They arent bonuses and incentives if you pay for them. And Ive owned the same Halo 3 disc since it came out.. and no problems. It makes sense if you have a damaged copy of the Halo 3 disc, but for the majority of people who are playing right now (Over 1 million unique players online every DAY) it doesnt help them one bit. So I will own 2 copies of the same game. 1 with the campaign and multiplayer, and 1 with just the multiplayer. And I will have paid for BOTH.


..... ur thtupid


rofl im joking, ok?


ok..? troll.. reported.

I think you don't understand where I'm coming from....

I'm saying, this was their intention all along, there is no chance they would make a compromise on it. It is not to their benefit. MS wants the game to go for full price.

Beware Qbix89! That master ninja will lay the smackdown on your troll thread!

btw i've never liked your threads. not that thier bad but....you kind of put what everyone has already posted.

  • 06.19.2009 9:05 AM PDT

And you dont understand where Im coming from. I understand MS sets prices.. but there would be a riot in the streets if the ODST game (campaign + firefight) by itself was $60 alone. So, they added a disc that you already owned into the package to make people feel like they are getting more for their money. Which technically they are, unless you own the Halo 3 disc already.. which EVERYONE does.

and noobs.. its too late. Youve been reported. Several times.

i don't get it.

(if you notice im a little slow XD)

  • 06.19.2009 9:11 AM PDT

So what? You think by calling them out you will change their mind!?

The question is, why add the bonus disc. The answer, microsoft's eternal greed. What else is there to say?

Im not calling them out. Once again.. Im not complaining. Im wondering why people need 2 copies of the same thing. And if anyone can answer that Im right here.

They don't. That's the crux of your complaint. Yes, complaint. You're not wondering, because the question you're asking is rhetorical.

Subject: Why Add the Bonus Disc? Please READ OP before posting.

The strongest Rivals are also the strongest allies.

why no download code.

because the cheapass ppl who dont relize there ruining lives, will pull the same -blam!- they did with halo wars. (get code, return game, get money back.)

I believe the last three Mythic Maps (Citadel, Heretic, and Longshore) might be Halo 3: ODST exclusive, but I could have heard wrong.

They dont what...? And I am wondering.. and still wondering btw.

And as for the code for the new maps.. ok fine. Put them on the Marketplace for DLC like every other map pack.

Of course it was rhetorical!

Are you telling me you don't know the answer to the question of 'do I need a second copy of the same game'?

  • 06.19.2009 9:24 AM PDT

Im just waiting for someone to respond with an honest response... something like "well the reason you are paying for another copy of halo 3 is because in order to play ODST we want you to pay as much money as possible so we are putting more bonus features in the game (whether you own them or not). This way we feel better about charging $60 even though its probably way overpriced."

But the thing is, that is the reason. Now, if you're expecting someone from Bungie or Microsoft to come out and say it, I think you'll be waiting a long time.

I think you've been told several times in this thread actually.

Well thats how these things go.. this is a forum for discussing things. Nothing better than an honest company. Just giving them a chance here.
