Dont get too wrapped up in the Internet. It's already forgotten about you.

I'm impressed, Bungie.
Really.

You guys pretty much took a giant turd on the entire industry by making "another" Halo 3 game.

You guys said pretty much, "Halo 3 is the end of the series..."

But you guys didn't say HOW MANY Halo 3 games there were gonna be.

It's a bold statement and I really think you guys are pushing things forward with moves like this.

And on top of that... this is EXACTLY what FANS want.
We wanted more Halo 3 Campaign and more Halo 3 content and more Halo altogether...

Great job.
I mean it.

As much as I love you guys and as much as I'm a fan boy... I always play devils advocate and give you guys rug burns...

But this time...
AMAZING!
AMAZING AND BOLD!

Halo 1+Halo 2+Halo 3=AMAZING GAME SERIES.

Wow,awesome,but how many maps are going to ship in the mythic map pack? Just those two?

  • 10.11.2008 6:55 PM PDT

Hmm... amusing... yes...

I has question

Now since this is an expansion... do you need to have halo 3 to boot up the game?

or is this going to work with the new xbox ability coming out to partially download a game where you have to partially download halo 3 to work with recon?

or is this going to be completely stand alone where you can play multiplayer halo 3 with the recon disk?

OR does this mean that the recon items are downloadable and after you download them you can use your halo 3 disk to play the multiplayer content?!

OH GOD! IMAGINATION OVERLOAD!

Ok first of all great update, but we want to know what makes halo recon different from halo 3? what new things does it provide? Is there new weapons? is there or is there not new vehicles? how would this game change the way halo players would play?

  • 10.11.2008 8:15 PM PDT

Wort, Wort, Wort!

Omg more question that somebody who pays attention and uses thier brain a little can figure out already! lol no offense. firstly the other 3 players will most likely play other ODSTs instead of marine like some ppl have been saying.Also ppl have been asking what is going to be staying in the game from Halo 3. well use your commen sence H3:recon is based around stealth sooooo the thing that would make themost sence is keeping the more stealthy weapon type and chucking the ones that MC would use on a 1 VS. 100 senarioe like the Spartan lazer, Rocket lancher ect. Although bungie may do the same thing they did last time and make sure you have a part of the level that uses each specific weapon. As to the ppl wondering if they will get recon if they finish the game on whatever difficulty signs point to .............no. the game is just called Halo 3: Recon because you are an ODST (who will probably remain namless) who is doing reconacciance( forgot how to spell that srry) and it is more of a stealthy aspect to it. NOT a go out there guns blazing with tank-like power. also Bungie probably figured, Hey, If now that we have everybody ready to kill for the recon armour lets name something Recon so it will sell out bigger than Halo 3. i mean lets face it everyone in halo 2 was built up to buy halo 3 from the cliff hanger and mountian dew ect. now everyone who plays halo 3 want the recon armour and so when the word recon is added to something everybody buys it. i mean there's probably like only one person on Halo 3 that won't buy H3: Recon because it has the word recon on it. so just because it says recon no u can not haz recon. also i don't think there will be brutes in multiplayer. overall just think of it as a map pack on a disk except Campian instead of multiplayer. the way bungie is treating this is nothing is going to change except for a whole new set of campain with a new playstyle on a disk from which you can still play normal halo 3 everything else on. Im not sure about if u can play normal halo 3 campain while using recon but i douht it. so H3:Recon = copy of halo 3 disk except replacement of H3 campian with H3:Recon Campain, with stealthy weapons and vehicles, better odds for u, you are apparently a sorvivour of a drop gone wrong( the SI's veiw said something about a EMP so that's what that blue explosion was) SI is helping you with his signs, youprobably go find other survivours and generally get nice headshots with your buddies inside air ventilation shaft openings(or something like that) and the Mythic map packs are put with your heroic and legendary packs on your XBox 360 so u can play them while on normal Halo 3 Although if thats is true then u could probably borrow a copy of recon from your friend or rent it and download the maps from that disk just like ppl did with the Halo 2 map pack(or was it halo1?) Although Bungie probably fixed that already.(mabye it could recognise which XBox it was in and only download it to the first on it was put into)
As for anything else READ THE MAIN POST AND UNDERSTAND IT BEFORE YOU ASK QUESTIONS THAT BUNGIE HAS ALREADY EXPlAINED or look at other fan post because they explain a lot too (like this one and my other post )

Holy -Blam- I wrote a lot, AGAIN!

  • 10.11.2008 8:21 PM PDT

I miss Halo. Maybe Halo 4 will change that.

Edit: Lol nope

No Pics, I need eye candy dang it!

Blame Achronos for blaming Stosh!

Love Bungie...

Sighs...Thats all I can say.

Can't wait to see more stuff. Maybe Jan? Actual Gameplay?

Just answer one question for me though: All the previews around the net state that This Dude is alone in the adventure but what about those 16 pods that were diverting from the rest of the gang that the SI was tracking. Also, What about 4 player Co-Op? If the dude is alone...then are we going back to character clones?

Also...Is this dude Dare?

truthfully i'm confused, maybe it was because i was listening to freestyle old skool rap while reading (lol) but is recon an entire new *DISK* or downloadable? good update though, probably the most clear one in ages (to retards like me) lol.

  • 10.11.2008 9:56 PM PDT

Don't know if it's been said or not, but...

Soon people will no longer be able to say something.

Soon we all can has recon. Halo 3: Recon.

Seriously though, looking forward to this. I wonder if there will be health instead of shields. That will make it quite interesting. Then need to be much more careful, and need to hunt down medkits. Oh well, no matter. I'll play it anyhow, because it will be good.

so bungie is saying the mythic map pack is gonna come out in early winter they lied to us those *bleep*


If you'd actually read the post, you would already know that they said Mythic is oming out this winter. It will be re-released alongside H3R for those who haven't already downloaded it.

I'm still not sure how this is going to work though... If the mythic map pack will have both a disk and a downloadable version, how will this affect matchmaking? Will half the players in the game be playing off the H3R disk while thers play the version integraded into their HDD? if so I can already predetermine possible problems. Hopefully they just make the mythic map pack included with H3R like they did the "Multiplayer map pack" for Halo 2, that way the new content will be on the HDD regardless of how you purchase it.

  • 10.11.2008 11:57 PM PDT

you know with all the map packs coming out and stuff is there gunna ever be a wepon pack cos yeah the wepons are great but we need more ways to kill people :D
