Re: Wow.

In Response To: Re: Wow. (Revenant1988) : I always wondered why it wasn't simply called Halo: ODST.... Perhaps because Bungie felt a like awkward launching the exact same engine, so they thought they should warn people not to expect a new engine? Dunno. Only explanation that makes sense to me. : Wrapping up my thoughts: I think the other thing that counted against ODST : from a marketing standpoint would be the price fluctuation. When it was : stated early in that this by design was a small campaign, isolated within : itself as a chapter in the overall Halo Universe people had certain : expectations. Here, I think MS was setting the bar low on purpose, almost : like they were trying to play down ODST (that's just my thinking) and then : the price was raised to justify the additional maps and such. It’s like : they didn’t want to confuse people away from Halo 3m yet the two were : clearly integrated feature wise. : I just wonder if maybe ODST didn't achieve what the others achieved not : because you didn't play as Master Chief, but because : of the price confusion : of the length of the game (expectations, even though it was CLEAR going in it : was going to be short) : of the ambiguous title (may have confused someone who isn't into Halo like we : are) : of a lack of advertising by comparison : I mean, did you guys see a lot of push for ODST like we did for H2, and H3? I : just don’t remember….. I see your point. Makes sense. I personally loved it, but I can see now how it must've been a fan thing to enjoy it that much.
