If halo 3 odst takes place in the time of halo 2 why don't they call it halo 2 odst? Or halo 4?

Because it uses the Halo 3 engine. And this is an expansion, so it wouldn't be halo 4.

July 24: "Halo 3: ODST is a full game" They're keeping the three because the game is taking place around the same time as Halo 3. Bungie said it themselves.
EDIT: Microsoft said it was a Full game, and Bungie said it's a Standalone game.

I forgot to put in the post that Microsoft sais ODST is a full game, and Bungie said it's a stand alone game.

Halo 3 was the latest bungie game and it would sound weird going back to 2 if the latest s 3 it's like calling Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 something else like COD 4 MW 2, it doesn't sound right

It shouldent be like that1 It should be in a full game! if it's 60$ it should be a full game but sence it isn't make it 40$ like bungie said that they were making the halo 3 recon and they said it would be 40$ in the magazine. Then when they changed the name to halo 3 recon to halo 3 odst they changed the price... that made me very mad!

it is a full game it been said and anouced a few times, It just uses the engine of Halo 3 but more done up and detailed with better effects, it's not a add on or an expansion. Please stop complaining about the price no-one is forcing you to buy it, it's cheap

Despite my better judgement, I'm going to attempt to answer this question... at least I think it's a question...

It is a full game, with a full story and plenty of features. It is standalone, as you do not need to have Halo 3 to play it (but who am I kidding? We all have it). It is an expansion in that it uses the same engine and many of the same gameplay mechanics (though yes, not being a Spartan means alot of changes). It's $60 because it is a full game, and also because c'mon, it's Microsoft... but we shant say such heresy here.

Because Halo 2: ODST would confuse customers.
