It is an expansion, Bungie has stated that since they announced it last year.
Wrong. Bungie and Microsoft both said theres enough content in it to warrant the $60 dollar price tag and making it a full game. Bungie made the Campaign way longer then they originally did, which is one of the reasons it's a full game.
Dude.. Omg you guys took this the wrong way.
MS is saying it is not an expansion, why? BECAUSE IT HAS THE MAPS AND HALO 3 MULTIPLAYER. Without them, it would be an expansion. You guys have to read. The source you provided says:
"We believe this standalone experience is much more than just an expansion. Halo 3: ODST provides a new campaign from the point of view of an entirely new character. Combine that with three new multiplayer maps, the entirely new cooperative mode called Firefight, and the complete Halo 3 multiplayer collection on a standalone disc, we feel this is a good value and tremendous addition to the Halo franchise."
They're trying to say what I've said millions of times. The game in itself is an expansion without the maps and halo 3 multiplayer!
no they are not. they are making it very clear that this is not an expansion anymore, but a full game
No they aren't. You have to read to understand. Joystiq understood this perfectly that's why they mentioned:

Chances are if you're a hardcore Halo player, you already own the multiplayer maps, so you'll basically be paying for content you already own
Let me break down what MS said:
[Mentioned it is not an expansion anymore]. [Microsoft listed the content that constitutes the price]
The list includes the maps and halo 3 multiplayer. You took it out of context that's why you think they said that the game ON ITSELF constitutes a $60 dollar price tag. But if you read all of what they said, you would understand that they didn't say this at all.
