I thought that you just put the second disc in and downloaded the maps to Halo 3, like the Halo 2 expansion discs. I didn't know that it was just a multiplayer disc with three maps on it.

This will help with sales, many people have not play as an ODST, so as an added bonus, Microsoft and Bungie put the last three maps of the Mythic map Pack in ODST so more people will buy ODST.

Trust me.. I know it will help with sales. But a lot of their fans are repeat customers, who you should be treating with respect and fairness.. Making them purchase something they already own in order to play their new game is not fair. Period.

the second disk contains ALL OF THE MULTIPLAYER MAPS. ]

and people that dont have live would benefit from getting the second disk so they can have all of the DLC.

Thats why I said add a maps code in the ODST box like they did with Halo Wars. Read OP.


And people who DON'T have access to Xbox Live can't use those codes since it requires Live to use.

Exactly.

YET you are still complaining, the price is what it is, no amount of complaining is going to change that. we are all lucky that Bungie didn't stop making great games

And what purpose does that serve? Is the Halo 3 disc you have now, not the exact same thing as the bonus disc that comes with ODST? And.. helmet? Really?
You are aware of just how much the Legendary edition of Halo 3 went down to right? It was down to forty-five dollars at one point with a special deal. And no, its not the exact same thing, its a completely different campaign and it has three less maps. Maps generally cost around 10 dollars anyways and then theres the fact that I'm not incredibly cheap that I feel the need to complain about how a game is priced the same as the rest of the games that come out these days.

i got mine for 20 bucks brand new.

  • 06.19.2009 11:41 AM PDT

I would rather have it this way.
Then I have a full 100 slots for custom variants and not only 87.

  • 06.19.2009 11:45 AM PDT

Yes that is worth $30 right there

Yes, I'm the guy who had the Flood admit to being furries.

So they don't have to put an extra 300 MB on their hard drive and having it all on one disc is much more organized and a gift to players who did not get a lot of the DLC.

They wouldn't do that for Reach. It's going to be its own game.

wow, this is still going on?
weird.
anyway OP, you have gotten your answer more times than i can count on my hands and feet, yet you still keep asking.
if it really bothers you, go here.
THEY are the ones in charge of the pricing.
and if the 20+ explanations aren't enough for you, no one is making you buy it, get over it, don't buy it, or wait for price drop.

Keep in mind it doesn't matter what format it comes in. Having it as a download code will not make it any cheaper.

What is the best way to move up in skill level? I have heard that you move up quicker in Ranked matches but I don't seem to be moving anywhere..


Fail :D

Posted by: Homeboyd903
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.

Brilliant! Make 2 versions.. 1 for those who dont have live and one for those who do. 1 version has 1 disc with campaign, firefight, and code for maps for $40 or something.. and the other has everything for $60. ITS SETTLED!


i get your point

ok. here's a marvelous idea.
call MS. or Gamestop. or google it.
it isn't illegal.
i will happily admit i'm wrong if you can find me official evidence that it is illegal.
hell, i'll start backing you up on this.
