get a job. Its nice that Bungie is going to release them for free. You payed to play them earlier and knew that the mythic maps were on disk but probably still bought them just to play them like everyone else.

Oh no you spent an extra $30 to play maps months to a year earlier than everyone else.

My tv that I bought last year is $300 now instead of $400. Am I pissed? No because I got to use it for a year.

My family's car that we bought in 1999 now sells for much less than we bought it for. Are we pissed? No because we got to use it for years.

Grow up

with you 100% man. =]

Anchorman is my favorite movie ever.
I'm kind of a big deal.
Check out my youtube channel for Halo videos and comedy sketches

The point is, I'm re-paying for the Legendary and Mythic maps. Those maps are $20 worth out of the $60. I agree with that other guy- pay $45 to get the GAME and the second half of Mythic.

This argument is flawed.

We're not pissed because of price changes in the maps (The price hasn't changed!) When the heroic maps were released free I didn't really care, I knew the maps were going to be free after a couple of months and I enjoyed playing them early. I didn't buy the Legendary maps to get them early (since they were never going to be free again). And even if they were released for free I wouldn't mind.

What I do mind is paying for something twice. I'm paying for something twice. TWICE. Two times. Not once, but twice. More than once.

What's so hard to understand? I am seriously disappointed with you guys. I expected a more intellectual community.

Sigh. The maps and the multiplayer are free. For all of you that think that you can price out the individual products of the bundle and make the campaign 15 dollars and firefight about the same, you are retarded. If you are going to pay 10 dollars for only THREE new multiplayer maps and think thata whole campaign with about 10 levels is not worth at least 30 dollars you deserve to get ripped off. bottom line... STOP CRYING.

Alright, Im looking forward to ODST and Im sure it will be a great game. Also for newer players who dont have Halo 3; they get the Halo 3 Multiplayer disc to use, awesome right?

No, its lame. Because that disc is going to have the downloadable content that others had to pay for, I personally was pissed when I payed for the Heroic maps only to have them come out for free a few months later.

All Im saying is that if somebody who already has the maps buys the game, they should get something "extra" or a refund in ms points. Paying 10$ to get 3 maps (5months?) before other people is not worth it.


Waaaah?

The only real content on the disc that 90% of people don't have is the new Mythic maps. It's 30 dollars overall. I spend that on a night at the pizza dump down the block. Get a job, make some money, and refund yourself.

Once again: They aren't free. Or so Microsoft says. But who are they to know?! It's not like they're the publishers or anything..

I can't figure out if you're against or for the price..

"It's 30 dollars overall."? You're talking about ODST? It's not 30 dollars, its 60$. Unless you live in UK, then its 30 pounds (48 dollars)

Not as pissed as I was when I preoredered Halo 3, then bought Heroic and Legendary, only to find that they make Heroic free.

THEN, they publicly release info that all the Mythic and the next 3 maps will be on ODST, BEFORE they release Mythic (also releasing free downloads basically at random instead of to the people who bought Legendary and Heroic within a week of their release and Preordered H3) and after they release that info, they make it so I can only play less then half the current playlists.

(this is a imaginary quote)
Bungie: "Hey, I know you've bought all our stuff, but now we're taking it away from you and you can't use it unless you pay for something that will be part of an already overpirced future release. Trust us, we're not ripping you off.

Or rather, I can wait and save money so that I can actually afford to buy an already overpriced package that contains the stuff they want me to pay for now. Or I can pay more money so I can use MM I have already overpayed to use(Heroic) and hope they decide to release randomly free copies of ODST and hope I get one.

Or I can drop this f***ing retarded game company (may or may not be Microsofts fault) and play a game with infinitely better user interface and accesablitity (and better weapon balancing and map design) CoD 4.


EDIT: if it were a simple matter of paying more to play the maps earlier then I wouldn't be pissed. But I have already payed for two map packs, neither of which made playlists DLC required untill either they were released for free, or months later when another map pack came out.

Now Mythinc comes out and more then half the playlists go down the drain weeks within Mythic's release, when I've payed 76$ directly to Bungie to play them already. AND they have already told us that Mythic will be realeased with ODST. So they either make ODST 52$ for me and refund my money for the map packs I bought that Bungie didn't decide to make the playlists DLC required, or I am done with Bungie.

The game shouldn't come with the maps at all to begin with. But if they still want to add them, then at least make them free. I don't want to pay for one thing two times.

Why? That doesn't make sense.

It's like saying that the halo2 map pack disc should have been free since you already bought a map pack from it. And hell, the "map pack" disc this time comes with much, much more than that.

Essentially Bungie is just putting in these maps so people who don't want to pay for it as a DLC can have it

I'd love to be a 10 year old and tell my mom I'm going on an adventure out into the world catching Pokemon, with her full support. Never mind the fact that there are rapists, criminals, and murders out there, or the fact that I may get killed by a Pokemon.

Luckily I have Pikachu.

It should be at most $40.

In Canada a $60 ($70) game is actually around $80 including taxes.

I do feel somewhat ripped off, it shouldn't have to cost me that much for an expansion to a two year old game.

Yes it is like saying that. because If I bought the Halo 2 map packs I wouldn't be buying the halo 2 map pack disc would I? You see how stupid you sound now?

But the difference between the halo 2 map disc and ODST is that the Halo 2 map pack came with only that, the map pack. So if I already had the map pack, I didn't have to buy the Halo 2 Map disck. ODST comes with the halo 3 map packs and they're charing you for it. So if you want ODST you will have to buy the Halo 3 map packs AGAIN.

$20.00-$30.00.

Same as GTA 4 : Lost and the Damned.

GTA 4:LatD provided a new story which lasts roughly as long or longer than ODSTs. New multiplayer modes/skins, mini games, vehicles and interiors. All for only $20.

What differentiates this and a "full" game?

Have you ever bought a Call of Duty sequel? It;'s essentially just a 5 hour campaign add on and a new set of multiplayer maps ripped from that campaign.


And to you up there ^ Lost and Damned is really just a traditional expansion. It's just more of the same really. ODST is a new experience and you know, uses more than just new voice work and repeditive missions of the same structure.

Comapre Lost and Damned to GTA4 and ODST to Halo 3.
You'll notice that L&D could have been a charatcer swap to GTA4 where as if you played an ODST part in Halo 3 you would have said "WTF?"
