lol if you are talking about the apparent negative 6 that is a bullet point. and yes the equation is simple but i spelled it out in as simple of terms as possible

Two wise young men meet at the top of a mountain and futally attempt to push each other off while the third, much older, wise man, that was first to the top, watches. After hours of struggle a victor was decided. As the victor turns to him, too tired to fight more, and the wise old man begins his climb on another hill far above the hill he recently occupied. The victor is left bewildered and lacks the energy to climb further. The wise man and the older wise man were now in their rightful places.

I just hope it's good enough to play over and pver and revise tactics and compete with friends to beat high scores.

Odds are I will be playing the game 4 times (Once for regular normal mode, once with friends on legendary, once to collect everything, and the final time I will be playing it several months later while waiting for reach) thats about 40 hours of gameplay right there, I will be playing Firefight non stop for the first month, and I will play that for at least 20 hours, and then the H3 multiplayer disk, at least another 75 hours before Reach Beta comes out, when that Beta comes out, I shall surrender my life to it.

though this starts to show total play time, it's not the 'length of campaign' if you know what i mean

93% of statistics are lies. Formerly Xfire Grunt. Unfortunately, you can't change the WLID for your BNET account, so I had to create an alternate account. My other WLID was spam city (and it was my e-mail account too).

A 9 Hour campaign is worth $60 if and only if .... the game has a fully functioning multi-player. Not to mention Halo 3 supposedly had a 12 hour Campaign that took me 7 hours on Legendary.

Halo 3 ODST does not have a fully functioning MP, and thus is not worth $60. By the way, don't say movie games. They might release for $60, but a month later they are $10 at the Bargain Bin. AAA titles are what I am talking about.

this is in your opinion, as it stand the MP is not needed to sell the game. Force unleashed is prime example of this with a rated 7 hour campaign and no multiplayer. It was a AAA title that sold for $60.

so no it doesn't need the MM to be marketed. this is all about appropriate marketing, not opinions on appropriate marketing

lol that would be humorous, however i did only count 6

People who report others on the bungie forums are so cool!

Expansions are never longer than the game they are expanding to.

Around E3 it was CONFIRMED that it's shorter than Halo 3. Halo 3 took me 8 hours on my first play through and 4-6 hours on a play through today.

though it only took you 8 hours to play through the first time, Halo 3 was rated tor a 14 hour campaign. none the less the numbers i'm using come straight from bungie updates, podcasts and interviews.

marketed i guess is the better way to put it. It was determined to play as an average of 14 hours to completion of campaign

i'm sorry... we'll break it down.
if you have six objects(that's one for every finger on one hand and one on the other hand) and you add 3 more fingers you now have 9 fingers being used!

Check out the group, Planet Reach and talk about Bungie's next game without the annoyance of the public forum. Oh and it's nice there too.

You thought you had lag, it took Jesus 3 days to re-spawn.

He was being sarcastic but this is a good explanation. It wont shut the complainers up but it's still good.

Well playing on a harder difficulty will obviously increase your playing time.
