Having recon as a name though would be misleading. Then all the 10 year olds would be like "W3 get to pl4y chi3f but he h4s r3conz this timez!!1!!1"


O.D.S.T. is much more clear :3

The fight has been complete.... now get the cookies!

While we certainly share your enthusiasm for the return, we here at the Bungie.net community are mostly made up of snarky asses and jerks who will ridicule you for making a thread about something revealed months ago. We regret that your innocent intentions will almost certainly be replied with anger and sarcasm, and politely invite you to don your Flame-suit, because you just did the internet equivalent of jumping up the Construct lifts.

No -blam!- dur it was supposed to be Recon we all know that and your just stating the obvious, you may leave now.

Halo 3: Recon would make it seem as though you're only getting the game for the armour. ODST tells you what it's about and is far more clear.

The game has nothing much to do with Recon besides Dare, and the vidmasters.
Making Recon the name just makes it does sound like Master Chief, and ODST is way better. :)

Just because it seems impossible
Does not mean it is not right.

I like ODST is better,
All the babies started flipping when they called it Recon.

Check out this thread if you'd like to use your custom character in Co-Op. http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=13792191

Did you know that they had the lead designer of the old school Ghost Recon and Rainbow Six games working on it? A little odd that the name changed from Recon to ODST shortly after he quit.
