Would it be wise of Bungie to Sell only the ODST Disk? Don't sell us the Halo 3 replica disk. We just pay for ODST content and buy the Maps on the Marketplace? Some of us have the ability to do that and we could do that. Sure you are still probably going to pay 60 dollars ultimatly to Microsoft and/or Bungie. (((( 40 for the game and 20 for the Points Card)))) but you will have left over points to buy other things so it won't be totally bad.


EDIT-- This will not replace ODST but will be like a Limited Edition. You don't get any stuff. I guess it can be called War Rations pack.

Definitely. I don't personally think that 60 dollars is fair, but it can be argued both ways. Anyhow, we are being force to pay 20 bucks for stuff that is included that we may not want. For example, all those maps. I've already got Halo 3, and I would just wait for the new mythic maps to come out on market place. And those maps aren't worth 20 bucks alone, which means we are paying for the Reach Beta, which is ridiculous, especially given the fact that we can't choose whether we want it or not.

It's the same way I feel. Bungie will get paid no matter how it's sells their maps. I think this way, you get what you want at a reasonable price.

whelp, look at it this way:
ODST campaign: $40 firfight: $20
everything else: bonus
if you think about it, some games are only campaign and go for $60. this has campaign and firefight, the rest is just a bonus.
and the new(er) mythic maps aren't coming out on marketplace...

Of course the new(er) mythic maps are coming out on the marketplace, how stupid would Bungie be to only have them with ODST. It's the same as the first half of the mythic maps that came with Halo Wars, then to the marketplace later.

A campaign experiece like that would be about 20 dollars. And Firefight would be around 15 dollars. Where is the other 25 going? Sure you could take 10 out for production and profit is already calucated into all the seperate areas. You only payed about 10 bucks for the maps why pay more?

I like the idea. Just make a standalone "budget" version that only includes ODST for about $30-40 dollars. The full version with all the bonus features, is the $60 version.

60 dollars is not a lot of money we all like halo if it were 90 dollars you will still buy it halo is awesome and bungie knows that besides the more money they get the better the games are like halo reach so pay them and shut up about 60 dollars

  • 06.11.2009 11:31 AM PDT

Well I guess I better put some pants on.

I feel like I'm gonna break this thing!

So still pay $60 to have less? Erm, no thanks.

Not all of us have $60 just laying around buddy.

I'm pretty sure that Microsoft is the only one that sets the prices, bungie has nothing to do with it.

No, You really don't know how to read do you? I said you pay 40 to the game and you pay 20 for a points card. The card can be used for other things with the left over 800 points so you still are paying 60 bucks but not for stuff you don't need.

I think spartan11 is confused, Bungie would NEVER put out maps that could not be bought from the marketplace. So don't worry, you don't need ODST for the new maps. But the game is going to rock, so what the hell, you might as well buy it.

I personally think that this could focus on some of us less fortunate to not have a job especially during this economic hard ship. Jobs are a rarity like the mystical pony of Vall Halla. JK. . . .
