No, not really. A short campaign and a nice little survival mode... no, that is not a reasonable buy compared to other full price games. Like Halo 3 for example.
I think the campaign won't be much shorter than the campaign in the previous two Halo games, which can also be beaten in one sitting.
I guess we will have to see about that. Everything I read so far gave me the firm impression it was never supposed to be a similar length to the prior halo campaigns.
The 4 Player Co-op and firefight won't be for everyone. Some people won't be into it, so I can see why they'd be upset. If they're that torn up about it and only want the game for the maps, they can wait until the maps go up on the marketplace.
People were totally ok with paying $40 when we thought it was just the campaign expansion + maps. Now that more stuff has been announced, do they honestly expect the price to stay the same?
All that's been announced in terms of more content is firefight, which does indeed look fun.

See going to have to disagree on this part at least. Going off your campaign history, your first play through of Halo 3 took 5 hours. From what I remember the campaign was slated to be around 3-5 hours long back when it was a lot smaller. Given it's probably grown at least slightly a 5 hour campaign isn't unlikely.
I didn't have internet installed in my house at the time of halo 3's release, I'd just moved. I think I got it about a month after, so that can't be right.
Anyhow, if I had been under the impression halo 3 took 5 hours to complete, that would make me feel negatively towards halo 3. Not positively about ODST by comparison!!!
The funny thing is, if someone had never bought Halo 3, this game would be awesome value for them. This title's value is so much geared towards it being stuffed with bonuses and incentives, its value really does depend on what you bought already.
