I guess you have to be into Halo to really to enjoy the game.   
 
I agree that a short campaign and one new mode is not worth $60, but then again I am not a huge Halo fan.

" do we really need more threads about this? "

1) If you don't own the game the how do you know how long it is? I am on my second play through and can say it took more than 5 hours.
2) No, you don't already have all these maps and according to Bungie the new maps will NOT be made available on Live.
3) "all it has different is firefight and a campaign, which hardly seems like its worth 60 dollars" . Really? You don't think that a game with a campaign mode, co-op multiplayer and full multiplayer is worth being a regular priced game? There have been plenty of regular priced games with far shorter single player campaigns and no multiplayer at all, why not complain about them?
   I'm sick of this issue, if you don't think it's worth it then don't buy it. Plain and simple.

 you don't think that a game with a campaign mode, co-op multiplayer and full multiplayer is worth being a regular priced game?

No, no we don't. "

If you have to ask, mano521, then you'll probably never know. I'm not saying you're wrong, but if you were the kinda person this product's made for, the answer would already be a foregone conclusion. You'd have plonked down your $60 and been taters deep in Firefight already.

" This is essentially fan service.  Halo fans will love the new campaign and it is varied and well made enough that even non-fans can find something to like.  Period. "

That full multi player IS the same as Halo 3's.  Why pay $60 for something that is available in another game for less money? "

chances are your not buying it just for the Halo 3 multiplayer disc.

" @calidan777: 1) true i have never played it. but i am listening to the several reviews that say "Very short Campaign"  every single one of them do 2) yes i do. i have every halo 3 map except those 3 new ones. i dont know how you can tell me i dont lol. And personally i dont think that a 10 dollar map pack is worth the 60 it takes to get them. 3) and no i dont think it is worth it to have a short campaign and a co-op aspect to that same campaign. i already have the multiplayer. i think odst is more of an expansion than a full on game. hardly any graphical upgrades were made. same engine. 2 new weapons. big deal.     if you honestly cant handle responding to the thread in a smart way then just dont buddy "

I'll say again, you don't already have all these maps if you don't have the three exclusive to ODST, that was my point. Your icon looks like a Modern Warfare 2 logo, maybe I shouldn't buy it because it's being made on the Modern Warfare 1 engine and I might be able to get through the campaign in under 10 hours.   If all your gonna do is make a thread trolling ODST then just don't buddy.

 He clearly said in his reply to you that he has all of the available maps for Halo 3 that are currently available without ODST.  Chill out.   Where is this 'he has a Modern Warfare 2 icon so he isn't justified to have an opinion' coming from?  You have a Halo avatar does that mean we should invalidate your opinion because you clearly like Halo enough to buy ODST. No.   People look for any reason to bicker about a subject. "

Which is pretty much why this thread just kinda has to die.  I feel the TC is just getting antagonistic at this point, and there are some people lurking who just wanna keep giving him more amunition. "

People shit a brick that valve creates Left4Dead 2, but Halo 3 ODST is a brand new fresh game? Lawl.

Game isnt worth paying for at all...so rent it if you want to try it.

Yeah, I know he said in his reply that he had all the maps except for the new ones, my point was that the reason I originally said that no, he didn't have them all was  because in his original post he said he "already had all those maps". I brought up the Modern Warfare 2 thing because I've noticed alot of CoD fans bashing ODST for some reason, personally I love Modern Warfare  and Halo. This thread just seems like a way to troll ODST. "

you again. didnt read the next part of the sentence saying "except the 3 new maps"   and im not bashing it at all. im trying to understand why you would buy it. and so far you arent explaining yourself at all "

Look, your obviously down on the game so why do you want people to tell you why they like it? Will me telling you that I think it's an awesome game that's worth every penny make you decide to go out and buy it? If so then here ya go: 1) Great gameplay 2)Great story 3)Great music 4)Great characters 5)Great multiplayer "

Game is a good solid 7 hours on Heroic solo, Firefight is awesome and best iteration of the Survival Mode concept to date and Halo 3's Multiplayer is still awesome. Forge, Screenshots, the impressive as hell Theater Mode and Bungie's amazing Online integration and Stats Tracking, Things everyone takes for granted, especially the theater mode, all make this one hell of a package.

being skeptical on whether or not buying the game is different from being down on it. and im not asking why you like the game. im asking why you bought it. how could you be sure it was worth your money. because it really doesnt seem like it at all. im sure the story and campaign would be fun. but it seems more like a rental to me.                      and once again, multiplayer is the exact same as the one i already own "
