The gun he is holding is a M7S
The M7 is the SMG, what we are used to
the M7S is a SMG with a Silencer

My thoughts on the matter.

It is an expansion to Halo 3 (judging from the title) so the core gameplay will have to be the same. It's most likely still an FPS. I would guess there's no equipment as in the original Halo 3, but that the ODST has some kind of heat vision as seen in the video. The new weapon is a regular Halo 3 SMG with a scope and a silencer. I think the ODST that we control in this expansion will be dramatically weaker than the Master Chief. The focus will be shifted from large-scale destruction to a smaller scale. One brute might be a huge obstacle to overcome; advanced tactics will be necessary and well integrated. The game will probably have a more filmic, subtle tone due to this.

There is no way we'll have to wait one year for the Mythic Map Pack. They did a little blooper by adding the new achievements a bit too early. One year early is just too much to be true. We will have the map pack before this year is over.

I agree with rodrigo45.

I'm sure Bungie won't make us wait for a full year for the Mythic Map Pack. Most likely it will be out by Q4.

Wow.

Girl Gamer - Halo Waypoint Rank 60 =]

Halo 3 - 1750/1750
Halo Wars - 1200/1200
Halo 3: ODST - 1000/1000
Halo Reach - 1000/1000 =]

you never no this new game/exspansion might actually just be a small new story line of them trying to find the chief since they never actually did find his body ( and we all no he can never die, unless were playing as him =] ) so this Recon team might be searching these planets trying to find the chief before anyone else does...

my guess is if thats the case and the chief got off some kind of becon or signal, or they were able to somehow track the ship he was on. Then will see alot more of the legendary sparten in due time.

If it can be imagined, then it exists.

I wonder if KEEP IT CLEAN has anything to do with that sign on the Pillar of Autumn.

You cannot be brave if you do not fear.

Too awesome.

Crafty: the events in the trailer take place during the middle of Halo 2, as the ship jumps into [hyperspeed?]...

now spendning 10 dollars to change my name to ODST Brigadier has bean justified!

  • 10.09.2008 4:40 AM PDT

Looks like a great game, but I'm going to shoot in the dark and guess, this is a whole new game based on events taken place during Halo 3 from a different point of view expanding the game around that time from but standalone, also adding new story that could mention what might take place when Master Chief returns. Halo 3:Recon and the Mythic Map Pack sound look two different things meaning one is a whole new game base on events and one is New maps for Halo 3 alone. But if for some twisted reason there both one of the same that would be F-Up if we have to wait a year for new maps for Halo 3. but that's just me guessing.

Glad to see that bungie released a new trailer not long after the first one. This one doesnt tell entire books, but at least a chapter I guess.

Oh and the music is totally awesome, especially the part in the end, where they present the title. Starts from 2:30 DAMN thats epic.

Another full yeah, maah

  • 10.09.2008 4:45 AM PDT

Sweet!!!!
Probably the best trailer I've ever seen.
But next year?!? Come on...
Still, we love you Bungie!

  • 10.09.2008 4:47 AM PDT

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

I don't know what to say other than... I can has pre-order link please?

  • 10.09.2008 4:49 AM PDT

Wow, this new project looks really interesting. It'll be fun to play from an ODST's perspective...
Wonder if it'll be using Halo 3's engine. Just too bad the trailer was pre rendered. :]

  • 10.09.2008 4:51 AM PDT

do you think there selling recon?

  • 10.09.2008 4:56 AM PDT

If we don't find a way out of this soon, I'm going to lose it. Lose it. It means go crazy.
Nuts. Insane. Bonzo. No longer in possession of one's faculties. Three fries short of a Happy Meal. WACKO!
:-)

so that is a big fat NO on it being DLC then...

looks cool, not apparently squad based, but still a year away. so let's move on. give us some indication on Mythic.
