this sucks i thought halo 3: recon was a pretty baller name

My guess as to the real reason of the change is that most players have put the Recon armor on a pedestal, and they don't want any free associating of that armor perm with this as yet unreleased game. Why? This game is going to be hated loudly by the general bungie community. Mark my words.
They are fickle.
They hated Halo 3.
They will assuredly hate this.
It makes me sad though. I love Halo. Every iteration thus far has been awesome. But there are haters out there that suck the fun out of everything. I can see the threads now.
You have been warned.

Halo 3: Recon sounded a lot better.
halo 3: ODST doesit flow as well, and really, sounds retarded.
WHY DID THEY CHANGE IT

(btw Halo 2: Master Chief? lmao, makes sense. sounds -blam!- dumb doesnt it? exactly.)

The Risk Is Worth The Reward.
Cry Havoc And Let Slip The Dogs Of War.

I like this change, the name fits the game 100% better now.

Question: Is there a remote possibility of adding ODST's to the multiplayer character line up? (obviously with an enhanced suit to compete with the elites and spartans) There has to be more people than just me looking for an addition like this, am i right?

OMG!!! To me Recon is a dirty word, so I'm happy, happy, happy there's been a change at all!!

Why not call it Halo 3: Zebra according to a cryptic reference made in the Bungie Weekly Update: 10/31/08, and because Z = last letter of the alphabet = Bungie's last Halo project?

...... A rose by any other name, smells just as sweet!! C=


Oh!! and.......

Halo 3 recon sounds much better than Halo 3 ODST i think u should change it back a

  • 11.29.2008 5:34 AM PDT

well the game is now Halo 3: ODST..... well it's an ok name, i mean, i doesn't roll off the tongue like Recon but it's ok, im sure it's gonna be a great game/expansion. lol the only way i feel stupid is that i was pronouncing ODST like ODD-EST, lol. And the fact that we all have a chance to get recon.... Lame!!!! If we all get it then it wil be stupid and lame, like the Katana, every one has it.... well.... Keep It Clean!!!

  • 11.29.2008 5:43 AM PDT

Your demise is unavoidible!

Why change it AFTER you get the game on the cover of Game Informer?

i dont understand how everyone is praising bungie for this name change.

it sounds horrid.

recon had such a better ring to it.

  • 11.29.2008 5:01 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.

I definatly like ODST better, Sounds more official. xD

Even though ODST's are the coolest thing ever, some things are better left unsaid. That is going to be so annoying in everyday conversation. I'm probably just going to really call it ohdst. But you know what? I'm going to just go in a whole different direction. Since everyone that likes the new title is because it's more relevant, and since the game is about finding out what happened after it happened, I think we should all just call it Halo 3: CSI. I mean, that's way more relevant.

This gaming generation is all about stupid name changes anyways. Xbox 360 instead of Xenon or Xbox Next, or even worse, they called it a Wii after it was Nintendo Revolution. Seriously, gaming names are just going, disappointingly, down hill.

  • 11.29.2008 6:46 PM PDT

Shut the hell up and keep talking

Maybe they should just call it Halo 3: Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon

Or something with recon in it

exactly man! they need to make up their mind. and now they look stupid cause its in a mag. a whole section on it LoL!

When life gives you lemons, you realize that life has a cruel sense of humor.

I don't know if it's just me, but 'Recon' rolls of the tongue a little easier than 'ODST'. Plus, it might be a little easier to say "Hey guys, want to play some Recon?" instead of "Hey guys, want to play some Halo 3: ODST?"

But that's just me.

I like that idea. I'd play as an ODST. Get killed just as quick and look cool doing it!

I am absolutely enraged by this motion.


Yeah, Recon sounded much more intense and cool... ODST-bleh, it's not like they called it "Halo 3-Master Chief" It just makes it sound like they'll release a game for every type of character from the games... What's next: "Halo 3-GRUNTS"....Actually that would be pretty cool ^-^
