I'm going to share an idea I had. It's an idea that will probably never happen, but a good one (IMO) at least.

Considering that the second disk of Halo 3: ODST will contain all the Halo 3 DLC maps and new ones, you should get a card with codes or an in game system that will refund you for the map packs you have already purchased via Xbox Live.

I mean, you are paying for them twice by buying ODST.
I have no problem with it all. I'm not cheap, but I just think this is a fair idea.

Keep it civil.

Nice idea, but it's never gonna happen with Micro$oft in charge.

  • 06.26.2009 3:59 AM PDT

i woke a bit ago and my son was playing halo 3 he was on forge i saw at the bottom of the screen was a charge for 35 dollars is that real or not did he charge 35 bucks or is that justfor the in game

-NO RECUITMENT MESSAGES PLEASE

A fantastic idea. Similar to what I was hoping of a 1 disc edition, which just ships with the first disc, plus a code for the last 3 Mythic maps. You can still get them before everyone else on Marketplace, but it means you aren't paying for stuff you already have.

I don't mind paying the extra, everything has a price, and life isn't fair, but I would rather not buy stuff twice if it can be avoided.

Actually, that's a great idea. It probably would cost forty dollars (thirty for ODST, ten for the maps). But I doubt Microsoft would want to let us save some money.

  • 06.26.2009 4:20 AM PDT

Yeah, another option (that isn't happening) would be to have two editions:
1. Regular Version (one we have).
2. ODST Version (only disk one).
Just my take on it. Oh, and the refund option sounds awesome.

If they gave me 400 pts for each pack, I'd be happy. But it will never happen.

CORRECT!

  • 06.26.2009 6:55 AM PDT

Yep. Love Reach.

I like that idea for people who don't have the maps like some people who want to play team slayer but they don't have legendary. I don't care for buying them again. The game is going to be really awesome! :)

2 Problem's there.
1. Microsoft would never agree.
2. How would Bungie/Microsoft know you even purchased it..without having to look. Because its not like you'd just be able to go to the store and say, "Oh I purchased it, can I have my code?" When you didn't.

IMO I actually don't care ODST will be worth it :D and the Reconz. :P

Maybe I will never be
All the things that I wanna be
But now is not the time to cry
Now's the time to find out why
I think you're the same as me
We see things they'll never see
You and I are gonna live forever

Well there could be a "Map Pack Refund Code" which refunds your Microsoft Points when you enter it and the system realises that you have the maps on your HDD.

This is a good idea. They're ripping me off 2400 MS Points when I buy ODST.

Meh, ruin my thunder there huh :( lol jk. Well yah and I kinda thought of that after I made my post just failed to return to edit it :P. It is a good idea, but like I said ODST will still be worth it.

Where have you been all my life, Skibur?

=P

It sounds like a good idea. I'd want my money back for Heroics, Legendaries, but not Mythics, seeing as I was awarded them.

=P

~~Christian

this is a very good idea, but im afraid those of us who already bought the maps are going to have to put up with it

Do NOT send me Recruitment Letters, doing so will get you blocked faster than you can say "Huh?"

I like the idea, but some people payed for Herioc, others didn't, same with Mythic. Really there would be no way to regulate it. Unless Bungie let us register the games on the site, and then if we had purchased the maps they give us some MS points.

Hello! I'm a male!

The second disk is ganna totally mess with the people who have already baught it because now the game will read the maps off there hard drive and the disk .... makeing load times take longer ...... They shoulda made the remaining 3 maps DLC not only on a disk that comes with ODST =/ such a waste of money

If there were an ODST only version, it should also have the 3 new maps to download (whether it's on the disc or a card).

Um, no.

Since the second disc has every map on it, you can just delete all of the map packs you've already DLed.

sig goes where?

1. Some paid for Heroic maps, some didn't.
2. Some paid 800 for Legendary maps, some paid 600.
3. Some were awarded Mythic maps, some received them through Halo Wars, and some paid for them.

A blanket refund for them just wouldn't work.
