Microsoft has defended its Halo 3: ODST pricing, which is currently the same as a full release game...

Despite the fact that Bungie representatives have previously stated that they do not believe Halo 3: ODST is a full release game or "$60 title", Microsoft has now defended its decision to price the title as a full release, $59.99 (£49.99) game.

Speaking to Joystiq, a Microsoft spokesperson said of Bungie's previous comments, "At the time of those statements, the overall scope of Halo 3: ODST was not yet finalized, and since then the project has grown increasingly more ambitious. We believe this standalone experience is much more than just an expansion. Halo 3: ODST provides a new campaign from the point of view of an entirely new character. Combine that with three new multiplayer maps, the entirely new cooperative mode called Firefight, and the complete Halo 3 multiplayer collection on a standalone disc, we feel this is a good value and tremendous addition to the Halo franchise."

Has Microsoft taken it one step too far with its Halo fan-base? Tell us what you think in the comments board below...

halo 3 odst takes part between halo 2 and halo 3. ur an odst because bungie wants u to be an odst. not a spartan. why? because its something new. if u dont like it...then dont buy the game.but its just an ideal. if u die in 2 shots? its because u dont have a ''shield''  have to be more carefull were u are in the game or else u die. if u dont like a hard game, as i said before. ''dont buy it''.

i agree with the post below, u talk about master cheif as if he is a god or summit,the point is, if u played as a spartan it wud be to easy, this is meant to be a stealthy, more scarey halo, cause now u dont have a noob sheild protectin ya 

 

drop it ppl and for the person who sed if there is no spartans there is no halo, ur wrong, if there were no big rings in space, there wudnt be halo, i heard jhonson is in this game, how? no idea, just what i heard

omg you lot are realy sad, its a new twist on halo and might leed to a sequel however maybe in its sequel you might find out how the troops become spartans, quit moaning about master cheif if hes not in it then hes not in it END OF.

if this game retains the game play of previous halo games then why shoud master cheif or spartans make any difference to the game play.

im sure true fans of the halo games realy dont care if master cheif or spartans are in it they just want to play a new halo game.
