously put a lot of work into Halo 3: ODST.

Does anyone even read these?

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.
No. Get your facts right before you complain.

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...
It's just a game for -blam!- sake, why is it so damn important.

so i fail to see why its not worth $60, hell i would pay $100 for it

Bungie is bringing a cool Free Roam map, and get this there ading a horde mode (Firefight) plus there being generous enough to give us a Beta of a game which comes out next year, so in my opinion your just cheap if you think $60 is too much

EDIT: not to mention there throwing in 3 new multiplayer maps for halo 3 practically for free

so thats

1 full game
3 maps worth $10

so yea stop being cheap

Nothing is so embarrassing as watching someone do something that you said could never be done.

What if they put 'You can get Recon! Only if your not on the list!'

I've made Johnson become an infected marine, although you have to knock him unconscious before you enter the room to kill 343 Guilty, then when that is done. He'll be just outside the room. If he gets knocked unconscious an infection form will have his body. :P

Quite funny indeed.

Why don't you level 50's out there, when you finally decide to apply for colleges...why don't you put that you were a level 50 on your application. And put it on your job resume, too. See how much it matters, and how much people care.

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.

well put.
i want to expand on number 5.
they didn't put him in to "ruin" the game play. i don't think how you look to other characters could possibly affect YOUR playing the game when everything else is the same. and he was put in there to say, here you go, have some fun we know you guys like Johnson.
you're complaint about him being in firefight is so weak and unwarranted.


people like You ( as in the OP) piss me off. you have never even played the game, yet you are judging it as if you have played the entire game, several times, and played through the extra modes for months. but guess what! you have only barely even seen the game.

it may be an expansion pack but not only is it stand alone, but it has a full story driven campaign, with massive exploration possibilities, and it has a multi-player mode, firefight, for co-op covenant killing action, that large numbers of fans have wanted. AND it comes with the full multi-player portion of halo 3. that would mean forge, all maps, probably even theater and all that comes with it. that sounds like your getting more then a full game to me.
it sounds like you are getting ODST and most of halo 3. so lets call it a game and a half.

and you cant say that ODST isn't a full game because it doesn't have competitive multi-player.
look at bioshock. no multi-player at all.

so please take your closed minded hate elsewhere.

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

Dollar 60 doesnt make sense
60 Dollars does.

lol, I didn't know you could re-write the rules of...um...writing. Have fun starting the revolution, though.

Umm Euro's symbol (can't be used on Bungie.net, have to stick to "e") for example comes after the amoung of money like 20e. At least in Finnish, i guess in some other languages too. So it's easy to make a mistake conserning $ placement. Me, i happily write it after the number every time. And everyone understands what i mean just fine. Revolution complete. Lol.
And it's just money, so it's not a big deal.

Oh and you don't pay for Reach Beta, buying ODST gives an INVITATION to the beta as bonus. Sure you need the disc to get the Beta but think it as proof you're invited.

NONE of the reasons you stated are worth griping about. If you truly have a problem with all that (especially the last one) then you really need to get a life.

Also,its been said 100 times,but I'll say it again

Don't like it?
Don't buy it.

IF YOU DONT WANT TO PAY FOR IT AND YOU DONT LIKE IT... DONT BUY IT!

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.

1: Deal with it.

2: Cry moar plz

3:Cry moooooar plzz

4: Cheaters dont get recon

5:ODST´s are not robots. nor is Johnson

maybe REACH will work as a add-on if you buy the game so you only need 1 cd. btw i will buy it even if it cost 80$. halo is the best game ever.

You realize that its just a game mode not freaking real life right? originally ODSTs were the only characters yea Johnson is there and the HUD won't just change cuz of that *HE IS A GAMEPLAY CHARACTER* Here is 3 game rules: 1: play the game and have fun! 2:Enjoy it!
3: Do not complain about it just cause there is minor details you don't like.

That one reason being 'I don't want to pay for the effort put into this game.'

  • 06.08.2009 4:37 PM PDT

1. Microsoft's Fault, not Bungie's.
2. Yet again, Micro$oft.
3. I'd say its well worth it. Besides, it's 60$ because of the damned recession.
4. I have to agree on this one, because I'm on this 'List' as you so incorrectly put it. I'm all for playing ODST, not a stupid armour that isn't worth nothing but e-penor reputation.
5. Im sure I've seen Johnson with a eye-piece thats looks almost the same as Vegeta's on Halo 2. Besides, I'd love to play Johnson.

Stop picking faults from a game you havent even played yet. Every game has faults, thats life.
