He said to use Tucker's imagination, but I didn't have his, I only had mine. So I used my imagination to pretend like I had Tucker's, and look what I came up with!

The name makes more sense, but it doesn't quite carry the exciting weight of Recon.
I still think it's a smart move by Bungie/Microsoft.

Glory to Jesus Christ

Too. Many. Syllables!

In all seriousness, I don't think that this will stick as the finalized name, but I do like it more than Halo 3: Recon. Like I said, they'll probably end up changing it again.

  • 11.25.2008 2:09 PM PDT

Personally I do not like the name change at all. It's way too literal. It's like if you guys had of named Halo just plain Master Chief. It just doesn't sound good to me.

Any who, regardless of the name I'm still preordering this day one.

That...probably means that Laserking has either an insanely accurate logical method of deriving people's reactions to things, or he possesses pre-cognition. Either way:LASERKING for Mods!

sounds ok
but i think anyone here would buy it anyway even if it said Halo : the worst game ever made

Maybe it will grown on me, but I still would rather see Halo 3: (The) Helljumpers than Halo 3: ODST. Oh well, though I bet Game Informer is like DOH!


I kinda like that

Halo 3: Helljumper

its catchy

Halo 3: Recon has a better flow. I think it Recon sounds better.

5. Quitting: Only in moderation
There are plenty of totally valid reasons to quit. For example, if you're on fire. Or, if your mother is on fire. Or, even if your dog is setting your mother on fire. However, these things come with statutes of limitations. For quitting, if you do it so often that we recognize it as bad behavior, you're risking the wrath of the Banhammer. - Shishka

Call me Rdog, not RdOG or RdOG1507. I made that username when I thought it was cool to use alternating capital and lowercase letters...

Good idea.

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.

Interesting... I guess it makes more sense than the old title.

Interesting. Why the change?

somewhere in the heavens...they are waiting. I love the Marathon Trilogy.
Halo CE will always be the best game in the Halo franchise. What a perfect game.

Although Recon sounded much cooler, ODST just makes sense.

  • 11.25.2008 3:29 PM PDT

Name change? Well, that's pointless!

Seriously...the new name makes more sense in a way, but it's not really better seeing as it's too later to change the name. Couldn't you have just thought this over harder before you named it something TOTALLY RANDOM (other than that you can get "Recon" from it)?

If you absolutely have to change the subtitle...Prepare to Drop, or Shock Troopers, or something that sounds better and doesn't make everything so obvious. Imagine actually using your mouth to say that to your friends: "Hay-low Three Oh-Dee-Ess-Tee", or "Hay-low Three Expansion Pack" or something. Recon is much easier to identify and actually pronounce. Some one else even recommended Helljumper, and that's the best I've heard.

BUNGIE FAIL. (I didn't even know it was possible for Bungie to fail!)

As of today, the game formerly known as Halo 3 : Recon will henceforth be known as Halo 3 : ODST.

UGH... I think it sounds lame, I liked Recon, had somewhat a double meaning to it... Change it again please... if not, I'll have to revert to calling it Ohdst, lol.

Shame the "I can has recon" jokes will end :P

I think it sounds better now though :D


It still sucks that everyone CAN and WILL "has reconz" though...
It'll be like hyabusa, it's cool when only a few people have it, but once everyone gets it, and its not something to show off, the majority will hate it. Shame, really.

I really thought the name Recon was both catchy and fitting... first off, it's obviously popular throughout the Halo series, and second, H3 ODST looks like a stealth game, let alone the title 'Reconnaisance'

Hmm, I wonder what the reason behind the name change is. I mean you get all this stuff out on the internet and media with the name Halo 3: Recon, and then you have to turn around and change it all. Must be some good reason.

"ohdst"

  • 11.25.2008 3:58 PM PDT

This is an HORRIBLE name change. Halo 3: Recon is the MUCH better choice and fits it better.

Bungie on bad coffee or something? Bleh....

One thing's for sure though: this is a name change, and not a "we're revealing the actual name now".

Question is: why? Legal matters?

If you're here then that means you're either trying to find my fileshare or trying to see what my rank is to make fun of me for being a low rank

Mock me all you want, Halo isn't my life and that shows in my record

Keep in mind you're the one making fun of me for a fictional rank in a video game than has no meaning

Recon is what the game is about, right? (NOT THE ARMOR, THE ACTUAL RECON PART)

Aw, Helljumpers would have been great!

I am not going to kiss up to you Bungie. I'm going to be as fair as possible.

In my opinion, ODST is a fine title. It reflects the content of the game ....apparently.

We just got too used to "recon"..so some are kinda bitter about it.
