The second disc is not a free bonus, without it, the game would be cheaper. I want to be able get the ODST disc one by itself, then download the new maps, and in the process save a few bucks. And don't say "The Halo Reach beta makes worth $60!". No, it's a beta, so it should be free.


No, you wouldn't save any money doing it that way. Remember Bungie added the second disk, to make the $60 price tag more worth it. It was $60 before.

The only reason the game is $60 is because of the second disc, MS confirmed that already.

Hey your lucky you are getting that also I mean people without the map packs could get those maps and u wont save money because remember 800 ms points= $10 so to get that content you'll need to still pay though i still agree the beta doesnt make the game worth more since the beta has limited time

For their decision required courage beyond measure, sacrifice, and unshakable conviction that their fight; our fight, was elsewhere. As we start to rebuild, this hillside will remain barren, a memorial to heroes fallen. They ennobled all of us, and they shall not be forgotten, Fleet Admiral Terrence Hood March 3, 2553"

Sadly, its price comes from Firefight. If it was just a new campaign, they would do exactly what you said.

One thing I have to say is ITS FOR THE MONEY
think about if for a second people who haven't got halo 3
yes not all of the people who have an X-box have halo 3
so if they have the maps with the game ODST they might like it and buy halo 3
ITS NOT FOR YOU ITS FOR THEM AND PEOPLE WHO HAVEN'T DOWNLOADED THE DLC
thats all I have to say

  • 07.16.2009 11:03 PM PDT

I think the OP has a point. I'm sure most of the people who play Halo online already have all the maps. For a new campaign, which if its anything like halo 3's you can beat in 8-9 hoursish, and firefight 60$ seems kinda steep. But as other people said, there's nothing we can do at this point, but to enjoy the game.

stop whining

As tempting as it was I decided not to start attacking people with the crowbar.

A full price game costs around that anyway, if anyone doesn't have the complete DLC by then then they will get it much cheaper than downloading it. For everyone that has all the DLC then they just get ODST which is hardly a bad thing. Problem solved lol

Bungie's On To Me!
More Webcam Awesomeness
And more....

I received Recon for being awesome. Like it matters anymore. Thanks ODST! :D

It doesn't really matter to me. I'm just glad that the Collectors' Edition with the controller is reasonably priced.

Ok Saberburst im so sorry if im not clever thats wat xbox live is for :)

That would be nice, but sadly, that is not a part of MS's money making plans.

It's not particularly expensive for them to crank out the discs with the Halo 3 multiplayer and dlc maps, but it justifies the price tag.

1) It would be $60 anyway.
2) It has more content than Halo 3.
3) There is absolutely no reason you should be -blam!-ing here. Stop spamming and go to M$.
