Since its highly-anticipated launch on September 22nd, it seems Halo 3: ODST has been flying off shelves and into Xbox 360 systems. USA Today reports that the Bungie FPS has sold 2.5 million units worldwide, amassing more than US$ 125 million in revenues
Earlier in September, pre-orders for the game went soaring past 1.2 million, so it would seem that the amount has doubled since launch, plus a bit more.
Michael Pachter had a few words for the game's success. "That's pretty good for a game that most called an expansion pack," he said. I'll leave you guys to comment on that one-liner.

Pachter makes me laugh though, all I see him saying now is either common sense or a mockery of others. The guy needs to STFU.

I have Halo 3, but never bothered to buy the new maps, so the multiplayer disc has value to me, since it lets me play ranked again. The firefight mode is awesome, and with friends its incredible fun. No matchmaking sucks, but you at least don't get stuck with annoying tards like you.
The campaign was fun. It was perfect length for me, I like a shorter story with awesome multiplayer, that's just the way the trends are headed. Stop flaming, it was too big for DLC a la L4D2, and $65 is WAY worth it.

So that's $50 for a super short campaign.
I don't see the value...

Oh and by the way seasoned halo veterans will take about 8 hours or so to complete it if they play it on legendary (I wouldn't have wanted it to go on much longer to be honest). If you play it on any lower dificuly expect it to be way too short. I had fun sneaking around in the dark but the story arc needed to finish when it did, anymore and it would have just been too drawn out.
Highlight of the game for me was taking out a scarab in the flooded new mombassa.
Lethal_NFS, some people just play for the story and are not interested in multiplayer.
ODST is great story adding some much needed depth to the halo universe, for once it's not just all about Master Cheif. The maps are a nothing inclusion to me, I haven't even stuck the second disk in.

2. The game's story is based more on the novel, than anything, you see finally a new creature that wasn't in Halo 2.
3. Its more like Halo:Combat Evolved than Halo 2 or 3, because it has the overshield and health.
4. Last but not least, RECON ARMOR.
