Do it....for the Chief

Because the mission is a reconasence mission but we didn't understand we as in the world we chood bungie out cause the rookie wasn't wearing recon armour.

Halo games are a mixture of Awesomesauce with some Coca-Cool on the side.

Say what to who now?

Then why call him God?"

What?

Loose talk is noose talk.

I think they changed to ODST because it was a more marketable name.

Dog carcass in alley this morning, tire tread on burst stomach. This city is afraid of me. I have seen it's true face. The streets are extended gutters and the gutters are full of blood and when the drains finally scab over, all the vermin will drown. The accumulated filth of all their sex and murder will foam up about their waists and all the whores and politicians will look up and shout "Save us!"...

...and I'll look down, and whisper "no."

ODST the expantion was originally named after the type of missions you will be going on... now that i say it it sounds sort... NEVER mind bottom line bungie named it RECON we didn't understand so we chewd them out Saying stuff like "WHY IS IT RECON IF THE MAINE CHARACTER ISNT WEARING RECON"

Step into the Light!

Yeah changing to ODST was for the best. Not only because the armor confusion, but Halo Recon and then Halo Reach sound pretty similar and could be confusing to consumers........or at least my mom :}

ODST is straight to the point showing what the game is centered on. If it were still Recon, people would be like: Wh3r3 iz the ch3if and wh3r3z RecOnZ?

I thought the ODSTs were assigned the mission to take out a covenant carrier. That's no recon mission.

True. Now that I think about it having the -blam!- beat out of you with a pool ball in a tube sock by your degenerate pimp is the better choice.

Yeah - they were dropping ONTO the ship when it jumped to warp and wiped out half the city.

I'm sure people can deduce that Recon is derived from the word
[Grammar Nazi]Reconnaissance[/Grammar Nazi] as long as their brains are actually cultured in the English language beyond that of an average eight year-old. I don't think that's why they changed the name, though. I think they changed the name because the game had to do with ODSTs.

As a great man has said before "..." That is where the truth lies my friends

I could see it if your initial mission was to sleuth around NM, but it's not, hence the change, end of story.

Well in case you remember the concept art from super early on, they were all recon-helmet type guys. Recon was probably a product of the game's story changing during development while the name was given early on.

SAS Halo 3

I think they changed it becuz Halo:Recon sounds like Tom Clancy Recon.... or something like that. And they didnt want to Start a Company Fight or anything.... Thats what I think
