Despite this, however, there are those who feel that the game lacked the "oomph" Microsoft has put behind past titles, and that the game could simply have been marketed better. And one such person is Bethesda Production Director Ashley Cheng. Writing in his blog, Cheng seems favorable to the game overall, but feels "Microsoft and/or Bungie totally bungled the marketing on this." He notes the turbulent history behind its development, going from an expansion pack to a "full game," and the name change which accompanied it-- to say nothing of the price hike.http://360.kombo.com/images/content/news/blurb_odst_20090923.jpg
