  • Subject: why are the more faithfull fans getting the bad deal?

I believe there was a double negative a few posts back teacher. Extra credit I can has it?

I'm bored so here's my $.02. I do not feel that Halo 3: ODST is worth paying $60 so I will not buy it at that price. I believe that is a more effective way to lower the price than complaining about it on the internet. I may be wrong but I'm fine with that. I'm content with waiting for a more reasonable price point before I "drop".

We just need to instigate more elitism and Mythic shenanigans.

I think that it should be $60. Not because it includes Halo 3 multiplayer and all of the maps, but because it is worth it on its own.

Decent campaign=$25-$30
Firefight=$20-$25
Mythic Map pack II=$10
recon armor= $0
Old maps=$0
Halo 3 multiplayer=$0


If I didn't think the new content was worth the money, I wouldn't buy the game, and neither would you. If they were considering the old maps and Halo 3 multiplayer to be part of the price, they would have to offer the option of buying just the new content, or getting all of it.

How about we be grateful that Bungie made another Halo game.


Best statement I've seen today.

We could have some other developer creating the game for us and it would probably be sub-par at best.

I have also purchased all the map packs too but I'm getting ODST for the campaign,the other stuff is just an added bonus in my opinion.

Guess what? Saying that makes you a non-faithful fan.


no it makes me a faithful fan that feels cheated
No, a faithful fan doesn't feel cheated, he supports the company and agrees with them.
No thats a fanboy

Look, if they really wanted to they could have changed that... I've lost respect for Bungie... but since it's Halo I'll buy it... I -blam!- hate Bungie. But I love thier games.


It's not Bungie's fault at all don't blame them. If you have to blame someone blame Microsoft.

Heres what it should have been:

ODST campaign- $15
Firefight-$10-$15(Pending how many FF maps we get)
Mythic map pack 2-$10

Total= $35 - $45

I would happily pay for the above, but $60 dollars for all that and all of H3 DLC I already payed for is BS.

oh please people shut up about the -blam!- price!

it's not going to change... that's it, now get over it

1. microsoft doesn't care
2. bungie doesn't care
3. nobody cares

no one cares that you have to spend $60 bucks on a game, this is the real world... if you want something good your going to have to pay for it.

could moderators lock any threads regarding the price of this game from now on?


I wouldn't say no one cares, since there are so many topics made about this. I'd say you definitely don't care, which is fine.

Microsoft does care, or it wouldn't have released a press release explaining the price change. Unfortunately, the information comes for too late to stop the flow of annoyance by those who still think they're getting jipped.

Lastly, I agree with you, and wish mods would lock any price-related threads. But until that beautiful day filled with sunshine, we have only this choice: Don't read them.

Think of it this way - You need an Xbox LIVE connection to play the downloaded maps anyway, the disk with the maps on with ODST has all of the maps available for offline or LAN play...

seh looks like a alen anyway

You know what is funny? That everyone who is saying that the price is bull-blam!- and that they are not gonna buy, will probably buy it. Every one who is a loyal Halo fan will spend the $60. Bungie did give us loyal fans something, 3 (soon to be 4) kick-ass games that are only available to us lovely XBOX owners. So please whiners, don't be so damn greedy and go do what Bungie created Halo for, having fun.

Bungie's said that ODST has grown bigger than they thought it would. Considering it includes a $10.00 map pack, Firefight, a large campaign, and a Halo 3 disk, I'd say this is still a deal.

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).

if bungie priced halo odst at $1000 should i still think they are being fair and buy their game?
No, even I, as a faithful fan, would lose faith. But, if you lose faith, you can not continue to call yourself a faithful fan.


youre an idiot


agreed! Insert any religious war to argue why this logic is flawed. Blind faith is far more dangerous than bullets. We, the consumer, are here to support in some much as the product is worthy. Once we lose that objectiveness Bungie loses their motivation to produce a game at the or above the standard we expect. Supply and demand my dear friend. Faith is not an argument here it serve only to muddy the waters of this discussion with a centuries old issue of extremism.

I am reularg.

Are you serious this deal is great. Just the ODST open world and survival mode are worth 60 dollars. If you get ga,es regularly and have an X-Box chances are you can afford this game. Stop being cheap or just don't buy it. Think about it this way the more money you give to Bungie the easier it will be for them to make more games.

Ye have little faith. Believe. ODST. September 22, 2009.

You're cheap and pathetic.

Lolular!

Kyletacular-Killtacular-get it?

Those that payed for the maps and get ODST should then get their money back. But I think microsoft is doing this so those without xbox live can get them.
