Because you get recon in the game. That's all I know.

1. The mission they are on is not a recon mission.

2. The story is about a squad of ODSTs.

3. It was just a working title before and our good friends at Bungie thought ODST made more sense.

Rumor has it it was because UBISOFT asked nicely seeing as they own the other RECON franchise

Go Rams and Missouri!

It was renamed because Microsoft and Bungie both agreed that Recon wasn't really a term to describe the game. While you do work in a nighttime city with the VISR mode, it's not really a stealthy game. ODST fits the game more.

Recon didn't make any sense and I don't really understand why that was the title in the first place.

Um do you have a brain? ..dude no its not because you get recon in the odst game lol..thats silly. Its because your playing as an ODST squad...so not to confuse all the little kiddies like yourself that it has MC in it or whatever else your little minds come up with.

You get Recon ONLY by completing the Vidmaster achievments.

I would have preferred Halo 3: helljumpers. It sound meaner. But, i still prefer ODST over Recon. Both armor wise and for the game's name.
EDIT: Also, ODST mean Orbital Drop Ship troopers or Orbital Drop shock trooper.

Becaus ODST stands for Orbital Direct Squadron in Transit or something. IT's just a badass acronym bungie decided to use.

*Facepalm*

I wish I was still legendary.

ODST relates to the actual game much better then Recon does, and doesn't make people think 'ZoMG I GeTz REkOnZ JUtS Bie BUyign Dis COs IT CAwlEDD REKONZ!', as at least some people would inevitably think.

Dude, be nice. I could ask Stephen Hawkins what ODST mean and he wouldnt have a f**king clue.

Seriously, you're the ass here.

True, unless he was a Halo fan. I think ODST is a great title for the game. You don't have to call the game "Halo 3:ODST." Just call it "ODST."

Well, i'd love to meet him in MM. You just gun everyone out but get owned hard by someone. He then proceed to t-bag you while expressing his enthusiasm in his robotic voice: "You got PWNT! O-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-owned". That would be grand.

My thoughts exactly.

Maybe it was just a ploy to attract more players wanting Reconz?

I for one am picking up both expansions: Recon and ODST. I really wonder why they call it ODST it must be some secret we have to uncover. I am most excited for Halo 3: Recon though because with that one you get the recon armor.


Trolls are..nvm..im not even gonna say it..you aint worth it...Dont feed the trolls guys.

But there's no sense crying over every mistake.
You just keep on trying till you run out of cake.
And the Science gets done.
And you make a neat gun.
For the people who are still alive.
