I think both ODST and Recon both sound sweet. Just curious, why the name change?

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.


yeah, or Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake
...oh, wait...

i figured it was because Recon is a Spartan variant, and ODST is a different branch than the Spartans

Damn you, Microsoft! Halo 3: Recon, or Halo 3con, was such a good name. Hell, even my girlfriend thought it was catchy.

Halo 3: ODST? Screw the crappy rhyme. I shall always call it recon.

  • 11.26.2008 8:25 PM PDT

i still think recon sounds better

And that's another reason why you'll never see my name next to Scorsese, Woody Allen, and Spike Lee. Scorsese speaks a lot at NYU, and I'm damn skippy no one's ever been like, "I'll suck your dick for five bucks!" -Keven Smith, Filmmaker

Its pretty much an excuse to call Halo 2; Halo: Super Cyborg and Alien Dude

And Halo 3; Halo: The Return of Super Cyborg and Alien Dude

ewwwwwww

recon was much better

theyd be better of calling it halo 3.5 the musical

  • 11.27.2008 8:54 AM PDT

My troll sense is tingling.

I think it was changed so it doesn't sound like Ghost Recon. Ah well, I like the rhyme

  • 11.27.2008 8:54 AM PDT

Even though ODST makes more sense I still think Recon sounds a lot better and so do most of my friends. I miss the lod name :(

  • 11.27.2008 9:34 AM PDT

OH MY GOD I JUST LOOKED AT THE LOGO AND IT LOOKS -blam!- COMPARED TO RECONS.
I was going to get the wallpaper as well but i dont like the new logo, it looks tacky. :(

  • 11.27.2008 9:38 AM PDT

is it called odst because if it was called recon then people would think that you get recon armor automatically?

  • 11.27.2008 9:54 AM PDT

Halo Universe = I'm a fan.

That's too bad. I feel recon is much better suited for the title. And it flows better too. If you guys did this with all your games I would be playing Spartan and Arbiter 3, instead of Halo 3.

that sounds awesome!!! Its Catchy too

  • 11.27.2008 1:41 PM PDT

Halo 3: Recon sounds way better. Halo 3: ODST just sounds... dumb... hate me all you want, when people hear recon they think of an elite fighting force. When they hear ODST they will think WTF is that?

AHA! someone is thinking outside the box.. Now anyone else wanna think smartly in here?(sorry if that insulted anyone...) But if ya think.. there WILL be a vidmaster achievment IN halo 3: OhDST that you will probably have to unlock.. and to be more specific.. they are probably NOT going to tell you what you have to do... that is.. unless the're going to let down all the true Halo 2 fans:(.... You wouldnt do that.. would you.. bungie?

I don't like the name change at all but it's not enough to make me not want to buy it,it's just a minor annoyance really.

  • 11.27.2008 9:08 PM PDT

Spartans don't die, they simply go to hell and regroup.

I liked the "Recon" name better, to be honest. =/

I've said this before, and I will say it again. Maybe Bungie had planned to first unveil it as Halo 3: Recon to tip off it's fans that recon will be achievable at some point, and later planned to change it's name to Halo 3: ODST. Whatever their reasoning is behind changing the name, I like it, and I think it has more relevance to the game, and characters then Recon.Posted By: A Deaf Boy
Makes more sense. Using "Recon" makes it seem like a stealth game, which it isn't.
