I'm Sorry Halo 3 ODST is A RIPOFF!!!1

OK we're going to pay 60$ for an expansion that comes with a beta to halo reach, 3 new maps, and the actual game itself or expansion.

According to developers the game's campaign is a little shorter than halo 3s, which by no means was long at all (unless you're a bk), and firefight is the only thing looking interesting in this game right now. the 3 maps and reach beta id say are probably worth 15 to 20$ max alone. But I'm trying to judge just halo 3 odst, not the add-ons. You're paying 60$ for an 8 hour campaign and firefight, the only way this game has value is if you didn't already have the original halo 3 so you could play the multiplayer.

Sorry halo fans this is a huge ripoff and I dont see it selling millions like halo 1,2, and 3, why? it's a freaking expansion and tons of people have moved on from halo 3, i actually think it was a bad move to include 3 into the title, and with so many other games calling this fall I'd see more kids picking up mwf2 than this ripoff sorry.

I'd see more kids picking up mwf2 than this ripoff sorry.

Wow, nice logic.

ODST is a steal. The campaign is about as long as a Gears 1/2, KZ2, or R2. And for someone like me who just got into Halo 3 multiplayer, I get all the maps. Plus new co-op.

the campaign of ODST is much shorter than any of those games

Nope. I beat all those games in around 6 hours.

Plus it does look good. I'll take the hands-on impressions over people who haven't played it.

Whatever floats your boat, my friend.

Oh, so it's sub-HD like MGS4 and COD4? Oh well.

weclome sw to the one hundred thousandth halo topic, boy for such a lame game you would think halo interest would just go away and we would never hear about it again...like lair....and haze...and heavenly sword and eye of judgement and killzone 2 and ratchet and clank and socom and motorstorm and ect ect ect....;)

Yup, exploration and adventuring is a key part of ODST. I know I'll milk more than 6 hours out of it.

Well, that's your opinion and you're entitled to it. I disagree, though.

lol those games are atleast like 10 hours long.. If you can beat games fast, then you probably finish halo odst in like 3 hours...

An entirely new campaign and Firefight sounds great to me, I really don't care. $60 is pocket change as far as I'm concerned, complaining about it is a waste of time.Floppy_Jim

It'd be very much worth it, IMO, if it were around 40-45 dollars...GodofBigMacs

None of the games I mentioned lasted me 10 hours, and I went through them at a pretty normal pace.

Well, if it confirmed that the game will be shorter than halo 3, then yea i really doubt that halo odst will be longer than any of those games..

[QUOTE="BioShockOwnz"]

[QUOTE="Microsoft1234"] Uh you're paying 60$ for a campaign shorter than h3's, and campaign has never been good in the halo franchise except the 1st, the 3rd game was trying to be dramatic but it wasn't, and firefight is the only thing even interesting. Microsoft1234

Well, that's your opinion and you're entitled to it. I disagree, though.

No. I'm a human being so awesome that I can understand that Halo's campaign is an entertaining experience. If I wanted to have a story that moved me and made me weep, then I'd read a book (which I already do).

No expansion, no matter how much content it may have, should ever be full priced as a matter of principle.Vandalvideo

i guess it depends on how you trhink about it.. but I agree with you TC. I think map packs itself are bogus and overpriced.. and def not worth it. I was hoping ODST's inclusion of mp maps would be more of an added bonus then a fleshed out "feature". 60 or whatever it costs is completely over priced and way out there. I'd like to say, though, that I wont buy it.. but you never know. A bunch of my friends are getting it at launch.. we'll see what happens.

I also think it's messed that you can't play 90% of the game variants anymore, unless you get the map packs. (no ranked whatsoever i believe?)

bull *%@!!

Yet people complain left and right for L4D2 EVEN though previews of the game have indicated that it feels like a true sequel and not an expansion. Yeah, I know...L4D2 is coming just one year after L4D. I bet that if Halo:ODST did the EXACT same thing and released only a year after Halo 3, people would not complain about it. There is just this really odd unhealthy love for the Halo franchise. And this is the VERY FIRST topic I've ever seen complaining about the price. It's about time. Also, people seem to believe every little thing Bungie says. Developers usually are wrong or blatantly lie about a game's length. So if it is being said the game be as long as GeoW was, then you can probably divide that time by half.

So basically...

1. LFD2 = longer game, new features, etc, and people are mad as hell about it

2. Halo ODST = most likely shorter game, new features, and people are fine and dandy with the $60 price tag. :roll:

Why is there so many Halo: ODST topics lately? I don't get it, and I only see it coming from cows. Lay off the kool-aid, the game is as long as your precious KZ2, anyway. (And yes, I have a PS3)Chiddaling

Don't buy it then. Simple solution.

Finishing a game in a certain time can often become a subjective matter. I personally spend 1-3 hrs more finishing a game than what's written in reviews.. It took me 14 hrs to finish the original Fable and about 12 to finish Fable 2. With FPS I usually tackle a level or two per day until I complete it. That could total 10-15 hrs depending on the difficulty level. So it's all in how you approach the game.. Do I personally think ODST is worth full price? Not sure but Bungie originally announcing this game as an expansion pack doesn't give me a good feeling about spending $60 on it. Will I buy it? Most likely yes.. but I'll probably will wait for a 10-15 dollar price drop. (you can usually find good deals during the holiday season).

its rare to find a game that is not sub-HDpeople just think its HD cause the back of the box tells u but there is a diff between actual 720p/1080p and being upconverted to 720p/1080p
