The following is sarcasm;

When Im not playing Halo 3 online, I play Halo Wars, I will be buying Halo 3 ODST for $60 to continue playing online, and will take a break every once in a while by playing the beta for another FPS; Halo Reach.

It is really enough to make you sick.

... I just hope I can buy Halo slurpies and mountain due when Halo 3 ODST comes out, so the power of sugar and caffeine combined with the marketing power of Halo will be there to nurse me back to health.

with that being said, I am sure ODST will be a .. game, but at $60 that takes me out of the buying equation, but I am the exception.

There is no doubt that this "not an expansion anymore game" will sell millions and millions.

Why do you come off as so upset over this game and it's popularity?

Since you asked.

And keep in mind, this is just my opinion here;

I am not SO upset. But it is infact an expansion of Halo 3, there are tons of Halo spinoffs nowadays with more coming, and to me, it seems like the blind acceptance of anything with the name Halo on it just perpetuates a bad cycle that developers will continue to follow through with.

You ask; why am I upset with the popularity of ODST?

are you kidding me, the game hasn't been released yet, and all of you people are just handing over your money already without considering what it is that you are actually buying. People need to wake up. Just because there is a lack of anything better to purchase, does not mean that this "halo game" needs to be purchased.

Where is the compassion, where is the uniqueness of something new. See things for what they are- and this is just something for Microsoft to make money, and to fill the void.

You ask; why am I upset with the "popularity" of ODST

I ask; Why would I not be?
