ODST is not over priced. Get over it! I have a formula that proves it.

Halo 3: Long campaign + small linear area + one point of view + forge + old gameplay + multiplayer + Theater + second extras disc
=
ODST: Normal (compared to most games) campaign + Enormous open world + multiple points of view + three new maps + added gameplay features + firefight + second disc with multiplayer, theater, forge, and all the old maps.

If Halo 3 cost $60 then ODST should cost $65-$70 and there is still supply and demand to count in. ODST is primarly Halo 3 without the campaign and the full ODST game!

So stop whining and complaining. I have proved with math and economics that ODST's price is fair, if not cheaper than it should be. The arguement on the other side is short campaign, but compared to most games it has normal campaign length. Discuss!

I know not trying to be rude. I just want all the people in the forums who are complaining about the price in every forum to see the reason about it.

Rule 6: Respect the Admins

“It’s their website, and they can do whatever the hell they like with it. You’re a guest, and hassling them about how they run things is akin to going round your Auntie’s house and curling one out in her tea-pot.”

If microsoft did not include the halo 3 multiplayer disc with the maps you'd be paying $60 dollars for just the campaign any ways. So look at it like this:

If you would have had to pay $60 for it even if it was just campaign and fire fight, you're getting the multi player disc free.

Stop bumping. Thanks

The price is fair. I never said it wasn't. I said that the price includes the maps and h3 multi. Which I find unfair.

I never pointed you out personnaly but thanks. I think.

Which of the following will I do?
A. Give you up. B. Let you down.
C. Run around. D. Desert you.
E. None of the above.

I voted no. I think that if we've already spent $60 on Halo 3, why spend $60 more for 3 new maps, a new campaign, views, and "gameplay features"?

The campaign is the largest part of that, and I usually don't play full campaigns more than two or three times, except for certain levels. The way I see it, it should be an expansion pack selling for about $30.

EDIT: I forgot about Firefight... but still, it could be part of the expansion.

Jees, why are people so hung up over the price? One thing, it's only a $20 difference people are arguing about. And secondly, you're getting a whole very innovative new type of campaign as well as firefight which together will last your dozens upon dozens of hours. And then 3 maps.


People are only blinded by names. This is a full spin off essentially. Truly, if you just looked at the content you'd see that. Vegas 2, Graw 2, any COD after 1, Gutar Hero, etc. are more so expansions as nothing changes except maps, songs, levels for campaign (but the same
type), etc.

--> I honestly don't get why a shooter can't have a campaign only and be fine. ODST's is a new type, a free roaming one in halo, I don't get why that alone wouldn't be good enough.

----->And if we're going off pure content. ODST has more content than Halo 3's when it shipped. It just swaps out campaigns and adds firefight as well as 13 new maps.

There is no such thing as a 5-6 hour campaign expansion, but I sort of see your point.

Apparently your reading comprehension is not all there, I didn't say that it necessarily irritates me. It's just annoying.

Reported for an incessant amount of bumping.

10 out of what, 18 replies (including this one)? That seems like bumping to me. Over half of the replies in this thread are from you.
Last post from me to not have the thread keep rising to the top.

Edit:
You just bumped in the next two replies; you could have said that in one reply or PM. You can also "Edit" your posts....

I agree. Three were bumps all the rest are replies to posts in the thread. This is not a bump I am replying to your last post!

if knowledge is power and power corrupts, isn't knowledge therefore dangerous?
Black Tower

I'd pay more.
My want of playing as an ODST would have me buying it for $20 more than I am.
Not good I know, but too bad for me huh?
