1) Selling games that you've purchased is entirely legal. Under these circumstances it is, at least.

2) Microsoft would probaly make you pay $60 for it with or without the multiplayer.

Throw in the exclusive DLC, and its actually a good deal, imo. Not everyone still has their halo 3 disks, some peoples disks are scratched so they cant open certain maps, some people dont have live but still want all the DLC. Theres plenty of reasons to include the multiplayer, just because none of them apply to you doesnt mean they dont apply to anyone else.


hi! infini7y member me :D

And like I said.. for those people its a good deal. Just because its a good deal for you doesnt mean it is for everyone else.. (or anyone else for that matter)

This world can be ugly, but isn't it beautiful?

One tiny thing: Players without XBL want the second disc, because it has the Halo 3 maps that they can't get because they don't have XBL.

Your logic is flawed.

I'm actually glad that bungie are including the disc which includes Halo 3 Multiplayer, I've played my copy of Halo 3 so much that the middle of the disc has a few cracks and im sure a piece of plastic has fallen off at some point, but the game still plays and I want to keep it that way for when I want to play campaign.

Yes.. if youre halo 3 disc is scratched.. or broken.. this is an AWESOME deal. If, however, it works fine... this is not the best deal.

Because then they wouldnt have to charge $60 since you are getting one disc, with 1 campaign, and firefight. The new maps on a code. The reason they are charging $60 is because you are getting the mulltiplayer disc as well. Well, everyone on the planet owns that already, ESPECIALLY the people that are going to buy ODST.

Yes, but not every Halo 3 owner that likes multiplayer has Live or has bought all the maps.


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


If they dont have live there is no way they would ever get the newer halo 3 maps. Your response made no sense at all.

  • 06.19.2009 2:19 PM PDT

Thats why you get live.

My h3 disk is getting pretty close to melting. I'm glad they're throwing in the extra H3 Multiplayer disk.

Not to mention; What if the buyer hasn't even bought Halo 3 yet?

Who the hell is going to buy ODST that doesnt have Halo 3? That has to be a handful of people at best.. they need to look out for the majority not the minority..

Well then you don't have to sell it publicly. If you have a life, you should have some real life friends that play Xbox Live. Sell the disc to them, you won't go to jail for that. Or you could just sell it to GameStop.

It's more than that. And they need to appeal to everyone. Include the people who aren't allowed to purchase stuff on XBL, and the number increases.

because this way we can delete all the DLC maps we have and just use that disk, plus some people like me have a really scratched disk that some times wont play a map or two, and I really don't wanna buy halo 3 again, so this is a great deal
also what about the people who never had Halo 3 but get ODST? I think they deserve the Halo 3 multiplayer

We just need to instigate more elitism and Mythic shenanigans.

The only concern I have about price is whether or not they are including Halo 3 multiplayer and the old maps in the price. If they are saying that ODST campaign, and Firefight mode together is worth $50, and then the new maps are worth $10, I will happily buy the game. If it is because of the Halo 3 multiplayer and maps that the price is $60, then I won't be happy.

I don't mind them including all of the 'old' maps, and the multiplayer as a bonus, but if they are making us pay for it again, then that is ridiculous.

The thing is though, the majority of people in this thread disagree with you.

And, microsoft would probaly make ODST $60 without the second disk, anyway. It would still sell loads.

Otherwise known as Sevi D!!

look man they already included the 2nd disk crying about it isnt gunna change it. im sorry but really if u dont wanna pay $60 just wait till it drops in price but i understand where ur going with it.

Because it has alll the DLC maps on the disc rather than campaign I'm guessing.

  • 06.19.2009 4:29 PM PDT

In my opinion I think Bungie is putting two seperate discs for all those people who wanted the Legendary/Mythic maps without buying the map packs. I also think that there might be a data issue where the discs that are sold can only hold so much data or something along those lines. At least I hope so because I think that is the main reason why they are selling the game for 60$.

I am actually quite glad about this, I can just put my old Halo 3 disc back in its helmet and then play using the ODST box from now on.


Exactly. I can finally use my helmet to it's full potential of holding the Halo Trilogy together. 1, 2, and 3 will finally be in that helmet once ODST is released.
