Not to mention it comes with matching armor for your horse.

The half life 2 episodes have both been about 3-5 hours, what's the big deal?

Once more, it's an expansion. It's not meant to be a brand new game. It's just meant to tie up a few loose ends.

The HL2 episodes are around $20.
This will only be worth it if it's at most $30.

Why are you complaining? It's as long as any other "epic" shooter (CoD4, GoW, Halo 2/3) that has come out in the past 2 or 3 years.

@ H Choi

Crysis: Warhead was also a 5 hour game.

I don't think you're grasping the concept of an 'expansion'

Didn't mean to complain. Just disappointed is all. I got the impression that it was going to be a full campaign instead of an expansion since it wasn't being released as a DLC.

So two years after halo 3, the best they can do is 3-5 hour game? Yet somehow, Epic pulled off GoW2 in the same time span? It can't be that hard given all the tools from Halo 3 should be there.

It's probably just a small Halo 3 content team working on this while the rest of Bungie work on some big new super-secret project.

So, 3-5 hours... Is that the same as 2-4 hours for anyone who has actually played an FPS before?

Generally when the makers toss out a number, I like to chop off a good 25% or so to get a good estimate of the actual length, but when the given numbers are so low, I'm not so sure.

But 3-5, Halo 3 was 3-5, maybe a little more if you didn't play the first 2.

I played through Halo 3 on legendary with two other people and it definitely took me a lot longer than 4 hours.

Gonna be hard to justify anything more than $20 for this when Oblivion's expansion offered around 20 hours of new content (with awesome rewards to take back to the main game) for I believe $30.

Oblivion also offered 100 hours out of the box, but still cost the same $60 as every other game out there.

RPG, meet FPS.

That's a bad comparison because just about every game is released at $60 whether they deserve to or not. However, when it comes to expansions the price is always up in the air and up for debate.

I don't think paying $30 for an expansion that lasts at most 5 hours is a good deal when you get one that offers 20 or more hours for the same price.

They mentioned it would be a budget release. 3-5 hours is fine with me if it's priced accordingly. $20-$30. MAYBE $40 (still $20 cheaper than normal games).

You expect me to actually read the article when there are all these exciting stories about the launch of Yet Another Warcraft Expansion!!!!?

Blizzard isn't being perverted by Activision, they're the perfect fit for one another.

"the boys at Bungie are downplaying the game's length, insisting it's not "a $60 game" and is more like "a three to five-hour expansion pack.""

This does not imply that they are saying it's not a $60 game but are saying it is one but not to think of it like that and just a 3-5 hour expansion pack. In other words don't think of it as a full fledged game. Of course they have yet to even release the price considering there's still a entire year to go till it's release.

Interesting. No matter what they price it at, there's going to be a shitstorm of whiners complaining it's not worth it.

And now that we know it is actually expansion-sized in length, wtf is Bungie REALLY working on?

I waited a little less than 2 years for HL2 EP 1, I can wait for this. I'm just anxious to jump into a new Halo game cooperatively with my best friends.
