When Halo 3: ODST was first announced, it was called Halo 3: Recon. Now it is called what it is today. Are you happy with the name change?

Personally, I like the change because the game focuses on you being an ODST. Recon would still have been cool, though.

I am happy with Halo 3: ODST.

Halo 3: Recon probably made people think that you would play as a Recon Spartan.

ODST helps people know you play as an ODST.

Spartans are from Venus and Elites are from Uranus

Pretty old news to dredge up. Regardless, ODST is a name that makes more sense. Recon sounds better but it can be some what deceptive of the game's true nature.

I did use the search bar. The only threads I saw were ones of people asking for Recon armor.

I love you stosh.

Recon is quicker to say.

Haha, that's true. Some people probably don't even know what ODST stands for.

I'm sure most of us know what it means. But the general public, the less enthusiastic players probably wont have a clue until theyp lay the game.

Recon because the game is kinda like a recon mission because you are finding clues and reporting them to figure it out (i know its confusing)

Halo 3: Recon would've been more catchy, however ODST suits the story more.

But theres a Halo comic book series called Halo: Helljumpers... It's best to Just call it ODST.

We hardly see the comic books over here, we didn't see the Halo Uprising ones, so it'll be safe to call it Helljumper here.

ODST's are cool, and naming it Recon after the armor isn't accurate because the game is centered around ODST's.
