As far as I can tell, you seem to be getting the same amount of content as halo 3. Plenty of people bought that game at full price.
Microsoft Defends Halo 3: ODST Pricing
- Thread starter Keane Ng
- Start date
Orbital Drop Shock Trooper, it was stated by bungie when they announced it for the people who don't know the halo lore. They are also known as helljumpers.thiosk said:
Im sorry? They are asking $120 (AU) for this? I think they need to do more to justify the price, cause even im skeptical for this. As I have all the maps that are available already, so that is not worth it, maybe if they maintained the original price they would have more sales and customers... not deterring some of them.

Be fair guys....Bungie is not owned by Microsoft anymore and needs to make a living. I admit that I am a huge Halo fan and I WILL be getting the ODST Collectors Edition for sure. I have no problem paying for quality.
Stop the whining. Get jobs.
I dont blame Microsoft at all-yes its taking the piss, but then everytime they sick up another couple of multiplayer maps on Xbox live everyone cheers and produces their wallets. If your going to cover your arse in offal and go swimming in shark infested waters, you cant really complain when you come out with one arsecheek less than when you went in. At least they aren't splitting core elements of the game up and selling them seperatly like those arseholes Capcom did with Resi5 multiplayer. If we keep paying out, they'll keep pulling this bullshit.
ODST was originally intended as a small expansion, more of an experiment in game development for Bungie than a full retail release. During the mysterious sorcery of its development ODST became a full retail release, and thus it's only natural that consumers are expected to pay for a full retail release.
Additionally the meaning of ODST is given in the gameplay trailer and within the first two sentences of the Halo 3: ODST article on Wikipedia.
Do you think you'll still have the clarity of mind needed to use a neural interface when HLF comes out?Cliff_m85 said:
Does it really matter what ODST means? The title isn't Halo 3: Orbital Drop Shock Trooper, it's Halo 3: ODST.thiosk said:

Actually, no. The Valve dilemma is: BAAAW, they aren't giving us the free content that they promised. Here, the argument is: BAAW, they're going to try to make us pay full price for a mission pack and the same multiplayer package all over again.yankeefan19 said:

I respectfully disagree. They at least carried the story to it's climax and conclusion, and added other features such as live play and forge and other in game items, however much you use them is up for debate, but they had a reason to existtheultimateend said:
Well I mean, I play both PC games and 360 games, and I would be pissed the hell off if every class update for team fortress 2 cost 10 bucks, and you can't play any ranked matches if you don't have all the classes.D_987 said:
It's bullshit, that's what it is. I can't play any team slayer with my buddies, because only like 2 of us actually think that the mythic map pack is worth it. Trust me, it's not.
I love how Bungie claims that they "are now separate" from Microsoft, but still make games announced by, marketed by, and published by Microsoft.Digikid said:
