How about this option: I will buy a used copy of the game for $30, then purchase a Sgt. Johnson code off ebay.

Does it matter? It will still sell like crazy.
No it doesn't matter at all. I'm sure ODST won't change in price and this won't hurt it's sells. However that does not hide the fact that they are charging us for something we already have right?

I think 60$ is a fair price considering
-New campaign with all new machinics.
-New co-op mode.
-3 new maps.
-And also the 2nd disc has ALL Halo 3 maps on it soooo you will be able to remove them oiff your hard drive for more spaceam I correct.

Plus I have no problem supporting Bungie have been for the past decade or so.

I think it's a fair price too since it has the maps and H3 multi. But why exactly are they charging for this:

Don't we already have that? I think they should take that out. which would mean the price would lower since you said that it's $60 thanks to that. So without it, it isn't $60.

Not everybody has it.

And besides, you're basically paying for the opportunity to play it early. Just like in Halo 2; you knew the maps would be free eventually, you were paying for early access.


First of all, the maps and H3 multiplayer aren't free. MS said themselves here and here. If you already knew this, then my apologizes. it seems that you don't since you say " you knew the maps would be free eventually". I know this is directed to the maps in Halo 2, but it seems you're trying to imply that the maps are free. Again, sorry if you knew this already.

Secondly, isn't it better to take out the H3 Multiplayer and maps and let those that haven't gotten them to get them seperately if they wish? Isn't it better than forcing them to pay for them if they want to buy ODST? I think it is.

Here's an example:


I bought a bag of chips. That was a week ago. Now I want to buy some cookies. Well I can't unless I buy a bag of chips again. Of course, there are some that haven't bought the chips. But isn't it better for those that haven't bought the chips to buy them separately if they want to? Instead of being forced to buy the chips with the cookies? This way it would help both groups. Those that bought the chips and those that haven't. That way, everyone wins and those that haven't bought the chips have something magical called choice, instead of being forced.

And finally, I didn't buy the maps to play them early. I didn't know they were going to be charged for again in ODST. If I knew this when I bought legendary (and Halo 3 multiplayer, since they're charging for that too) I wouldn't have bought them.

No we don't have that.
I meant the content, not the disc itself. The only thing new that I"m paying for in that disc is the disc itself, which is 75 cents. We do have the content. You may not, but I as well as others do. Read my above post to see exactly why I think they should remove it from the disc.

Thats why everyone should buy the collecters edition. Controllers are about $60, and the collecters edition is $80 at my local gamestop. Map packs are usually $10, bringing the total up to $70... so really, with the collectors edition, you pay $10 for the game.

Ok I have all maps too but where are they stored?
...on your hard drive.
The disc allows us to play them off a disc which means we can delete the maps off our hard drives for more space for other things.

And this is enough to pay TWICE for something? If you feel the need to have a disc with the maps then so be it. I do too. Doesn't mean they have to add it to another package. They can sell it separately. Read my analogy on the chips and cookies I've posted before:

I bought a bag of chips. That was a week ago. Now I want to buy some cookies. Well I can't unless I buy a bag of chips again. Of course, there are some that haven't bought the chips. But isn't it better for those that haven't bought the chips to buy them separately if they want to? Instead of being forced to buy the chips with the cookies? This way it would help both groups.

Or how about this.
Bungie Employee- Hey guys lets put the price for this game up to $60 and see how many retards buy it because its made by us and its a halo game so it will sell like crazy.

I honestly could care less. Im selling my halo 3 on ebay the day before odst comes out and getting Odst at midnight. Quit complaining about the price because it is worth the price.
Halo 3 ($60)- 11 multiplayer maps
5-7 hour long campaign
3 map packs each starting at 800 ms points ($12 for 1000 times 3 is $36)
Total price paid for all halo products=$96
And lets face it i cant wait for map packs to come free so since i have a job i buy them right away. So in all i paid around $96 for my entire halo 3 experience and since im impatient i will buy odst and sell halo 3 because i want the new maps and Recon armor now.

Odst $60- 23 multiplayer maps including 3 new.
5-7 hour long campaign
Firefight which is freaking halo horde mode. Heck Yes!!!
And Of course RECON
So yeah i think it is worth it especially if you sell Halo 3 and take off the price of ODST

FINLLY SOMEONE AGREES THAT BUYING HALO 3 ODST FOR 60$ IS WORTH IT THANKS SO MUCH

  • 07.08.2009 8:01 PM PDT

-blam!- Was that actually blammed out? Or did I just type it? You'll never know.

Remember Zelda? It's just a campaign. They're all full priced games. You know Bioshock? Campaign. Full priced.

No problem- just stating that if people say that they are paying for something they already have then they should sell Halo 3 since odst contains what the first game doesnt.

people are like i dont want to buy something i already have. Well then sell it and get something you dont have, And plus odst has a freaking sweet campaign. I hate halo 3 campaign because its very linear and the story is so freaking confusing.
