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."

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


Actually not once yet. And it doesnt matter coming from someone who doesnt work at Bungie or MS.

The reason they did this is for people without xbox live can still have the maps just because they live in a place where they can't get internet or they can't afford Xbox Live doesn't mean that they don't deserve to have fun on new maps. Some of my friends have Xbox Live and some of them don't and I hung out with one of my friends this weekend. His name is Garret and he's a diehard Halo fan, but living out in the country he has no acess to xbox live.He came over to my house and he was so happy that he could play on the new xbox maps. I, think that this is a great idea for more than just that reason every ones halo games are getting scratched and dying so this is a way for them not to have to pay the 15$ for a new game. they already own.(Ironically what your complaining about is the extra money which soon most of theese people will have to pay for a new halo anyways.) You wanted a reason why and this is the reason in my opinion and hey if they want to charge you extra money for a great halo game and your whining about it your not really a Halo fan.

Once again.. Im not complaining about the price. Just looking for some justification. 3 maps are not worth the difference in price from a campaign only game to a campaign only game plus 3 maps priced at $60. And I am a halo fan.. hence why I own Halo 3 already and dont need a second copy of the same disc. People that think you have to dish out any amount of money to game creators that they ask for new games to be a fan are just stupid. That is a ridiculous claim. If reach comes out with a $4000 price tag and you dont pay it, that makes you not a fan? Smart..

That would be because employees and moderators use this site. That is the PURPOSE of this site.. to discuss things Halo related and for them to get feedback on their products.

"There are those who said this day would never come. What are they to say now?"

- In support for Halo 2's final days of Xbox Live.

You also could include NXE download game to HDD, which wasn't available to originally do on the Halo 3 Disc...

Yeah.. 2 threads and 300 responses. Im sure it will die. No the only thing dying in here is you.. reported.


Yay! More whiny-ass teens. Actually, you're probably not even a teenager. FRom what I can tell from your grammar, spelling, and logic.... I'd say you're about 9 years old.

Reporting anybody with a differing opinion isn't grounds for a report.

Now to my actual point; it would be $60 no matter what. In the amount of time from when M$ informed them of the price tag, they really didn't have enough time to create new content. Even if we didn't get the second disc, it would be what, about $50. Then, since you didn't have the maps, you'd have to pay $10 more for MMP2. That adds up to... let's see... BY THE ANCIENTS!

$60!

maps you already have to pay 10$ for add the price of a new halo 3 game for some It already evens out. Also your calling me stupid I never said that i'd pay 4,000 dollars for a new halo game. That was a terrible comparison thats like calling me a murderer for stepping on a bug. People have given you a ton of responses already and you ignore them wanting a bungie employee your behavior doesn't deserve a response from a moderator or bungie employee.

Wow another intelligent response. Yeah, my spelling is terrible. You, sir, are an idiot. And if you'd go through the last few pages you would see that he was trolling this thread. I doubt you understand what that means. To think I am 9 years old shows how brilliant you actually are. You also do not work for Bungie or MS.. you really have no idea why they priced it the way they did.

but you aren't a bungie employee so you can't say what the purpose of the site is.
that's pretty much your logic.
dude. there are people who do something called LAN. are you following me? good.
now, some of these people don't have LIVE. so how are they supposed to get the maps?
next up: i know a guy. he has halo 3. however, his parents won't let him buy the maps because they think putting a credit card on the account will steal their soul or something. and he doesn't have the money. why doesn't he? he's saving it so he can go buy ODST and get all of them.
now then: forums: used to discuss whatever that forum is about with that community. not just employees of whatever site your on and ignore everyone else. if you want their response, PM them. why? because if the community's several reasons why aren't good enough for you, PM them. or look at it like this. get ODST, sell halo 3.
not good enough for you? then here's a famous quote for you to chew on:
no one is making you buy it
i'm done with this flame war. if you can't accept a thousand right answers from a thousand right sources, and instead only one answer from only one source, you need to open your mind.

That's true. But, like Google, logic serves us well. When was the last time you saw a Full, New Release, 360 game for less than $60?

Anyway, when Bungie first announced it probably wouldn't be full-priced, they alluded to a $50~ price tag. Tag on another $10 for MMP2, you've got a $60 price tag.

This OP is rather fun.

have to make me contradict myself don't you?

guess Gamestop, Ebay, and anyone else who buys and sells used games have to shut down.
it's illegal to claim you made it and sell it. otherwise the above would have been sued a loong time ago.

Wow. You do realize legitimate business have to have licenses to sell other peoples products. MS has contracts with companies to sell their games.. So do legitimate sellers on ebay.

It IS a full game. It wasn't originally, but the game has changed. Halo 3 is a full game, and what does it have that ODST doesn't? ODST has everything Halo 3 has in addition to firefight. So, in theory, IT SHOULD COST MORE.

ahh but here's my question. you aren't avoiding this that easily. no until you explain one thing:
if it's illegal to sell games back to gamestop, and they even market "we buy used games", how come they have'n't been shut down?
now i'm actually trying to have a logical debate with you
