WoW is like Girls Gone Wild without the tits: idiots and douches taking turns doing anything to get noticed, and no one knows what a condom looks like.

Has anyone here actually played the campaign to know how long it is. The info released a year ago doesn't necessarily apply. Bungie has stated that it sort of grew from an expansion to a full blown game(minus multiplayer.) Considering Bungie spent 3 years on each part of the Halo trilogy, and 2 years on ODST, that seems like a fair prospect that will deliver a full campaign. You people are under the impression that Bungie somehow owes you. They don't. Sorry to break it to you, but they are a business. A business's main goal is to make money. Bungie doesn't have to compensate you for anything. Are you suggesting a better alternative is to have not bought any of the maps, and just wait for ODST to come out? You are, by no means, obliged to buy or play any of Bungie's games, so if it's such a big deal, don't get it. Simple as that.
1. The 3-5 hour thing was released three months ago
2. They had a very small team working on ODST. 2 years is probably close to 1 year compared to the other Halo games.
3. We didn't know ODST would charge you for the maps. If we did, we wouldn't have bought them in the first place.
Not getting it isn't simple. We want it, if we get enough support they can lower the price just like they lowered it to the UK people.
All you people that say "DUN GET IT LOZLASL" are just out of a non-pathetic argument and don't know what else to say. If your pathetic excuse of a brain can't muster a good thought out argument don't come on here at all.
I don't recall ever saying "DUN GET LOZLASL". I don't even know what that means. And apparently my pathetic excuse for a brain can actually debate a topic without flaming incoherently and making myself look like desperate retard. At this point in post-production, they won't lower the price. You said it yourself. You want it. They won't lower the price. What you are trying to attempt is almost as stupid and desperate as the L4D2 boycott. You have never played ODST. You don't know how much content went in it. You don't know how the price was factored out. How the hell do you know how large the team that worked on it was. And please show me this statement that was released 3 months ago about the game's length.
They did lower the price for UK (while it's in post production). Why won't they lower the price for Americans?
The difference between us and the l4d people is that they don't have good support. That's what I'm trying to gather right now. Support. But many of you are lacking intelligence to stand up for this exploitation.
Also i do know that the content in ODST is not enough in itself to constitute a $60 dollars price tag. Bungie said so themselves, and they were practically finished with the game when they did. If they weren't, then estimating a price would be pointless wouldn't it? Three months isn't enough time to add any type of content that would make up for its price tag. So they added the halo 3 maps and multiplayer. But I already paid for that, so that means that I'm paying for something twice does it not?
EDIT: I will try my best to get you proof on the 3-5 hour thing and the small development crew. Even though this is common knowledge, I'll try my best.
I recall the 3-5 hour thing, but that was back in 08. Also, I just looked it up. All major retailers in the UK have upped their price to the equivalent of 60 dollars except one, which has it priced at 50. Also, the L4D2 group has like 15,000 members. How many do you think are willing to boycott ODST. From a business perspective, the ODST price makes sense.(which is why Microsoft made it). It makes more money, and introduces new players, to the legendary Halo 3 multiplayer at "no extra charge". Have to at least respect the Bastards. It does warrant the price tag for new players. For us... not so much. Still, -blam!-in about it to Bungie isn't gonna do much. We need to -blam!- to microsoft.
