Sigs are stupid.

H3: Recon?

I'm sorry, but this project seems like a total cop-out. It seems like Bungie is afraid of taking risks and deviating from the only project they've done that achieved major commercial success.

Learn a thing from Lucasarts, Bungie. This franchise is tired, and you're starting to lose old fans like myself.

Ban me for speaking my mind, I dare you.

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?

I have high hopes for this newly announced title.


I do as well.

It will be a refreshing change to be able to play from someone else's perspective and story.

I don't know...what this kind of seems like is a bad Disney sequel (see Lion King 2 / Aladdin 2 / Anything 2). Using old stuff, repackaging it, and selling it not for quality, but just to make a quick buck off of material that was creatively written and produced.

I don't think it has anything to do with fear...I think it has more to do with the quick buck on the side.

1. Small team.
2. Short deadline.
3. Little new material.

Quick Buck?

Just a thought...

One more thought...I've always loved Bungie and I still do. No crime in making a quick buck - smart business strategy.

They had the update because they wanted to inform their fans of their new material that is up coming. Please do not discourage early material.

Either way people don't like them - if they don't release information fans get annoyed. If they do release information, people like you get annoyed.

I like any and all information - keep it coming!

"Seems to me you should spend less time on that article and more time working on that novel you've been working on!!!"

Great update Bungle. Little bummed about the Mythic map pack, but I can wait, it's probably better that way since I'm so busy with classes and whatnot. New game sure sounds like fun, look forward to hearing more as the "new year" begins...

I miss playing Halo with my friends.

They have other projects in the works right now, so shut you mouth until you find out what those are.

actually its more like the 8th page....

This game is going to be awesome, but theres one thing I don't get. If you play as an ODST that arrives at New Mombasa after Regret flees in H2 why is it called Halo 3: Recon, shouldn't it be Halo 2: Recon? Doesn't it take place during the time of Halo 2?

  • 10.10.2008 9:22 PM PDT

:( i dont wanna wait that long for the mythic maps

  • 10.10.2008 9:23 PM PDT

i think it goes from that part through halo 2 up to the part where halo 3 ends.

One blaam-of-a update!

This is why Bungie is the greatest in this business. Can't wait for playing as an ODST!

Bungie less than three! =]

  • 10.10.2008 9:46 PM PDT

i found IWHBYD without hex!

Anyone else notice the totally tricked out BR the ODST had in the trailer? Obviously H3: Recon (H3R) will have some other little treats for us. I doubt that they'll incorporate new weapons into multiplayer though...

If they make it like that I would expect it to be a long game, and I really hope it is.

This is because it is based on the Halo 3 engine, not Halo 2's.

If you look at it carefully its an SMG (I think) with a silencer and one of those sights attached and that other thing guns have attached on the back....I forgot the name, the thing you place towards your shoulder, whatever thats called...

  • 10.10.2008 9:57 PM PDT

Sry, but I don't know if anyone has asked this once before or a hundred tim es before but I'm not wasting my time reading 8 pages of post's but as a standalone disc will this be a multiplayer because I heard a rumor from someone that told some1 that it would have multiplayer? I also know that it is supposed to be only a campain add on? If any1 knows for certain could please clear this up?

Hey dude some people actually read the books and follow the story. From a story stand point I think this will be awsome to see what the average run of th mill ODST faced instead of looking at it from the Chief's point of view. Because he is a complete beast.
