Hi peoplz

You know how Halo 3 ODST comes with 2 disks. One with Halo 3 ODST, And one with Halo 3 muiltiplayer, forge, ect. Its just missing campaign which im sure most people have already beaten that. Bungie could have just made a code for Mythic #2 to download online, but instead, they put it on a disk to give people a new disk to play on whose disks are scratched enough to get a few Disk was unreadable's here and their, or even freeze their Xbox! But no. Bungie gave you a disk that has everything you need to enjoy Halo 3 as it is. It even gives people who are offline all the maps. And Halo 3 is worth at least $30 (Today). And i think that is a REALLY good deal.
Do the math:

Halo 3 (Without Campaign): $20-30 (How many people still play Halo 3 today? Millions.)

Halo 3 ODST Campaign: $20

Halo 3 Heroic, Legendary, Mythic 1-2: $20-$25

Halo 3 ODST Fire fight: $10-$15

Halo 3 ODST Extras: $5-$10

Now add that all up:

Thats about $65-$100 worth of stuff.

Don't get me wrong, some of these prices might be wrong, But thats still a great deal.

He who dares wins


Halo 3 ODST Campaign: $20 Agreed

Halo 3 Heroic, Legendary, Mythic 1-2: $20-$25 Good price, but what about the people who already have the first 3

Halo 3 ODST Fire fight: $10-$15 I'd say $5 for this one, I mean it is only one gametype right

Halo 3 ODST Extras: $5-$10 Fair enough what ever they are

Disk price, shipping price, Buy Lukems a steak, ect.

People who already have mythic? Well what if your disk is scratched? Would you like to constantly switch disks just to play Mythic 2 and every other map pack? What about the people offline?

Lol. It doesn't cost 5$ per dis kto make and to ship. It's a few cents... A blank is almost worth nothing. And they ship A LOT of disks at a time.

The only problem is the fact I have to repay for Halo 3 multiplayer and the maps.

  • 06.16.2009 11:06 AM PDT

So, you want to hear a story eh? One about treasure hunters? Have I got a story for you!

Stop making threads about why it will cost $60. There are now like 100 of them

On the bright side, you can play Halo 3 that will load faster since their is no Campaign

"The national budget must be balanced. The public debt must be reduced. The arrogance of the authorities must be moderated and controlled. Payments to foreign governments must be reduced if the nation doesn't want to go bankrupt. People must again learn to work instead of living on public assistance." -Marcus Tullius Cicero, 55 B.C.

Do the math:

Ok, I'll do the math.

Halo 3 (Without Campaign): $20-30 I already have this so......$0.00

Halo 3 ODST Campaign: $20 Ok I'll agree with $20.00

Halo 3 Heroic, Legendary, Mythic 1-2: $20-$25 [i] Well, I already have the maps, except for Mythic part 2 so for the new maps I'll add $10.00


Halo 3 ODST Fire fight: $10-$15 Firefight I'll add $10.00

Halo 3 ODST Extras: $5-$10 I don't know what "extras" your talking about so.....$0.00

Now add that all up:

Adding it up for me, it's only worth $39.99, so $59.99 is a rip off.

But thats Your situation, Bungie has no way to tell who needs the maps or not. What if your Halo 3 disk was scratched beyond playing, and you didn't have Any of the maps because you were offline. Hmmm?

I never said it loads everything at once, if a disk has less content, it will load faster because of the lack of a file to load. it loads everything when you first get on, maps, forge, campaign (Which is a big file)

Yes, it is my situation. That's why I said adding it up for me makes it a rip-off. Bungie is not thinking of the people who have been loyal to them. Bungie and Microsoft are only thinking in terms of profits. So I am thinking in terms of a consumer who is looking out for my own best interest. Yes, it's a good deal for someone who does not have Halo 3, but it's a rip-off if you already own Halo 3 and have already bought all the maps. (Yes, I paid for the Heroic Maps.)

If my disk gets scratched then I will get a new one using Microsoft's Disk Replacement Program.
