Subject: The maps are NOT making ODST $60

Duracell.
I don't keep going and going and going and...
but i Start, and just don't Stop.

So what if the saxophone is black?
it has better tone the the gold one.
damn straight i play Jazz.

the maps are not the price increaser(sp? lol not even a word)

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

I don't care what you say, the game is not worth 60 bucks, no game should be worth same cost as the game you have to have.

But you don't have to have Halo 3 to play Halo 3: ODST ?

QFT! An expansion pack shouldn't cost the same as a regular game. The only reason it is the price that it is is because of the maps and the multiplayer.

  • 07.08.2009 10:25 AM PDT

even if you dont have halo 3, you get halo 3 matchmaking with odst! for the same price as if you didnt! no matter wat people say this is a full game without the matchmaking so it would still be $60!

I stand corrected. I feel bad. But this reminds me of Half Life 2 episode 2, it was about the same length as Halo ODST, but it didn't cost as much.

I don't think a new campaign and forefight alone would be worth $60 dollars. Especially since we already had the maps and the multiplayer in Halo 3.

Hey Guys.

Why are people caring so much about the God Damn Price.

You should be happy to get the game and play it.

I say if you argue about the price then you need to go outside.

I like the way you said, "You should be happy to get the game and play it." Bungie isn't the greatest game maker in the world, I could have lived without Halo 3.

  • 07.08.2009 10:30 AM PDT

Ok first tell me who set the game time for ODST. have any of you played it? no. so it could be 7 hours of time to a bungie employee but 12 hours to us. So shut up about time

You want to see an STAND ALONE expansion pack that didn't cost as much as the original game: This

The price only dropped 10 dollars since it's release. But it never cost as much as the original one's price.

Because I "enjoy" the Halo series, now dont get "enjoy" mixed with "OMG BUNGIE I WANT YOUR BABIES!!!" I just don't like what started out as an expansion pack costing me $60. It was typical enough that it would be made standalone. Now we get an expansion pack but at the cost of the basic game.
then why the hell are you arguing about this game?

Just drop this thread. Report and move on. Because you keep complaining about complainers. When something dies down, let it die. Did you not noticed people were moving away from this issue for a little bit? Then you have to fan the flames again. Let it go.

But thats the point. this is not an expansion. It is a new FULL game. It is an expansion on the halo universe not halo 3.

Then apparently Bioshock, Dead Space, and other single-player-only-campaign games are not worth $60 either in your opinion.

It has been stated many times now that while ODST was considered an expansion, ITS NOT ANYMORE. ITS NOW CONSIDERED A FULL GAME WITH A LONGER CAMPAIGN THAN ORIGINALLY PLANNED.

Why is is so difficult for you people to understand this. ODST is considered a full game now, whether or not Halo 3's multiplayer is being included. That means it has just as much right to cost $60 than games like Bioshock and Dead Space.

It started out as an expansion pack, so it is an expansion pack with a new campaign and at the "new game price"

Guess what, this whole thing is an opinion, I don't think Dead Space or Bioshock return enough to be full games, and I am guessing that Halo ODST will not either. ITS ALL OPINION BASED, IT IS HARD TO CHANGE SOMEONES OPINION.

  • 07.08.2009 10:42 AM PDT

Who cares if it started that way? A baby starts out a baby and grows into a man but since it started out as a baby the man should be treated like one? makes all the sense in the world. (sarcasm)

But did those even need multiplayer to be successful? Not in my opinion. Halo is kept up because of it's multiplayer. Bioshock and Dead Space didn't need it because it wan't based upon multiplayer. Most of the Halo series however IS based upon multiplayer, not just the story alone. I love the story, but I know so many people who just don't do the story and dive straight into multiplayer.

I have the legendary map pack, and this is just halo, covered up and smeared so it looks like another shooter that has originality, I have an opinion on something you have an opinion on something. Halo 3 ODST is not worth $60 dollars, your opinion on my opinion is obsolete.
