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.


Wow. Just wow.

If you look at this stuff....go to a park or something else active

First off, Bungie may very well be working on a brand new Halo game. They said, "There are no more offshoots or side stories in the works."

That means, that the day after, they could have started making a brand new Halo game. I would love to see some new games coming from Bungie. They haven't abandoned Halo, they're simply just moving off of this BIllion-Dollar-Donut for a while. They will probably call the next game something else because H1, H2, and H3, were about the 'halos'.

Most likely, Bungie's next franchise will be much bigger. They have called H3R and the two map packs yet to come out "little new material." So...hopefully their next game will be bigger than H2.

Most likely, the vidmaster achievements, will somehow give you a bonus in H3R.

But I have one question: Will there be a demo or beta coming out for H3R? Many other games have done that, including Halo 3.

Wait a sec… 4 player co-op online only, or will it be split screen? Obviously, both is preferable. Thanks.

Also my feeling is that is not simply an M7 (although it is very similar) because i don't think Bungie would add in a real weapon. The suppressed SMG theory seems more appropriate; hmm maybe we can switch the BR to single fire.

new weapons in recon?

  • 10.12.2008 5:37 PM PDT

Will H3 Recon include the Legendary, Cold Storage & Heroic map packs as well as the Mythic map pack and if so is Halo 3 Recon pretty much like Halo 3 with a different campaign. (same match making, forge, theater ect)

  • 10.12.2008 5:55 PM PDT

No online competitive multiplayer?!! Damn i was thinking it might bind some of the great aspects of cod4 with halo 3, that wouldve been sweet.. Although i have grown to enjoy the single player experience more and more with each title and am really amped to play the game. So much graphics, looks awsome so far! kudos to the musicians etc.. great work keep it up.

I didn't really feel like reading through 16 pages of comments for a question I was going to ask, so if this was previously mentioned and I missed it my B.

Is the ODST home boy going to have a shield like the Mjolnir armor of the Master.. chief that is or are we goin to have to check those corners really, really, tough?

  • 10.12.2008 6:58 PM PDT

What's up? I'm Anthony, from Maryland. I play a lot of video games, too many. Enjoying the Halo Reach Beat right now. Also Halo was kind of my life from the age of 11-14.

Can't wait until the Mythic Map pack come's out. Halo 3 Recon is looking to be amazing.

So if he is a marine and not a super soldier do the laws of gravity apply to him? in other words will he jump around like a human and not like he is in low gravity like master cheif can?

ok halo 3 recon will it have any of the orignal maps like blood gulch or turf maybe even headlong in the mulitplayer maps cause alot people want to play them on halo 3 but if it has any of the original maps then its a def. buy to me??

  • 10.12.2008 8:12 PM PDT

So lets set this straight I betrayed you and your mad....its infection...
do you want to be a zombie ???

Xero Link

The SMG in Halo 2 was case less...but what I wanted to actually say was....

I wonder if I will be able to pre-order a legendary edition of this...and get an awesome ODST helm to match my Spartan-II helm. :D


Plus by the sounds of it we might get some exclusive multiplayer maps for the game to be added to our Halo 3 experience...it might be either that or buy em through marketplace but still I'd much rather buy the game instead.....this is probably the most excited moment since I saw the forerunner structure open up on the Halo 3 announcement trailer.

Will you be putting the music from the trailer on Itunes like you did with the Halo 3 announcement trailer?

Also, when will the fabled podcast discussing Halo 3: Recon be coming out?

So will recon work like, for example, Shivering Isles disc to Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion (Enter disc, download expansion, put in Oblivion disc to play)? Or will it be a separate disc like Kane's Wrath to Command & Conquer 3 (Two separate X box 360 titles)? I'm easily confused, so yeah, this question popped up in my mind XD

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...


Yeah its a SMG alright just looks big in the ODST's hands, they look so small on the cheif. Good to see Bungie takes gaming to extra level of realism Its why I love the Halo series so much ( every thing is to scale ) Also in the H2 demo I think I saw ODST's have shield flare can anyone confirm that or was I just seeing things anyway that design was dropped and remade?

One question, actually second question

This is the last of the Halo Trilogy ( story arc ) so will it be also the last game Bungie delivers from the Halo universe?

I certainly hope not :)

what¡¡ did you lose??

Nice update but I really hope that bungie make the game of halo 3 recon more tactical, i mean that you can get cover i any place and that the stealth would part of the game because now you are a human withouth shields so you need a more intelligent game mode

Subject: Bungie Weekly Update: 10/10/08 - Multiplayer question?

Dear bungie, I was wondering since H3:Recon is an expantion pack and in halo 3 you can play as master chief or the arbitor in multiplayer. Will this new expantion allow us to pick in our multiplayer appeherence between the chief, arbitor and this new hero as well, cause that would be too badass for words.

No? Really. Does noskills refer to your ability to spot the obvious?
