Did you all hear the news guys, MW2 is £55. Yep thats right, MW2 is now £14 more expensive than ODST, the game that all CoD fanboys were saying was overpriced.

I geuss we can all talk about the irony of this situation.

Also...if your wandering why I'm saying this it's because of all the MW2 fanboys saying "ODST is so expensive...It's only a stupid expansion unlike MW2!".

Also on another note...ODST is full price (£40/$60) because it is no longer an expansion.

What? Keep in mind the fact that Amazon always lies about the RRP for games.

It costs as much as a new Xbox 360 game.

ODST is cheaper than that.

About the U.S version...I dunno. Just give me a second to find a link to the article.

In this great future you cant forget your past

ODST and MW2 are $60 US. One has 3 new maps while the other will have a completley new multiplayer component, and arguably a longer single player. Last word I saw MW2 will also have fully fleshed out co-op chapters rivaling the length of the single player, DWARFING ODST.

I didn't mention Firefight for lack of matchmaking.

  • 07.16.2009 11:55 AM PDT

1 thing is Sure ODST 49,99 Euros :P
and Yes odst is cheaper then COD MW2 because that is 62,99 Euros YAHH (same site)
Suk it COD FANS

And that's a valid reason to leave out a feature?
Wow. See it's people who buy games for matchmaking only that make companies dole out the same rehashed -blam!- as the other company. Time to look beyond who you get to teabag, kiddo.

Your a complete idiot. ODST has three new maps for the HALO 3 disc, and an entirely new multiplayer called firefight. So MW2 and ODST are even right now.

No-one knows how long either campaign will be so don't make stupid assumptions. Both games still even.

Both hve Co-op, ODST supports 4 players, MW2 supports 2 players. But MW2 co-op plays differently than the single player. (ODST gets one point for supporting more players, but MW2 get 1 point for using a different approach towards Co-op. Both games are still even.)

Okay both games are even, ODST has rivaled MW2's features, now lets see how MW2 rivals ODST'S...

ODST has a free roaming aspect to it, and linear levels. (+2)
MW2 has just linear levels. (+1)

ODST has taken a new approach to the HALO series (+1)
MW2 had done jack -blam!-. Infact due to this reason MW2 is actually more of an expansion then ODST.

ODST is £40.(+1)
MW2 is £55!

Lets add up the scores shall we...
ODST=6 points
mw2=4 points

Source?

Anyways both games are $60 in the US so its even there.

u really think an expansion is the same as a full game. u sir r an idiot. im sorry but really MW2 is a new game that has NEW multiplayer MODES with an S not just a mode like ODST has. ur scoring is so one sided its ridiculouse. hell i have only played modern warfare once and im sopporting its sequil cause its a FULL GAME.


and yes ODST is way too over priced for a expansion. it should only cost 45 bucks at the most.


If you think ODST is to over priced why ever bother to buy ODST and buy the stupid COD
ODST is here in the netherlands 49,99 euros and COD MW2 is 62,99 thats 12 euros more. ODST over Priced WRONG.
COD MW2 over priced TRUE.

Okay? Can you actually spell, write or even read? ODST is a full game, it originally started of as an expansion for £30, but further on in development, they realised how that ODST was slowly becoming a full retail game, and no longer an expansion. And if you have watched MW2 gameplay footage, you will see that not much has changed from the first game. But don't get me wrong, MW2 is going to be a brilliant game just like the first one, but honestly it doesn't look that different, and it looks like more of an expansion than ODST once was, And even a full retail game doesn't warrant a price tag of £55!

I'm not buying an expansion for 60$ dude
When you hear the word expansion, don't think that it's lacking quality from what it's originally expanding from.

  • 07.16.2009 12:46 PM PDT

In us there both 60.00 :D

QFT. Plus "ODST is much more than just an expansion". Tose are Bungies exact words, jus go check out the project page for ODST.

Modern Warfare 2 will only cost that much if you buy it from the wrong place. I've seen it online for £36-40 already (to be pre-ordered, obviously).

Don't be a fool. Those RRP's aren't going to reflect reality.
