Subject: Not gunna buy it? Prove it!

bring the flame

For the last few days many of the threads I've looked at have been OMG $60 for maps I already have and a horde mode, I aint gunna buy it.

Lets just talk about gow2 horde mode for a mo. Anybody who has played it knows its easy if you just camp one area which has a good weapon spawn in it.
According to bungie, staying in one place is suicide. gow2 is the most cumbersome, glichy, overrated game since......oh yeah, gow!! This may I remind you is HALO! The game that is still, after two years, the most played/loved game on xbox live.

I am sick to death of people saying, ''I may buy it pre-owned or not at all'' peaple who probably still play halo on a regular basis. Has nobody told you yet, it isnt cool to be unimpressed by eveything!!

Anyway, I have decided to do a little experement. If you are NOT going to buy ODST the moment it comes out or even not at all, then simply post here with your thoughts on ODST and its, if you ask me, generous price considering the success of H3.
I shall make a note of your profile and when the game comes out in sept I will see how many of you have already racked up hundreds of firefight stats and repost to show the halo community how many pretenders there are in this place!

Feel free to post your opinion regardless of whether or not you will buy it. Thanks for helping out!!!

EDIT: 'Huzzah!' has become a very popular word in this thread so in any future posts, use it!!!

Lol, this is a good idea, although will probably attract a lot of haters. I for one already have the Limited Edition pre-ordered. I will be at the midnight launch.

8 hours ahead lol, but In all seriousness I'll most definitely 100% be pre-ordering it and I'm sure you'll see loads of stats coming from me.

I'm buying it because it's oddly cheap in the UK. Possibly the UK division of Microsoft saw us as less hard-core Halo fans, so decided to lower the price for extra sales. The fools have no idea.

MWAHAHAHA!

The universe is probably littered with the one-planet graves of cultures which made the sensible economic decision that there's no good reason to go into space--each discovered, studied, and remembered by the ones who made the irrational decision.

renting count? Figure I'd rent it to get the elements I want out of it, then when the price falls to $40 after the first moth or two get it then used for even cheaper online. I know the price is a rip off, but the faster people buy it at $60 that think its worth it, the faster the price falls.

srsly you never played gow 2 horde mod(40wave to 50) yet because if you have played it you know if you stay in one place bloodmounts will kick your a**
I don't think stay in one place will be a suicide 4 people in one place with an ar can kill easly brutes(not chieftain with hammers),grunts,drones and jackals
i think the only problem will be the hunter(gold too<) i think this strategy will work only at the first waves and after doesn't work anymore tough...
sry for the bad eng...

seriously!! how much will us brits be getting it for?
£35, but in the US the prices make it £45 if we were to follow the pricing.

So we effectively get it for £10 less.

Huzzah!

Renting eh? never thought of that. I will watch your stats carefully to see how long you 'rent' it for. A couple of weeks will add up to about the full price of the game........
