Ok maybe i am dumb, or misreading it but I am guessing that you want me to read this part below

Q. What's up with the two discs for Halo 3: ODST? I'm confused. Explain how the two discs work, please.

But again that part does not say anything about the matchmaking or forge!!!


You can use this disc to play the multiplayer that you're experiencing via Halo 3 right now.

93% of statistics are lies. Formerly Xfire Grunt. Unfortunately, you can't change the WLID for your BNET account, so I had to create an alternate account. My other WLID was spam city (and it was my e-mail account too).

Yeah I'm betting these maps will go online because otherwise they probably can't be required for MM....

Because then there would be a massive drop in the populations for play lists......

Anyways the smart idea is to buy this game, on ebay for $30 to $40. Whenever a game comes out with a primarily SP campaign it goes really cheap on Ebay like $20 to $30 really fast. Considering ODST has some MP, i'm looking at $30 to $40, quick and easy way. Unfortunately for Microsoft they get $0 from people who do this, but I don't really care.

They don't care about the playlists, this is the last Halo 3 add on anyways. There's no more money to be made from MP.

I see so they are fine with killing off a large portion of the MP players? That makes perfect sense....

Why not? It's not like they need them to buy more H3 Maps.

Well the above won't be a problem if you buy the game on day 1 Instead of being cheap and buying when it's cheaper.

Also, IF you rent ODST you won't get both disks anyways. Only the ODST disk. At least that would make sense, cause lot's of movies have two disks but when you rent them, you only get the movie disk. At least, in Canada..

Other then Mythic Part 2 I somehow doubt you would need the second disc anyways.

Wayne Jarvis, Attorney at Law; I have a responsibility to tell you that there is no candy in this office.

You download them off of the disk, like the multiplayer map disk they released for Halo 2.

LOL. MS isn't that dumb. Why do you think you couldn't rent that? You play it from the disk. Why include the disk otherwise?

They're not being dumb, that's what you do. Sure, some people may pass the disc around, but they're not worried about that. The way the game works, they'd need to be downloaded from the disc onto your HDD.

Besides, Microsoft has done this many times before, even just recently with Gears of War.

MS doesn't own Gears of War, Epic does. MS owns Halo.

You know what? Nevermind. You clearly don't even know what you're talking about. You don't understand how Halo works, you don't know about Microsoft, and you're clearly not going to listen to reason.

By the way, they'd probably only include the single disc in rentable versions.

If I'm right(not 100$ sure) the second disk acts as both a DLC disk(much like /halo 2's disks that contain all map packs but the Tombstone and Desolation one), and Halo 3's multiplayer. In any case, most places that rent out games don't rent out bonus disks unless you have to have them in order to play the actual game.
