I miss playing Halo with my friends.

I'm so confused. If I play Halo 3 Recon online then i'll be also playing with people that are using Halo 3?
Yes.


Is Halo 3 recon going to have every map that Halo 3 does?

Hyping it up, I'm excited!
I'd like to know if you guys plan to have a worldwide release like you did Halo 3? I'm sure you can't confirm this right now, but do you think it may happen?

Plekpedia - The most epic site in the history of ever.

Can't wait for H3R but I just wish a tiny bit that they would reveal the Mythic Maps already

DEEP NNN = Depends

Clan 2old2pwn on 2old2play.

Don't let yesterday use up too much of today.

Great! That answers some of the questions I posted for the Podcast.

I do have other questions for the Podcast so I hope someone from Bungie still reviews those.

  • 10.10.2008 6:05 PM PDT

Will Halo 3: recon have you with the cheif ?, because you guys said that you would start to the events leading up to the end of Halo 3.

  • 10.10.2008 6:05 PM PDT

Well I can safely say that Luke's update answered most of my questions. Good job, maybe now we won't have to look at a flood of "OMG HALO#3RECONZZ" threads everyday on Bnet. I'm still slightly dissapointed with the Fall 2009 release date, but if thats how long it takes to deliver quality than I'm fine with it. Mythic Maps and "Halo Wars" should give me my Halo fix for the next year.

  • 10.10.2008 6:05 PM PDT

If the Mythic Map Pack is coming out in early 2009 that means it will have been 9-10 MONTHS since the Legendary Map Pack came out.

That's just damn sad.

"Every morning when I rise I aspire to greatness"

rar. -.- anything else to this so called 'Weekly Update' I mean enough to fill the void that is Recon but what about everything else? And you wonder why so many of us complain...

  • 10.10.2008 6:08 PM PDT

>>KEEP IT CLEAN<<

Thank you kindly for the update! I can't wait!!!

  • 10.10.2008 6:08 PM PDT

Edge 2.0 - The New Sandtrap, but out of the map!!!!

Sick, new achievements for Recon.

  • 10.10.2008 6:08 PM PDT

It sucks that we have to wait till early 09 for the Mythic Map Pack. But I bet it's going to kick ass.

  • 10.10.2008 6:09 PM PDT

Eat it

What about game appearance? Are we going to see an improvement in graphics or a change in art style? I understand using the same engine, but If we're talking Fall '09, Halo 3: Recon's graphics are going to have to be a step up from Halo 3 to compete with everyone else out there...

  • 10.10.2008 6:09 PM PDT

Will the network coding for multiplayer campaign in Halo 3: Recon be any better than Halo 3? It runs quite laggy for me and my friends when we play, and were all in the same city.

I am ACRaven. I play stuff. That is all.

Useful Stuff: Skull Guide, Forum Rules, Armor Gen.

Good update. The only small letdown is that we have to wait until next year for the new maps. I guess sense there are six maps (according to the achievements) there will be a longer delay. I just hope the delay isn't too long. Can't wait for more info!

Nicely done Shishka... you're doing a great job filling in....


Credit where credit is due: This is lukem's article, I just posted it for him since he's still writing haiku while sitting under the sakura trees hoping to meet the girl he promised he'd marry when they were children and he had to move away to be a journalist.


Well, okay then... Great Job Luke, Shishka, and quite frankly, the ENTIRE Bungie crew. The new game looks great, and even just two minutes worth of music lets me know that Marty has outdone himself yet again. Everything looks and sounds great. I have a feeling the "Fall of 2009" will actually come quicker than it feels like right now.

Besides that I am a little disappointed about it not being DLC. Although that will mean we wont have to worry about XBL overflowing on a single day as well as DL malfunctions.

My Best Bungie moment: finally beating all the Halo games on solo legendary.
My Worst Bungie moment: not seeing giant stuffie grunts in the Bungie store.

Cool
But there are still some things that need clearing up.
"If you purchase the Mythic Map Pack early next year via Marketplace and your friend waits and gets them with the Halo 3 : Recon retail package next Fall, you can still play together. The multiplayer maps are all part of the Halo 3 "title ID" family, regardless of where or how you get them."
-Will Recon have the original maps as well? Could someone with Recon play on Sandtrap against someone who has Halo 3?
-Also, if you bought Mythic in Winter then got Recon in Fall wouldn't you be paying for the same maps twice?

iDon't need an app to make fart noises. There's an ass for that.

Sweet update. I hope this clears up alot of questions.

I actually have one right now...

With Recon being an add-on, would it be possible to release new armour via the new disc? If I understood everything correctly, you will be able to play Halo 3 Multiplayer on the Recon Disc. If this is true, it would be awesome to have new armour available for everyone.

When playing as the ODST Trooper do you get "Shields" like in Halo CE 2 and 3, or will the screen go red when you are close to dieing and you hide like a noob untill you're all healed like in COD4?

The quote above has me worried - is such an "ambitions release cycle" a sign that Bungie is inching toward the dark side?


No. It is ambitious because they want to get it done by that point. It really doesn't require that much work, seeing as how it is an expansion and most of the base code is already there. It is ambitious because it isn't 3+ years after Halo 3 came out, but if Bungie was only working on this, we could probably have it in 2 or 3 months seeing as how they started 7 or 8 months ago. The ambition lies not with the actual project, but with the fact that they are working on more than one project, and so skew the previous model where they worked on one project for at least 3 years, released it and focused on the next project for the next 3 years.

  • 10.10.2008 6:14 PM PDT

Does this mean you guys are going back to the ending of halo 2 with profit of regret ?

Then again, we're getting SIX new maps, one of them supposedly a forger's dream. I think the Mythic pack will be worth the wait. Mark my words.
