A few things to note...
1. This thread should have ended long ago. While it has been a source of entertainment for me to read through for the last 20 minutes or so, it has gotten old. This kind of bickering really makes me wish that people under the age of 17 aren't allowed internet access, and when they do finally turn that age then they must pass a test showing they are mature enough to participate in at least semi-intellectual conversation. Never gonna happen, but I can dream...can't I?
2. While a certain side of the argument is full of a greater amount of idiots than the other (take one guess which), continuing to argue is what these kinds of people feed on. You are only influencing their behavior. While it may be entertaining and infinitely satisfying to tear apart Mr. Mittensworth and his horrifyingly grammatically incorrect and seriously flawed arguments, it is only encouraging him (By the way...your name is Mr. Mittensworth? If you want to be taken seriously, you should have chosen a different name).
3. @ Mr. Mittensworth and the "It costs too much" Side: Get over it. Please. And go away. Accept the fact that Microsoft ultimately controls the price of any Halo title Bungie produces, because that is what it is - a fact. Also, stop saying that we are paying for the same map pack again because we aren't. We are paying for three new maps under the same name with a "Part 2" added to it (Longshore for one, I can't seem to remember the other two off the top of my head). Considering alot of other 360 games on the market that start retail at $60 that are incredible failures as games (Terminator Salvation to name one that would be for this audience), this isn't a bad deal. And finally - If you want to pay a lower price, pick it up on Craigslist, Ebay, or simply wait awhile and it will eventually drop in price. Or here is a BRILLIANT idea - Rent it! Renting a game for one day at Blockbuster costs 3 dollars. I would hope that ODST would be worth at least $3 to you.
4. @ Snakerunner: Please get over your "Faithful Fan" obsession. There is a difference in blind faith and faith. When someone has blind faith, you get the crazy religious zealots that like to blow up abortion clinics and perform goat sacrifices. When you have regular faith, you have normal people. I consider myself to be a faithful fan, and that doesn't mean that I agree with everything that Bungie does. However, there hasn't been a Halo game to date that I haven't been excited about, and I always shell out the extra money for the best edition of the game, just because that's what I want to do. It doesn't mean I have to think it is worth it. When I got Halo 3 I felt slightly cheated because they downgraded the graphics from the initial announcement trailer (in order to fit the style of the previous games). However, I would have preferred a more gritty and realistic Halo. I also didn't like that they made it almost impossible to get out of the Halo 3 multiplayer maps, as I enjoyed doing that in my free time in Halo 2 (never during matchmaking though, just to be clear). That being said, thank you for telling the facts.
And...I'm done with my rant...I think. There could have been things I forgot to yell about, who knows. Though I know the majority of my efforts here are fruitless, as most people won't want to read the mass amounts of text I just produced. But I can only hope that my massive amounts of text will insight fear into those slayers of the English language and make them run away from here, because it is getting old and is REALLY making me not want to come to the Bungie forums anymore.
You should be a Preacher.
