thanks. but what do you mean by holiday thanks giving (lol) or x-mas or what?

Exactly.

One thing I have noticed in the gaming industry is there are a lot of new games and content that comes out in October and if a company doesnt announce anything new by then, it means they are holding something big for the Christmas rush. After all it is business.

Plus Bungie is notorious for surprises at the holidays and unexpected gifts. I suppose thats way I would say around those times. Maybe even around Thanksgiving.

I dont think it would be a new gun otherwise it would be available in Halo 3. It may just be a modified version of an SMG like many people have previously suggested.

Do we get new gun(s)?

I've been keeping it clean.

It's FALL 2009 right now!

Anyone else watching Ghost Hunters?

I was really more interested in knowing more about the timeframe Recon is set in.

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


Haha. I knew all that. I was asking what happens during this timeframe.

A lot of bad stuff. To be honest I'm just as curious as you. I dont remember any ODSTs being deployed around the time of the jump so it will be curious to see if you fight with the heritics later on in the game or if you continuously fight against the covenant and flood forces.

They said something along the lines of using more stealth ((which would also explain the title)). I just hope that Bungie didnt decide to go the Tom Clancy route like Splinter Cell, but then again they could end up making it very original and exciting. All I know is there is going to be a lot of assumptions to the gameplay and Im sure there will be many threads dedicated to this in the Halo 3 forums.

No one expects the Spanish Inquisition...

The brutes are brute stalkers from halo 3. they're like the sneaky invisible guys. the military police

.:Disobey the Norm:.

How I got Recon.

So the rumors were true, A Halo Tactical Shooter. Good move Bungie, I like where this is going.

a bucnh of new recon info!!!!
http://www.xbox.com/en-US/community/news/2008/1008-reconprevi ew.htm
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.


in the article it says stand-alone. so it'll be on its own disc, but i too am confused about the statement "All of the new multiplayer maps fully support the Forge editor, offering endless gameplay customization possibilities." is it just going to have the same forge editor on it as H3? that would make the most sense to me.

P.T.S.F.

PEACE. THROUGH. SUPERIOR. FIREPOWER.

That is actually pretty fast. Just think how long we waited for the Halo games to come out. A year is nothing to wait for if we are getting a very well in depth game with great new story.

  • 10.08.2008 11:48 PM PDT

This whole Year till fall of 2009 is going to be VERY INTERESTING!

I doubt the maps here are the Mythic Maps. At Comic Con, Frank and Joseph Staten apparently said that there IS a Mythic Map pack...I doubt the achievements from TU2 have ANYTHING to do with Halo 3: Recon( I love the name btw)

The only thing I'm worried about is how the Stealth aspect affects the gameplay. I have always loved how the Halo games feel when I play. But stealth is one of the reasons why I despise MGS and the Tom Clancy series. It is not Halo's style. I understand if you want to stay alive and you don't have the Chief's godly as hell Armor...You're going to have to be stealthy but...In a Halo game, I can't picture anything different than the gameplay we all have come to love.

I don't know...But regardless...Good job Bungie! You got one customer already.

I might be wrong but did any one else see the new weapon the last brute was holding because it didnt look like a Carbine

Nothing is so embarrassing as watching someone do something that you said could never be done.
