Check out the group, Planet Reach and talk about Bungie's next game without the annoyance of the public forum. Oh and it's nice there too.

You thought you had lag, it took Jesus 3 days to re-spawn.

Easy answer; ODST. Since, you know, that's who we play as.

Would you dance for it?

'Recon' made the inside of my head hurt....

Plus it made little practical sense.

*First mission in Halo: Recon*

"Alright marine, go to the Covie camp, and.... SPY on them with your new VISR head set. Then report back on what you have seen."

Since the title doesn't affect the game....well it really doesn't matter to me what it is

ODST, the game is about ODST soldiers...not Recon Soldiers

Plus Halo:3 ODST rhymes =)

Yeah, Recon was a dumb name, plus, it made all of the R3C0n n0ObS think they were going to get recon armor if they bought it. It took a while for Bungie to silence those rumors.

The name's Ian, Game Designer at Whisper Game Studios, very off-and-on Bungie.net visitor and avid Bungie fan overall. Message me if you wish.

I understand why Bungie changed the name and I stand by their choice. ODST actually now that I think about it because Recon gives a feeling of multiplayer, not campaign. Not just because of the armor but for some reason it just kinda rings a bell in my head that it's focusing more toward multiplayer and not campaign.

I used to prefer Recon but now ODST's grown on me.

Personally, I think an actual "skilled" person in Halo 3 is someone who knows how to win with every weapon and combo in the game, not just a single weapon like the BR, Sniper, or even the AR. Of course, that excludes me, as I have yet to get a kill with dual plasma pistols. :D

I prefer Recon. "Halo 3: ODST" has always just sounded sort of childish to me because of how it rhymes.

Recon made no sense, ODST is much better.

  • 07.08.2009 11:23 PM PDT

Go Rams and Missouri!

A poll 6 months ago have been mostly Recon. Odd to see how everything changes once they get used to the name.

  • 07.08.2009 11:59 PM PDT

The Razor.

For the honour of the Mirratord.

ODST is a better name, because it fits the game better. Recon sounded cooler though.

ODST sounds a lot more catchier and cooler then Recon so im glad they changed it

  • 07.09.2009 2:51 AM PDT

Well ODST since that's what you play as.

  • 07.09.2009 5:52 AM PDT

I like ODST better though I'm not quite sure why it just sounds cooler then just plain recon to me.

Recon sounds better than Oh De Ess Tee. Although probably isn't an accurate description of what you'd be doing.

I agree, I used to like Recon, but ODST has grown on me.. it makes more sense, too.
