Okay everyone. Long and short of it is that with Halo 3: ODST, we will be paying for a new campaign, and three new maps for Halo 3 multiplayer. First off...sure, there are some games out there that are only Campaign that run a decent gameplay, games like Fallout, where the story mode is playable only once.

The bad part is is that bungie had already hoped themselves for a smaller number on the price tag for Halo 3: ODST, apx $40.00 USD, since they admitted that the game was merely a "campaign expansion." If we take Bungie's word for it, we can only assume that a full game price of $60.00 for this expansion pack is too much for what we're getting, along with the three map packs. [and the ever so popular recon controversy] which is beside the point.

All I'm asking is that do you think that with Bungie underestimating their own "expansion pack" by setting their price bar low, that a full game price is a reasonable price for the Microsoft suits to ask for for only a simple campaign, three new maps (assuming they'll be on the marketplace soon enough after), and a hyped up armor set, especially with Halo Reach around the corner?

僕を判断しないでください。

1. microsoft decides the price. bungie was hoping for $40
2. there is also firefight
3. the 2nd disc contains every halo3 multiplayer map on it. so it is basically halo3 without the campaign
4. reach isnt until (at earliest) fall 2010

I hunt for the Prophet of Contentment, the San 'Shyumm that murdered my son, and stole his birthright, his Energy Sword. They call our species Heretics. They claim to all that our tongues sting, our words a vile poison that feeds on the unworthy. I have seen the true face of Heresy. The head of a gallant warrior lay on the ground. His neck scorched and blistered, scarred by his own blade. I shall retrieve the weapon, and drive it through that bastard's heart! Punishment for his sins is nigh.

It is a 2 disk set, it comes with MORE CONTENT on those disks combined than Halo 3. If anything, it should be more expensive.

This is why I am not pre ordering. The game does also come with all the dlc maps, so I would pre order it if I didn't buy any map packs, but who doesn't buy maps!? So I'm going to wait and see what people say and watch some gameplay videos to decide if I should pay $60 for a campaign. But I will probably end up buying it for the Reach multiplayer beta.

And you can play Fallout 3 past the main story now, just gotta get some DLC ;D You don't even have to do the story at all.

Edit- So it comes with a second disc with all the Halo 3 maps? More expensive you say? But.. I already have all the maps..

wait.. what
