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.

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..

k tell me how much you think each of those items should cost then



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.


ok let's say they did not include the maps. HOW MUCH DO YOU THINK THAT THE CORE GAME SHOULD COST??


35-40 dollars. Just as bungie said they thought it was worth. When they said this the game was already practically finished (if not then they wouldn't be able to estimate a price would they?).

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.


You have very a good point here. But can you imagine not buying the maps when you did and missing out on all that fun you must of had on the new maps?

Your point is quite valid though! :-)

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.

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.


Okay let's get this straight. ODST in itself is not a full game. The game is 3-5 hours according to Bungie, and they also stated it was an expansion and not a full game. The only, ONLY, reason it's being priced as a full game is because it has repackaged stuff (halo 3 maps/multiplayer). Not because it grew to more than an expansion. I have proof it is still an expansion by itself.

Bungie said it was an expansion with a 3-5 hour game about three months ago. They couldn't possibly have added more content in 3 months to constitute a $60 dollars game. Why not? Because when they made the prediction that it was $35 dollars they were practically done with the game, if they weren't then they wouldn't have estimated a price because it wouldn't be fair to do so.

ODST is a full game though. It has a campaign and awhole new multiplayer mode. as I already stated the campaign and the firefight mode should each be at least 25 dollars

Grand Theft Auto Lost and the Damned delivered the same things and it is only $20.

....whut?

Bungie stated several times in the past that all the mythic maps would be released with ODST. Ignorance is not an excuse. And they are most definately not free. Ever taken 2 seconds to use your brain and wonder why an expansion is the price of a full game when there have been many case where they were only $30-ish?

Multiplayer mode? That constitues a $60 dollar game? They were finished with this multiplayer mode when they said it was worth 35 dollars! Look at my last post.

Firefight couldn't have been thought out, made, and tested in three months.. The maps couldn't have been made under that little time either. So that means the game itself is STILL worth 35 dollars as stated by BUNGIE THEMSELVES.

I knew they were going to be released with ODST, I just didn't know they were going to be part of the price until about 3 weeks ago, when MS finally decided (conveniently) to tell us that the game was going to be $60 because of the maps and halo 3 multiplayer.

Your post has some pretty good points..... I do want the game, but I'm not willing to pay twice for something and I'm trying to show you and many other bendovers (that's what I call them :P) to stand up against this.

Now that you admit that it is overpriced (apparently you do, if you didn't you would still be arguing) then answer me this:

Why are you still going to get it even though its over priced?

I accept the following answers too: "cus my mummy pays things for me" or "cus i r fanboi" or "cus i r dmb"

lol i'll buy the game myself. In fact i'm getting the limited edition. Yes i am a halo fanboy but I find this price completely fair. I'm sorry if you don't agree but if they called the game "Halo: ODST" instead of "Halo 3: ODST" you probably wouldn't care.

They'd also have to tell me its not an expansion and increase the size/length of the campaign. Oh and they'd have to not make me pay for the same maps twice which is the main point of this topic.

What makes you think I wouldn't care? I don't care if its called "ThisGameSucks: Halo" It's about us paying for something twice.

I've said this many many times already that it's hurting my fingers hitting the same keys over and over.

Do you understand now?

  • 07.05.2009 3:06 PM PDT

Agreed 100%. I paid $20 for Halo 3 MP (I didn't buy Heroic map Pack). I know some friends who have never had Halo 3, but they are buying ODST just for the free maps. There should be some way we can be refunded for paying for the maps we bought twice. Maybe upload Micro$oft points onto our xboxs or something.

Okay, you're just being selfish. You purchase the maps to play them BEFORE everyone else.

Bungie should be commended for making the maps free eventually, vs only releasing the maps to those who bought them. Bungie made the fact abundantly clear that this was going to be the case. The fact that you got pissed when you paid for the Heroic maps to only have them come out free later is no one's fault but your own.

And if my points fall on deaf ears and you still feel robbed, then blame the cause of all problems (real or imagined).

Blame Stosh.

Technically They aren't releasing the maps for free. Why is it 60$? Becuase of the maps and Halo 3 Multiplayer..

http://kotaku.com/5274549/

No, It was originally a $40.00 title, But, Microsoft, Being greedy little bastards, decided to make it $60.00 due to the fact they thought it was a "full game". The maps are simply an extra, The Halo 3 multiplayer part you said was right, though.

You are right. But I mean why would I be patient. They never told me I had to pay for them twice. If they did I would be pouring with patience.

I don't know. I guess I don't expect so much out of a videogame. All I want is a decent campaign and a multiplayer that will keep me interested. The campaign is gonna be pretty sexy, and I'll admit that after a little while, Firefight will probably get boring but that's why they are including Halo 3's multiplayer. I'm still not bored with Halo 3's multiplayer so I don't mind it.
