...for criticizing the price of ODST. Now before you bash this thread read my points and tell me you don't agree. For $60 you get:

1. Brand new campaign (on the somewhat short side 6-8 hrs but up to 10 hrs with exploration)

2. Firefight mode (all new multiplayer mode similar to Gears of War's Horde)

3. Every Map Pack released for Halo 3 (total of 24 multiplayer maps)

4. Halo 3 multiplayer (for new 360 owners who haven't purchased Halo 3 yet this is huge..you can play Halo 3 online without buying it)

4. Access to Halo:Reach Beta (arguably worth $60 itself)

...and Activision owes us an explanation.  For $15 you get:

1. 5 multiplayer maps (2 of which are on MW1)

So honestly ODST is not such a bad deal after seeing how Activision wants to rip us off on this new map pack.

the main reason why people criticize ODST's price was that they first said $40 and then changed to $60.if they had priced it $60 then people wouldn't have bashed it so much.

second was that although it introduced a big bag of new features and modes like L4D2 did over L4D,it didn't feel as big as a Halo title like previous Halo's.

Halo is a very big franchise which reinvented FPS genre and fans expect a huge increase in quality from every iteration
