You guys think this sounds better? I think it's boring, bland, and just yucky.

It would be like calling Halo 2 Halo: Master Chief.


That's pointless because in halo 2 you're not just master chief, you're also a new character that is introduced, the Arbiter. This also ushers the new ara of brutes, and elite character module for multiplayer game play.

Maybe if they did ever think of making a game entitled: Master Chief, it would be a game about his past before halo: CE and what happened after halo 3.

This is only my opinion though.

Nice update it does sound allot better though because i think a year later when people forget about halo 3: RECON and t comes out and the trailers show "recon" and "halo 3" in the title they would think:
LOLZ I CAN HAZ RECON NOWZ!!!!
They buy the disk, and are dissapointed that they don't get recon!
So my point again is, NICE UPDATE ODST SOUNDS ALLOT BETER!

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!

Not really considering you have to unlock the armor permutation.

I like recon better.

Who's gonna' want to buy a game named after the person you play as. You might as well have just named the whole Halo Trilogy Master Chief 1, Master Cheif and Arby 2, Master Cheif, Arby and Spark 3. Now it's Halo 3: ODST. Why ODST? Recon is much better cause' you're on a RECON patrol. Now you might as well start with a SPNKr. Just saying, Recon is much better. All those kiss-ups saying "Love it, so muuuuch better" are either lying through their teeth, or they just don't have a good taste of names. Those people should go off naming their kids Orange and Juice. NO GOOD TASTE IN NAMES (for the people who like Halo 3: ODST) Please change it back to H3:Recon. Pretty Please.


This is only my opinion. Think what you may, say what you want.

I like recon better...but I guess every person would be like..." look who got fake recon on halo fake-con"

  • 11.25.2008 7:24 PM PDT

bungie, you do know that recon was a better name right?


guess not. i hope eveyone in the studio isnt letting microsoft push you around like they did with the last two titles. recon had a lot more gravity with the fanbase at large... everyone is expecting a great game nonetheless, dont forget that!

I totally 100% agree with you. Halo 3 Recon sounds much better. adding the "ODST" at the end makes it seem like you're reading a paper for some school class that you dont care about. I cant even begin to tell you how angry I am about the name change. I think that there should be a bungie community vote on whether we should change the name or keep it the way it was. does anybody agree with me? lets make this happen.

Awesome, but why the name change?

"Brick, where'd you get a hand grenade?"
"...I don't know."

I kind of liked Halo 3: Recon more...

It's slightly less annoying to say "Halo 3 Recon" than it is to say "Halo 3 Oh Dee Ess Tee" >_>

I'm sorry but ODST is just redundant and lame. Its like they changed the name to help the idiots out there who couldnt figure out that you play as an ODST from the trailer and pictures, not to mention articles out there. that specifically state it....

  • 11.25.2008 8:29 PM PDT

Has anyone else noticed how it's going to be harder to refer to Halo 3: ODST now? Before, everyone referred to it as "Recon," but now you're supposed to refer to it as "ODST." Doesn't roll off the tongue as well.

Haha, it rhymes. That's funny.

And just who is the ODST? A name please. Could it be Faison?

The new name is, well, lame. Recon was a much better name. I'm sure the game will be great no matter the name, but Recon was way cooler and much more original than "ODST." The new name has no personality. What were you thinking Bungie?

  • 11.25.2008 11:37 PM PDT

If there's one thing I have learned in working with you, it's that there is always margin for error.

I think they should take out the 3, so it is just: Halo: ODST or something like that. I think the main reason that people find this name change a little strange is the fact that the new name is the concatenation of a word and an acronym, unlike Halo 3 Recon which was not.
