Seriously I've been seeing way too many threads asking if the game is going to be worth the 60 bucks.

Halo 3: ODST has a whole new campaign along with a whole new multiplayer (which looks to be godly btw) It's pretty much a completely new game. And in addition to that it has all of Halo 3's multiplayer as well. Many other games have a questionably less worthy campaign and no multiplayer but are still $60.

well if u look it like this way halo 3 now is about 40 bucks lets just say plus 5 bucks cus the campain in odst is longer and another 5 to firefight so thats 50 $ and the new mthic maps would be 800 mp thats 10 bucks so that equals out and if 3 maps are for only 10 bucks the campain and firefight would be more that i estamated so i think its a good deal and if u havent bought halo 3 yets its a steel also if u would like to u could see your halo 3 u would get 15 20$ mabey u just would have to live with out h3s campain and achivments but if your like me i have all h3s achivments right now so ya i think its worth it

Your friendly and eccentric Sangheili forum-poster. :)

ODST has a new multiplayer? I thought Firefight could be enjoyed as a singleplayer experience aswell. And where has everyone got this "many other games" idea from? 7/10 of my games come with multiplayer, and have a pretty decent story mode.

It doesn't matter in the long run anyway. I'm getting it for £30, which is expansion price over here. :)

Well then those other games you say have questionably less worthy campaign and no multiplayer are a rip off. ODST is close to a completely new game, but you have to think what if they didn't include the second disc, and instead gave a download code for the maps. Microsoft says that the second disc brings up the amount of content for it to be $60. But we already have the second disc, halo 3's multiplayer, so we are paying more to buy halo 3's multiplayer again.
It's like their trying to make a good deal for those nonexistent people that don't have Halo 3.

ODST is still an expansion. It wouldn't be called Halo 3: ODST if it wasn't an expansion to Halo 3. It has new Campaign, Firefight, only three new maps, and Reach beta which is only available for a limited time.

If Terminator Salvation (shivers) can be worth $60, then this can, too.

Firefight is multiplayer. Multiple people can play at the same time, and as far as I can tell It doesn't have any plot related to it.

I understand that you can play it singleplayer as well. And the "many other games" comes from the fact that probably all of the games that you have don't even add up to 5% of all games that cost $60 upon release.

Lol Terminator Salvation isn't worth $60, its priced at $60. Would you honestly buy Terminator Salvation for $60? Don't use that to prove that ODST can be worth $60, use the fact that its going to be awesome to say it'll be worth $60.

Well if you look at it like this way, Halo 3 is now about 40 bucks. Let's just say we add 5 bucks because the Campaign in ODST is longer and another 5 for Firefight. Thats $50 and the new Mythic maps would be 800 mp. That's 10 bucks, so that equals out and if 3 maps are for only 10 bucks, the Campaign and Firefight would be more than I estimated. So I think it's a good deal and if you haven't bought Halo 3 yet, it's a steal. Also, if you would like to, you could see that your copy of Halo 3 would get you maybe $15 or $20. You would just have to live without Halo 3's Campaign and achievements. If you're like me, however, I have all of Halo 3's achievements right now. So yes, I think it's worth it.


That took me almost 10 minutes to fix...use proper spelling and punctuation next time so it's readable!
