I can understand how it's a pretty good deal to the people who haven't purchased a single piece of downloadable content, but to the people who have it seems like we are getting ripped off.
Whatcha think?

Bungie=Bungie's so awesome I have no words

Yes I think it's worth it.

The Collectors Edition with the controller is better value, especially if you have a controller on it's last legs.

I'm just going to get the campaign disk on eBay and then download the maps on the Marketplace. I don't see why people who have already bought Halo 3 have to buy the full standalone version again.

I don't see why they don't just make two versions: The first one would just be a downloadable expansion pack with the Mythic Pt. 2 maps, and the new campaign. That would be the expansion pack. The second version could be like Halo 3: ODST + The original Halo 3 Campaign + All DLC. they could make that something like the "Game of the year Edition"s.

If you buy this game, and all of us here will, then evidently you feel it is worth the money.

However, whilst I will pay $60, I do not think it should be priced at $60.

Why?

Simply put, compare this game content-wise to Halo 3. Also note that Halo 3 ran off an all new engine, and featured many new gameplay additions and improvements.

When you look at it that way, you realise that ODST should only really cost $30.

I believe that ODST is NOT a new game. It's an expansion. However, I also believe that it has enough content to warrant $60 (concerning people who DON'T have DLC or DON'T have access to Xbox LIVE). Otherwise, it's worth $40.

  • 08.15.2009 8:06 AM PDT

I think it is not worth the price for people like me, because I bought everything at full price, even the Heroic before it went free. It's not fair to make me pay for the maps twice.

I swear to god if someone says that a Beta is worth money again, I will slap someone. Betas are supposed to be for FREE. Halo 3's beta was for free when it came with Crackdown, and a six hour campaign is not worth 40 dollars. I swear, the best deal in video game history was the Orange Box. 5 games in one box for the price of ONE. Also, if you did by the other games, at least Valve made the ones that people didn't buy available for individual purchase. Why can't Bungie/Microsoft do this? Greed.

The Orange Box issue is actually very worrying. On these forums, people are looking for any excuse to take the blame off their beloved developer, Bungie. Microsoft is the most common scapegoat. However, if Microsoft let Valve sell the Orange Box for the price of a single game, why wouldn't they let Bungie sell ODST for, say, $40?

My guess is that Bungie had something to do with it.

Spartans are from Venus and Elites are from Uranus

I don't agree.
ODST comes with it's own campaign and it comes with it's own multiplayer in Fire Fight. Fire Fight comes with ten of it's own maps right out of the box. This much content is normally enough for other developers to sell their games at the same price. Just look at Army of Two. It also includes saved films and 4-player co-op.

Then the Halo 3 multiplayer disc also comes with an additional three maps that Microsoft will most certainly charge ten dollars for on the market place at some point. And we also get a beta invite to Halo: Reach.

It's no where near a rip off. Halo 3's multiplayer excluded it still contains more content than most games.
