Subject: Why Add the Bonus Disc?

So what the OP is saying is that people new to Halo should have to pay about £30 for Halo 3 and then £30 for halo odst to get halo 3 multiplayer and odst?

I dont care if youre mad or not.. doesnt particularly bother me. Back to the OP.. Why add the bonus disc at all? Why not just the ODST disc and DLC for new maps? Price it at $40 and everyone would happily buy it.

OP DOES NOT MEAN ORIGINAL POST. JUST SAY "TOPIC".

Anyway, I assume by the fact your "ignoring" my post, that you don't have a logical response to it? Because that means you lose. :)

Simple:

Because Halo ODST is not enought for 60$ release, so they added many GOOD thinks. 2200 Ms Points in Maps for Halo3 and Halo3 multiplayer and a new multiplayer: Firefight

60$ For ODST is a Joke, but 60$ for all these Adds On, is not

It is just marketing and Business

honestly....
because there are people that do not currently have access to the maps. it also decreases their loading time, and makes it more worth-while to buy the three new maps.
games are priced at $60 for single player campaign only. this one comes with up to four-man co-operative mode, and also includes Firefight, a mode new to the Halo universe as up to four friends defend themselves against infinite waves of Covenant enemies, while skulls turn on after each wave.
that alone is $60 worth.
don't give me "but the campaign is only 3-5 hours :'(" bull. that's if you rush through and dont take your time and explore the open world. ANY campaign could be done in 3-5 hours if you sit down and speed-run it, instead of really enjoying it.
the MM disc is a bonus.
there, i answered your question. now why don't you answer mine.

Actually no. I have not. And just because its illegal doesnt mean people dont do it.. look at illegal song downloads.. millions of people do it. Doesnt change the fact that its illegal. ANYWAYS.. back to the OP..

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

there. that's my question.

A "full" new 360 game..? Well probably never.. but half of one.. hmm, has it ever been done before?


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.


Sorry.. missed it. Thanks for directing me.

Well.. My whole point is.. for people who own Halo 3, $60 for ODST isnt exactly worth it. For people who dont own ODST. $60 is a STEAL! Sadly, the majority of us own Halo 3 already.

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.

I posted this earlier. I thought I answered this. They are licensed to sell them.

I already bought all the maps as DLC, except for Mythic as that was with Halo Wars.

I have succsesfully wasted 1600 points. Huzzah!

Sure, you could say I've had fun on the maps so far, but it is a little annoying.

But some of the majority who do have Halo 3 don't have Live.

I completely disagree.

A new campaign, co-op, firefight, and 3 new maps. That's more than a lot of new games.

Plus, you get the H1 pistol and you get to play as Johnson. The pistol and Avery should be enough for anybody.

Where are these #'s? The majority of Halo 3 owners, DONT have live? I need some fact sheets here.

you did answer that part.
but not the second part.
you say they have lisences to sell. not to buy.
we do not have lisences to sell. only to buy.
and what about amazon, where it goes from the company to guy A.
then guy A to guy B in the case of people selling games?

Not sure thats how it works but I would assume guy A has a legitimate business contract that allows him to sell this game (or he pays differences to company he got it from). Also.. youre trying to get me off topic so the thread will be locked. Not going to happen.. back on topic.

Why not treat Halo 3: ODST as its own game, put it on one disc, and forget the Halo 3 multiplayer? Add the new maps with a download code in the box like they did with Halo Wars.. Why would people want 2 copies of Halo 3 multiplayer? Its not Halo 3. If people dont own Halo 3 and want to play its multiplayer.. why not let them buy Halo 3. This would settle all the grievances with the price. It just doesnt make much sense.

Thats like saying.. when reach comes out we are going to give you 3 discs. One with Reach campaign and multiplayer, one with Halo 3 ODST campaign and firefight, and one with Halo 3 multiplayer and maps. And we are going to charge you $100. Why.. WHY would you need discs with games you already own on new discs.
Look you are lucky they are still making Halo games so shut up.

  • 06.19.2009 10:16 AM PDT

Buckle Up: It's makes it harder for the Covenant to suck you up.

The second disk is also for people who don't have LIVE and can't download the map packs. I have plenty of friends who don't have LIVE, but would love to have all the maps. Well, that second disk is for them. It's like the Halo 2 Multiplayer Map Pack Disk.
