Ok VaultingFrog. Heres some facts Id love for you to deny
Xbox 360 FULL GAMES start at 60 dollars. This is for FULL GAMES mind you.
Lets stop here for a moment. A "full game" is decided by the developer as well as the producer. Not the player. They say its a full game then tough cookies for you, its a full game.

Expansions for games start at 10 dollars. ODST is a self proclaimed EXPANSION. What makes it worth the extra 50? I think the 10 dollar expansions for Fallout 3 had just as much content, and were twice as fun. Keep in mind, THEY WERE 10 DOLLARS!
ODST was originally developed to be an expansion, which was then later revised to being a "full game" according the following video: Link. At about 0:23 they state that they made a "full game". That right there blows your idea out of the water. Sorry come again soon.

What was so great about the campaign? The story was iffy, hard to follow and didnt really leave you feeling anything. The campaign consisted of running around a dark city OVER and OVER to find stupid beacons. The running around in this game was awful. And who wants to play as a weak old ODST. Exactly what about this campaign was good? Do you enjoy running everywhere? Was it too much to ask for a mongoose here and there?
Ah so now you want to argue personal preferences and issues. That really degrades your points as everybody has different personal preferences and issues with this game or for any game for that matter.
The story for me was fantastic. I enjoyed the characters significantly, each seeming human (more than what any of the other Halo characters did for me) with their own personality quirks.
Going from clue to clue and seeing how things unfolded was exciting for me. It showed the fight for New Mombasa from several different viewpoints, each person going through different trials than the other. I find that to be much better than just a single viewpoint showing just a small amount of the battle rather than the more wide spread view in ODST.
And what is wrong with running? Probably 50% of the other Halo games involved you running on foot from point to point. Doesnt that piss you off to? Or are you just going to overlook that since your playing as a Spartan just like everybody else (not litterally everybody mind you)?
I would rather play as a New Mombasa cop instead of a Spartan to be honest. I cant stand Spartans any longer. For too long those overrated tin cans took the limelight from the men and woman who really fought the war. The men and woman who fought on countless fields of battle and died to keep humanity safe. Realisticly the Spartans as a whole played only a very small and limited part in the war. Only Spartan-117 did anything truely significant during the war and yet it was at the very end and he only succeeded with Marine/ODST/Elite support.
And there are plenty of vehicles to be found in ODST. You have Warthogs (all varients) in the flashbacks as well as Costal Highway. Scorpion tanks are plenty to be found in the game. Banshees, Phantoms, Ghosts, Choppers and the Mongoose all appear in the game. Hell there are 4 Mongooses to be found in the Mombasa Streets level alone. Not to mention the 2 to be found on Costal Highway on Legendary.

Bottom line is, this expansion WAS NOT WORTH 60. As a matter of fact, NO EXPANSION is worth 60.
I agree that no expansion is worth $60 from me. However the bottom line is that Halo 3: ODST is not an expansion at all. It has been named a "full game" by both Bungie and Microsoft. If you dont like on it then tough cookies.

When GTA4s expansions were announced at 20 dollars a piece, I thought, who are these idiots trying to rip me off for another 10 dollars? Sure, the content might be fun and exciting, but is it really worth a third of the cost of the game itself. Hell no.
Thats because the developer wanted them to be expansions. Each of those expansions had more than enough content to warrent the title of "full game" in my opinion. But its what the developer/producer wanted. If you didnt see it before please re-read my post again as I clearly outline cases such as this.

That being said, was ODST, AN EXPANSION!!!!!!, worth full price as any other game. Hell no. This game would have been better suited for a 20 dollar price tag, MAX!
Again, get over it. Both Bungie and Microsoft have deemed Halo 3: ODST to be a full game. I have already given you proof of such. So stop crying over something that you can not change. If you dont like the price then I suggest you dont spend your money on it.
But it doesnt really matter to me, its your money not mine. I for one got what I paid for and am happy about it.
