I KNEW IT HAD TO DO WITH ODSTs!!! (the drop pods in the beggining gave that hint)

(Spartan 117 The Masterchief) But you were dead a thousand times. Hopeless encounters successfully won. A man long dead, grafted to machines your builders did not understand. You follow the path, fitting into an infinite pattern. Yours to manipulate, to destroy and rebuild. Now in the quantum moment before the closure, when all become one. One moment left, one point of space and time. I know who you are. You are destiny

Looks exciting! But in my opinion you can never replace the chief. Maybe their not trying and I have all the faith in bungie but please dont forget the hardcore fans love spartan 117 and feel like we still need some closure on that matter. Anyways looking forward to it!

That link uses the words multiplayer, expansion, forge, etc in the same paragraph. Does this mean this will be an install that interacts with Halo 3 (much like Tomb Raider: Anniversary was a download that used the Legend disk) or a separate disk? Either way, will users of just Halo 3 be able to play against those with Recon content? I would hope so, other wise it might fracture the H3 population, leaving fewer players for the H3 only content.

wow... that totally took me and my balls by surprise! This looks freaking awesome can't wait for next year!!! Although i still want to know what ever happened to the Chief.

  • 10.08.2008 10:48 PM PDT

i am seriously at a loss of words. that was the best trailer i have ever seen, hands down. thank you again bungie. you never disappoint.

  • 10.08.2008 10:48 PM PDT

Oh...My...God.

That was some of the best music I've ever heard in a video game trailer. Good job marty. And...Wow...Bungie...I love you guys. its nice to see a game covering what happens in halo 2 and halo 3.

Wow...

I really don't know what to say. I may watched the trailer like 10 times already. Its...Just...So well done....

But damn. Fall 2009? I was kinda expecting something closer....well....For something awesome.....You gotta wait, huh?

And this is reminding me of Halo 3's annoucement. It happened at E3 and was released a year later on September. I'm guessing it would have been the same for Recon. Announced at E3, released the next year. Too bad Microsoft affected your plans but...Damn....This is sweet guys. Thx.

I mean...

Game Details

This new chapter in the Halo universe includes the following:

* All-new campaign content: The Halo 3: Recon campaign is an intriguing side story that takes place during the terrifying events leading up to the Master Chief’s return to New Mombasa in Halo 3. Experience the fate of Earth from the brand-new perspective of a special forces ODST (Orbital Drop Shock Trooper), adding a unique outlook and new gameplay elements to the events that unfold in the trilogy’s finale. While the feel of this new chapter greatly resembles that of previous Halo experiences, Halo 3: Recon will require you to employ more elements of stealth and cunning than ever before.
* Prepare to drop: Known for their courage, valor and, at times, insanity, ODSTs are among the fiercest UNSC soldiers, priding themselves on being the first unit deployed into hostile situations. While not as large or supernaturally gifted as their Spartan comrades, these "Hell Jumpers" more than compensate with their ferocious attitudes and unwavering nerve.
* Expanded multiplayer collection:No Halo experience would be complete without groundbreaking multiplayer content, and Halo 3: Recon gives fans more of what they love. With exclusive new maps and expanded Forge options, Xbox LIVE® Gold members will find more multiplayer content than ever before with Halo 3: Recon.
* Ever-growing community options: Enjoy all the great Halo 3 technological innovations, including Saved Films, screenshots, Campaign Scoring, and four-player co-op. All of the new multiplayer maps fully support the Forge editor, offering endless gameplay customization possibilities.


All these? Sounds like a brand new game. Looks like I guessed correctly...its a brand new disc kinda like CnC3: Kane's Wrath? Where its an expansion but its like its own game?

I can't take this excitement. I need to change my underwear. Ah forget it.

And, I like that its from a new perspective. I'm happy with where halo 3 ended and I could never see a continuation of the halo series from Master Chief's eyes again. I just couldn't. I'm glad you guys decided to go your way. But please Bungie, expand a bit on the end of halo 3, in a book or somewhere else...Because if not...Some people may get angry..I won't. I was really more interested in knowing more about the timeframe Recon is set in.

Wait...One last question, does this mean the ban on saying Recon has been lifted?

Its set back in Halo 2 when Regrets cruiser jumped and destroyed New Mombasa.

  • 10.08.2008 10:55 PM PDT

Awesome, Bungie!

I can't thank you enough for continuing to kick ass. You've got me playing Halo 3 again, and now you're setting the stage for what is sure to be an awesome campaign expansion.

Keep up the good work!

I knew they'd make something the same or similar to Halo. Didn't think there would be a game called Halo 4 with the Master Chief going after another halo and more alien races. I predicted they would change the story line. Looks good so far.

Well they only had a little bit that they could have expanded upon in the Halo universe that is shown in the games. To me it was likely to be a prequel and I was indecisive as to if it would be based on Spartans or ODSTs. Good to see they're sticking to leaving MC as the one and only Spartan.....as far as we know anyways.

Other Spartans may draw attention away from the MC himself much like Raiden did for the MGS series. I would hate to see that happen.

I think because it is still the Halo franchise, Microsoft still owns the rights. I don't really know how it works with Bungie becoming independent. I assume that they have full rights to expand into the other systems but it may have to be new games and not anything that has to do with Halo.

This is just an assumption so dont take anything I say to heart too much.

From the post that Snowdog made it seems like it will be a completely independent title with its own maps, forge, and media sharing aspects. The mythic map pack is going to be made for Halo 3 and I am sure ti will be out before the holidays or at least before Recon comes to consoles next year.
