Campaign $20 + Firefight $10 + Three Maps $10 =/= $60 Maybe I should be talking to some economists, business men, or PR men not a bunch of Halo fanboys. When someone gives you their word, if they don't come through you lose respect for them. This is bad business practice to promise something that won't come through. Any successful person in the world knows this.
All of you who already have all the maps are being blindly robbed. You have to pay for the maps again. I wanna say that you guys who are replying to this thread with insults are getting your mommy's and daddy's to pay for your games. Come back in a few years when you know more and you pay your own way through this world.
I like how you've neglected to mention at all the other 12 maps which have been released after Halo 3's initial launch.
Halo 3's multiplayer experience (Multiplayer, Custom Games, Forge, etc) are all packed and bundled wtih Halo 3: ODST.
That means 4 Map Packs.
Well...3 if you want to get technical, since the Heroic went free.
That's a $40 (or technically, $30) value packaged with ODST.
That, in addition to a new game mode in FireFight, a brand new campaign experience that has grown beyond anything Bungie had originally hoped for a one year project, and the Halo: Reach Beta, Halo 3: ODST has grown substantially from when it was only going to be a 3-5 hour campaign expansion.
Microsoft has every right to call this a full game, and charge it as such.
You are going to claim that ODST does not ship with enough content to justify the pricetag?
What about the numerous single player games that ship full price?
The most those come with, is the story mode, and an extras, and possibly some sort of bonus single player thing.
Yet, they go for full price.
Take a look at Assassin's Creed and Prototype for some prime examples.
Why are they allowed to be charged as a full game, but Halo 3: ODST, which ships with twice as much (if not more) content is not?
Let me break it down for you.
Brand new campaign experience - $20.
FireFight - $10
Halo: Reach Multiplayer invitation - $10
Legendary Map Pack - $8
Mythic Map Pack Part 1 - $10
Mythic Map Pack Part 2 - $10
Total - $68.
It warrants the price tag, despite whatever you believe otherwise.
