I personally am in the camp that for the 2 million COD users on 360 that are in that game constantly, $15 is not overpaying at all. They will easily get a few dozen hours on those maps - a bargain if you compare it to $10 DLC story expansions of a couple hours. For others? Not worth it. So then don't buy it. *shrug*

Value is a hard thing to judge. The Orange Box is probably one of the best values (for the price at release) recently. There are PLENTY of good games that can't compare to the value of The Orange Box, so it's almost unfair to compare ODST to TOB. That's comparing something that Halo haters regards as an awful value with something that's regarded as an amazing value. It would be put into better perspective to compare the value with something regarded as a good value, but not something at the top.

Well, it's moot anyways. Most console games have little to no value compared to PC games. Essentially though, PC gamers tend to judge value based on time-investment. So I value D2 and SC and WC3 (Dota) and WoW for the 1000s of hours of play I've gotten from them. Or the ~600 hours I put into Morrowind and Oblivion. Console games that take 20 hours just don't compare to me. But console gamers tend to judge the quality of the gaming experience as true value. That's why a franchise like Uncharted can be regarded as a great value. There are plenty of people that don't play the multiplayer who feel that way, and for what? 10 hours of play? For $60?

Value is far to difficult to judge since people have different perceptions of value.

There's no way there are 2 million people playing COD games at any given time.

Ehh, it is a bit unfair to the people who already bought the expansion packs. But the SP was certainly better than 2 and 3. Firefight mode is fun too.

Well I'd say your opinion has to be taken with a huge pile of salt here.  A simple search of your gamertag shows that you've never even played Halo ODST's campaign or firefight modes so how could you really be able to judge the content properly by any means?  Furthermore, you've played barely 200 games of Halo 3 and never achieved a rank higher than 6.  When the meat of this game is extending halo 3 online entertainment and giving halo fans a new story, I for one find the price point to be just fine for the amounts of content.

I didn't mean at the same time - - - >  I just meant people that have played 50 hours+ of multiplayer.  Heavy users.  Not concurrent users.

There was around 2 million playing around the release of MW2.  It was discussed on a Major Nelson podcast.

Thats cool brother, but if you read my posts you will know I am a huge fan of Coop. My brother who owns a 360 wanted the achievment points for his account "Oily Sausage" and I played Coop with him and beat it and loved it. I don't care about achievement points and he does so nice detective work , but I am not lieing.  I played as one of his several goofball accounts that are no longer on live.

IF you realy care that much look up "OIly Sausage". I only give my opinion on games I have played. Notice on my tag it Shows Halo ODST, but with no pionts.

PEACE

Dont question my halo fan status. I probably play halo ALOT more than you do and i could get some people on this forum to vouch for me. I and many other BIG halo fans i know absolutely hated the ODST campaign. And if you owned halo 3 and all the previous map packs and didnt like the campaign or firefight there was little left to like. Thus i feel that ODST was a poor package worth nowhere near $60.

I got it for 30, and it was worth every penny, lol I sold my Halo 3 disc, and just finished playing ODST's campaign again for the 4th time yesterday.
