It has all the multiplayer from Halo 3, including $17.49 (1400 MSP) worth of multiplayer maps. Then on top of that it has a new mode, some new maps, and a 6-hour campaign. The $60 price is fairly reasonable. I tend to think of it as all the extra multiplayer stuff not in Halo 3 proper as $20, and $40 for a budget sized Halo single player campaign. Your value on such things will of course vary, but for me it works. I'm not really interested at all in having the game, but I bought it because I like playing with my friends who are all hot and bothered for it.

Now, if you are only interested in the new SP campaign or already paid for the extra H3 maps then... well MS says f*** you.

You're preaching to the choir here.

If you only have a PS3, then "ODST is a ripoff".

If you have a 360, you have an 80% chance of liking Halo, and will like this.

I'd buy it if Beatles Rock Band didn't need to be purchased, and Uncharted 2 wasn't coming out so soon.
Thats the thing. The people ODST caters to are the people loved Halo 3 and if you loved Halo 3 chances are you played the multiplayer and if you played the multiplayer chances are you at some point had to buy a map pack or two to stay in the better playlists.


Its suspect, but I guess if you like it you don't mind.
Very true. I guess I'm "lucky" in that I didn't buy those map packs. So for me, I fall into the reasonable camp. I really kind of doubt I'd be getting it so soon if I had bought those maps.
Or you could buy it from Toys R Us, get $20 off, and a free mcfarlane halo ODST action figure ($12 value).
UNREASONABLE!
I didn't get any of the map packs cause my 360 was broken for a long time, so yeah ODST with the toys r us giftcard things is an amazing value in my eyes.
