You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

Halo 3: Helljumper is badass.

Agreed. That title does have a ring to it.

Of course so does Halo 3: Chupathingie

I dig it.

Having read the comments in this thread, I think you should call it Halo 3: STFU.

more syllables... it doesn't roll off the tongue like recon does.

When a cat is dropped, it always lands on its feet, and when toast is dropped, it always lands buttered side down. Therefore, if a slice of toast is strapped to a cat's back, buttered side up, and the animal is then dropped, the two opposing forces will cause it to hover, spinning inches above the ground. If enough toast-laden felines were used, they could form the basis of a high-speed monorail system.

I woulda liked Halo 3: Helljumper. But that's just a random thought.

I think that the change is fine, but I do agree that Recon was better.

omg ODST wtf

OMG hes wearing full ODST armor!!!

  • 11.25.2008 11:17 AM PDT

i like recon better...and is there no way to make the "ODST" in the wallpaper pic the same font style as "recon" was? I think it looks kind of dumb all white and glowy like that. It was better muted, kind of like it was stealthy, like an ODST...

  • 11.25.2008 11:18 AM PDT

recon is 2 syllables and ODST is 4. but in the end its all the same. also they put out the new wallpaper that has no words on it 4 u guys that r complaining bout that

Hmm, I like it.

My Game Informer Magazine just got an increase in value =)

  • 11.25.2008 11:22 AM PDT

So why a game title name change after the Halo Community has come to know the new Campaign experience as Halo 3: Recon?

I blame stosh.


Proud tester of the Halo 3 beta.

Why did you change it? I love the new name however! ODSTs rule!

  • 11.25.2008 11:31 AM PDT

if knowledge is power and power corrupts, isn't knowledge therefore dangerous?
Black Tower

yay!
and the SI icon changes for this story, too :D

  • 11.25.2008 11:42 AM PDT

i gotta say i'm pretty disapointed with the name change. is there some legal reason for the change? i feel like this name dosn't generate the same level of anticipation that recon did. imagine seeing the trailer for the first time and the title card read HALO3: ODST, i just dont think it would've made my mind explode in the same way. maybe its just me.

not that it really matters. they could call it "HALO: Random New Project From Bungie" and we would all still go out and buy it.

Why? Was Recon misleading? Interesting.

Why the sudden name change? Should have done this before the release of the new GameInformer

  • 11.25.2008 12:00 PM PDT

A good change, even though Recon was more a homage to the community.

Giving everyone Recon is still a horrible idea. We don't need another Hyabusa!

  • 11.25.2008 12:00 PM PDT

mehh, not that exciting, recon sounds for bad ass

The Sentinel Beam isn't excluded from Matchmaking due to any performance concerns. It's excluded because it's ridiculous. It may as well be firing super-accelerated clowns. - Shishka

Please let us know which maps will be released "early next year" asap. I still fear that there a bunch of maps ready and they are held back by marketing/microsoft.

Can I just go out of my way and be a sinic? Why does changing 5 letters to 4 make that big of a difference? From a LOT of ressearch i've conducted and experimented with in Halo 2 and some in Halo 3 aswell(Tho I HAVE gotten lazy.. but am still ressearching) I think you guys should read between the lines... Theres alot they just told you guys but cause of 9 letters your we have 3 pages of people saying..

YAY!
NOOOOO!!

YAY!!!!

NOOOO!!!!

WHY must you do this to me.. After all we've been through!


If you guy are true "hard core" halo fans a simple name change due to most likely legal aspects(tho there could be a little something here too to look into.. but not enough info to make it worth while yet). So basicaly stop worrying about 9 letters and worry about how your all going to have to make a MASSIVE post about how bungie ruined the game with the latest update, or how you will now have to refine all your long discovered tactics!


Just my two cen.. well.. maybe a bit more then just my two cen7s... And for my first post ever on Bungie forrums I can't wait for all the negative feeback:D

(P.S Can someone tell me what the Heroic Member and all that sutff is? I assume its the persons post and how active they are... And that bungie officials have there own special tags that are 10x better that we all envie..)

Note: A witty signature can be placed on the bottom of all your forum posts.

You Wrote, "You can still has recon." However I think it should be written, "You still can has recon." Just sayin.
