If a moderator would kindly change my name to "JohnKiller118," words cannot describe my thanks.

Ahh.. Halo single-player. I missed that. I used to punch grunts to hell before I got Live. Thank you Bungie for giving me new levels to spread alien gore on.

everybody listen to mac2po he is 100% right

I'm glad that it is a Fps and not a third person shooter. Can't wait until the game itself comes out.

Halo: CE Anniversary Achievement Idea
C-C-C-CANNON BREAKER!
Let Sgt. Johnson die on Halo.

There are a few things I would like to know.

When do we learn more about the Mythic Map Pack? There's still five maps to be announced.

Also, will the music in the trailer be made available to us before the game release? That music was pretty awesome.

Fear is the path to the Dark Side!

Okay, I've read a couple pages and I can't find my answers.
1. Will we be able to play halo 3 matchmaking with the halo 3: recon disc in?
2. If we buy the mythic map pack, will there be a discounted halo 3: recon without the maps?
(not really fair to have us pay for them twice)
3. How many estimated extra hours of gameplay is the expansion?

I'm awesome, check my personal site.

will there be new armor permutations to aquire ?, or will you get to wear the current armor you are wearing from halo 3 ?

Wort, Wort, Wort!

hey! i think i know what is up with thoses signs at the end. i think the little ball guy (superintendant i think is what he is called) is going to help the odst guy just like cortana helps the chief! i mean it makes perfect sense. also it looks like halo 3 recon is going to be more about stealth and "GASP" NO SHEILDS!!!!! there goes the "Skill" of all the people who just ran from checkpoint to checkpoint to beat Halo 3 on legendary lol. i saw other ppls comments about how the gun the odst has is just a silenced SMG but come on ppl look at it in the trailer right when the light from the big sign shines on him. Does that look anything like a SMG tweaked or not tweaked? Seriously i think with no shields and a whole different playing style i would think bungie would give us some guns that suited that stealthy aspect. Although yes there probably are going to be some of the older guns but they will definatly be the more covert ops types like the smg and the sniper and will also probably be tweaked. also im pretty sure the multiplayer maps will, when you first play H# Recon, be put where ever the heroic and legendary maps are on your XBox 360. (u do have the maps right cause it's just -blam!- if u don't, one of the packs is free 4 God's sake and the other is like 10 bucks) then im not sure what they are going to do with the campain but i have this feeling that u will have to switch disks to play the campain because this is more of a whole new game than it is a expansion pack no matter how much it stands alone. this said i think bungie is saying it is a expansion pack because it isn't really a sequal or a prequal it's just a side story "expanding" on the big storyline gap between chief going to the second halo (installation 05?) and him coming back to earth. mostly it's for ppl who want another point of view just like how bungie gave us the view of the arbiter in H2. also ppl are saying that bungie is breaking thier rule of no more in halo trilogy. well this is more of a campain add on then a whole new HALO 4. it is still a trilogy they are just adding new campain levels. for ppl who say adding to halo 3 still breaks the rules then does adding mulitiplyer maps also break it? if you say no then guess what your contradicting yourself! Everybody just be happy to get more stuff to play that has the word Halo attached to it! Also for everyone who says it needs master chief to be halo Guess What! No it doesn't Bungie has made a great universe that doesn't always have to be centered around Mr. 117 there are probably a whole -BLAM- load of ppl who would like to be an ODST for a change of pace. If you don't like it it's not like your not allowed to play normal Halo 3 anymore. Also 4 ppl who looooooooooooove masterchief but are sad there is no halo 4 ever comming out and MC will just drift in space forever and ever! relax Bungie never said no more Master chief just no more Halo. The reason? Halo 1,2 and 3 were about the installations or the "Halos" now that MC deactivated them Bungie isn't going to make another game about them. that be milking the idea just a little tooooo much. im pretty sure we are done with the halos. don't fret though because there is still alot of things MC could blow up. like the beheaded covies making a new superweapon or the Flood coming back, or the best of all somethin to do with the forerunners!!!Just because they aren't making any more halo things doesn't mean they are done with the halo universe or the UNSC or the Covies or the Flood or Forerunners or even MC. it just means they are done with the Halo rings and maybe the arc too :( . Also for all the ppl that are confused about the timeline of Recon the Brute are the leaders in the time because if you remember halo 2 only took place over maybe 3 days or so at the most a week. in fact im pretty sure Halo 1 and 3 had that sort of time frame aswell. besides the eletes got kicked out of the covenant almost imeadiatly after MC killed the first prophet (Regret or Mercy?) witch wasn't to long after the new mombossa slipspace event. Besides the forrunner ship took a little time to get back so Recon would be happening around when chief is in the ship trying to kill truth. also about the Brutes armour and wepons being Halo 3 style when it is right after the end of Halo 2 There probably just being issued in the frontlines to better combat the humans because when slipspace is in use it probably doesn't take too much time.and 4 ppl who whant to know the ODST's name it is ............................................................. ............................................................. ............................................................. ............................................................. ............................................................. ............................................................. ............................................................. ............................................................. ...................... Bob lol jk.

Holy -BLAM- did i really write all this?

ok so i dont get it then is it kind of like the whole map pack disk with halo 2 you install it on your xbox and then you just use the halo 3 disk or do you play with this disk so you can only play with other people using this disk

and is it that the mythic maps will work for both halo 3 and this disk cause if thats the case then the question i just asked above brings even more questions

Subject: Bungie Weekly Update: 10/10/08. one question i have

"Lifes a game i play with it"

hay bungie love the halo 3: recon idea. i jest have a one question that maybe other people can answer me.

if this game is part of halo 3, but has another cd to play on the xbox 360. does that mean halo 3: recon has a different matchmaking system or does the game it's self jest download to the xbox 360 and we don't need the cd to?

good, please stop spamming the forums with stupid half baked ideas based on misunderstood facts blended with paranoia. 88% of these revelations were not news if your reading comprehension skills were at least par.

Subject: Please add...

the one who dies with the most toys wins

Alright I read the story on Recon, but I do not want this to be your last Halo project towards the Halo trilogy or Halo 3. Look I have been a Halo fan for a long time, I maybe rather new to this site, now one thing I have wanted to do after playing Halo:CE was to be able to create my own map.

Bungie Team you guys gave us a bite of the steak and now we want the steak dinner. I know you can do this. I want full control of map making, I would like to add my own ruins, or buildings not just add a few walls/boxes/shields/weapons. I want to add some AI to a map.

Like maybe I have a bad day at work and would like to create a small map with a lot of Grunts and some Elites. Seeing how they have different A.I. I could watch a small battle. Maybe I would like to create an epic battle. Maybe I just want a lot of grunts that I can run through.

Please before you give up on Halo 3 please take into consideration that some people would like to add some A.I.(or bots) in games, and maybe someone would like to create a map from scratch. I know you guys can do it, you have shown the world what you are capable of.

Thanks for taking time to read this post.

Wow… this is going to be awesome!!11!1!
I love the look you guys have given the ODST for the trailers, he looks so BadASS!


I have a couple of questions though:

I notice there is a silencer on the SMG/NewGun, does this mean there'll be an element of stealth added to the mUCH lOVED Halo3 action in Recon?

The Title 'Halo 3: Recon' suggests you play as a Recon Marine, despite the trailer intoducing us to Mr.BadAss ODST, where does the Recon part of the name tie in?
i.e.
Will he be promoted to Recon in the Campaign? or will we be able to unlock 'Campaign Playable' Recon Armor once we've complete H3R on legendary?


thanks You Guys Rule
;D

If they do they better start dishing out flaming helmets for 'Those who would've been worthy for Recon' as I think the move would devalue the armor.

Are you serious? Oh man, you have failed at Halo 3, the internet and at life (suggesting you have one.)

Congrats. ;-)

Typical Halo nerd. Move along.

OMG, thank you SO much!

I do have a couple of questions, if you don't mind answering them.

1) Will you release ViDoc's like you did with Halo 3?

2) Any chance of some screenshots being posted of eraly development?

3) Since this is a stand alone disc, will their be any addage of new Multiplayer Armor, or, possibly, the addition of Brutes to Multiplayer?

4) In Co-Op mode, will the 3 other players control ODST's as well, or plain Marines?

5) What type of Maps for Multiplayer are in development; i.e City Maps, Jungle Maps, etc?

6) Will all multiplayer vehicles such as Banshees, Wraiths, Hornets, and, dare I say, Elephants be in this game?

7) Any new weapons besides the Silenced SMG?



Thank you for taking the time to (hopefully) answer my curious questions!
