I'm not gong to quibble about the price. However, you're right about the content. At first I didn't realise what was going on as it was a new game etc. However, I start to wonder why the story didn't really make much sense. It's not as if the game has a bedrock of backstory to carry it along like the later Halo games had (although they did have plenty of put to carry them anyway). It really needed a strong plot to enthral people, but was clearly badly lacking.
