A. No one paid full price for ODST unless suckers or they made no effort at all to look around, even on launch day. Everywhere had it for $10 off or coming with gift cards, etc.
B. I agree that some people didn't get full value out of the game, but that was your choice. If you play the campaign solo, do some co-op and play just one full match of firefight on each level, you're easily at 20-ish hours. If you do any of the achievements and challenges you are well over that. So yes, if people just play through the story and are done, it's short.
But that wasn't the point of the game. The point of the game was to explore and experiment and to play co-op.
The more time I've spent with it, the more I like it. (See gamer card as proof I am still enjoying the game - just played again last night.) Here's hoping Firefight makes a return in Reach (with matchmaking!). While not full featured like H3, it's a quality package. Many, many games are released full price with less content and quality.
To me it was a $40-50 game with a $10 map pack built in. And if you had NOT bought H3, it's an exceptional value getting all the MP.
Can't we all just get along and play our games in peace?
