Well, Bungie did it again. They managed to grab every little dollar out of our pockets to buy their maps. When you bought Halo ODST, you just bought all the Halo 3 maps, a 6 hour campaign, and a Firefight Mode. So why is this such a bad thing? As many Halo 3 players know, you CANNOT play online without buying Bungie's new maps. By including this into ODST, they make it sound as if your buying a new multiplayer. Well, your not. Your buying their maps and playing the same multiplayer Halo 3 owners are playing. The 6 hour campaign is just okay, nothing to love there. Firefight mode is a new addition to the Halo universe, though, it doesn't make up the games flaws. If you love Halo to death and want a short campaign, you'll be pleased. For the reasonable gamers who know that Bungie just ripped us off, think twice before you buy.
