one version is the story,firefight, and has like a code for the second mythic maps and is only 30-40 bucks. the other is 60 bucks and has odst on one disc and all the halo 3 maps on the other. this seems like a good way to save money rather if you do or dont have all the maps.

Really? Why do people keep going on about the price? Even if it didnt come with all the maps it would still cost 60 bucks. Marketing strategy. if it didnt come with the maps microsoft would sell it off for 60 bucks and make a bigger profit than what theyre getting. Theyre being gracious. And for all you idiots who think its bungie doing this, its not.

Remember Reach

Dude, I would like too try the original version of ODST before a second version. Lets wait to see what the release of ODST does for us.

Well really the price doesn't effect me seeing as I'm British I get it for 48$. Lower than 60$.

if there were not maps then it wouldnt be 60 bucks!!! how is firefight and 5-6 hours of campaign 60 $. im not complaining i think it would be a good idea! the reason it is 60 dollars is mostly because of the maps!!! i already bought the maps. so there is like no reason for me to have another disc of halo 3's multiplayer.

  • 07.08.2009 9:58 AM PDT

Well sucks for you. And ya it would be $60 so microsoft could make more money. When was the last time you saw ANYTHING in a green xbox 360 box START at less than 59.99?

  • 07.08.2009 10:05 AM PDT

Gt = xKryeZ
Halo 3 1750 G
Halo 3: ODST 1000 G
Halo Reach 1400 G
Halo CEA
Halo 4

im okay with paying 60 bucks I dont really care I think ODST is great and im getting bored playing halo 3 so wh is every one complaining

it's worth that much because it contains more content and campaign then some other Full retail games

  • 07.08.2009 10:09 AM PDT

thats exactly my point. quit complaining about something you havnt even seen yet. would you complain about the price of a puppy if youve never touched one? and if you would youre a total jerk.

  • 07.08.2009 10:11 AM PDT

I'm fine with the way the price is. I'm gonna be going off to college in the fall of 2010. I can't take my Halo 3 cuz almost everybody in my house plays it, so the multiplayer disc will really be helpful. But I voted yes, just because not everybody wants the mp disc

the maps are not the price increaser(sp?)

the game is lets say 5-7 hours. that is litterally a full retail game.
WAW was a port of the COD4 engine with a hoard like addition with a 4-6 hour campaign. and guess what? it went for $60!!!! did anyone complain? no.

Force unleashed was 5-7 hours with NO other game mode at all that went for $60 and it had no complaints

so why is a game that has the hoardish game mode and 5-7 hours of campaign with theater, not worth $60 even without the 3 new maps? let alone the H3 MM

  • 07.08.2009 10:18 AM PDT

wow this is a pointless conversation. its 60 bucks. get over it.

No its not! Theyre not free but microsoft knows what theyre doing. Theyre letting us have 3 maps and getting less of a profit than they would for the FULL RETAIL GAME without the maps.

But does it mean I'm paying for it? Yes?

That's why I'm complaining. And that's why I voted yes.

And Phoenix you are saying that we aren't getting an amazing deal. We're just making it "feel" like we are. Right? Cause that's what it sounds you're saying.

Is that really what you thought I said? wow.

I said that I'm pissed because I'm paying for something twice. So they should either take out the maps (so we don't pay for them again) or make a second version where I don't have to pay for them.

i'm saying we are getting our moneys worth

<(0_0<) <(0_0)> (>0_0)>(>0_0<) .

With ODST (which is 60$) comes the first disc with firefight, campaign, theater (for ODST), and the halo reach beta. With the second disc comes halo 3's multiplayer with forge, the new maps, matchmaking, and theater (for halo 3). Not to mention the extra Srgt johnson character for free if the game is pre ordered. So in short, yes the game is worth the money you are paying for so stop complaining about the prices.

Exactly there are plenty of games with no online, no free extras, and no multiplayer that sell for $60 that plenty people buy, why is it that Halo 3 is so much different.
