What is so stupid is that you are taking this so personal. No one is flaming you for your opinion, this is directed at Bungie/M$ for making the price the way it is. Your the one who chose to take it personal. (Which shows that you feel the need to justify your purchase.)


I don't take a bunch of little kids on a gaming forum personal, trust me. It's the least thing I would worry about.

And yes, you are. I say that I feel it's worth it, and you flame me saying I'm a dumb man supporting MS and Bungie. Btw, Bungie doesn't make the prices, it's Microsoft. Good job, you failed twice in one reply. How does that make you feel?


Lmao, are you sure your not taking things to personal buddy? Let's take a chill pill shall we? Each of your posts, you insult somebody its no wonder why you get flamed for your opinions. And might I also add that I put Bungie/Microsoft.

Again, you might feel its worth it, but a lot of evidence shows that technically it is not.

Indeed. Although, if they actually read my posts and think about them, they might realize that.

No problem. I'm really not, but I mean he does keep calling me and kid and say I fail so I feel the need to defend my self a bit.

To be fair I bought all the halo 3 map packs just to play them early, so I will pre-order my ODST and enjoy it. I really dont see the fuss about the extra $30/£20, I would only be spending the money on more drinks on nights out anyway.

  • 07.05.2009 4:30 PM PDT

"Let me turret, you suck at it. Don't be sad we all know it."

Implied facepalm

And you wouldnt know if the campaign took 5-6 hours, did Bungie tell you?[/quote]

Actually they did! They have stated that the campaign is 5-6 hours long.

Or are you just someone who's pissed that they wasted money buying the maps?

I did not waste money buying the maps.


Well instead of posting retarded pics, and being a dick PROVE IT.

I and many others have already proved it several times in this forum. How about you stop being lazy, and look around these forums a bit.

All those that said here that the maps aren't free, should also say that we are paying for something twice. Right?

As long as there is people like you that can't understand something as simple as that, never. I will never stop.

Even though I know you agree with me (you've said so in my thread multiple times).

We (the people who bought the old maps) deserve to be angry with the price. WHat sort of EXPANSION PACK costs the full price of the original? It's basically costing us more money for the Halo 3 MM and all the maps. WTF!?

If every expansion pack that came out cost the same price as the base game, then hell I would be flat out broke.

I do and I don't. Yes, we're "paying" for it again, but we're getting a new Campaign and Firefight. That is good enough for me. I do understand what you're saying, but I'm saying that I simply don't care because we're getting 2 new big things.

To be honest, you should just give up like I did. There's too many people out there who will NEVER listen to reason, and ALWAYS make up a bunch of stupid excuses to justify their non-existant thinking skills.

I like how people with no idea about how pricing works come in here and say, "Oh, well the campaign and survival mode should be roughly $30, so we must be paying for the maps." See: OP's misconceptions.

this game is for US, so don't tell me that WE are lucky we're getting it, THEY'RE lucky we're dumb enough to shell out 60 bucks for it.

Lulz. Original and hilarious reply. Now I urge you to provide some facts as to how I am wrong, rather than, "Oh I think the two things are $30 so I must be getting ripped off MS is dumb blah blah blah." That, or go read up on some accounting.

Let's factor in the price:
$30 for ODST.
Now here's what's pissing people off: the Second disc
+$10 for LMP
+$10 for MMP
+$10 for MMP pt. 2

All leading up to a whopping $60.

I could have just rented Halo 3 if I knew that I would be paying for the Multiplayer and the maps (which I already payed for). Most people play multiplayer when they're done with the campain, which wasn't as long as I had hoped. Now, we have to pay for a shorter campain and Multiplayer all over again! We didn't even need to buy Halo 3 in the first place!

Simple. Don't buy it. You don't have to complain to us about every little thing you hate or dislike.

Again, you're ASSUMING that the ODST would be priced $30 as standalone content, then working backwards to justify said assumption. You are right, however, in pointing out that there was no need to buy Halo 3 in the first place. Those who waited 3 years for the game are getting a solid ddeal.

But most of the people (who bought the game and the maps) are being given the short end of the deal! What was the point of making Halo 3 in the first place!? Now that ODST will be out, all Halo 3 has given us is the campain! So much money that I have waisted has just gone out the window! Why should people who say "they don't have enough to afford the maps" (even though they have an X -Box 360, X-Box LIve, Halo 3 and the controllers and mics) deserve the maps for the cost of Halo 3 without the added content!?

You could look at it this way:
The WHOLE game is FREE!!! There is just a really expensive manual.

i thought that the box art was what the $60 was for...but the manual. now that makes sense.

We are NOT assuming that ODST would be priced $30 as standalone content; we KNOW that ODST is worth $30 as standalone content. How? Because Bungie confirmed it themselves that it was around $30 in one of their older weekly updates.
