Halo 3: Recon

343 Guilty Spark · 10-08-2008, 11:21 PM

A few weeks ago, the KEEP IT CLEAN teaser was released on Bungie.net - and then there was nothing. No comments from Bungie, no explanations... nothing. Until tonight. The Tokyo Game Show keynote kicked off at noon, October 9 - which translates to 8 PM PST October 8, or 11 PM EST October 8 (about an hour ago). The Halo material was all shown in the last 15 minutes - the first half was Halo Wars (the Flood was revealed as another enemy you'll fight in the game), and then the new Bungie trailer was unveiled. You can download it for yourself, at Bungie.net, in a variety of flavors, or in 5.1 goodness from Xbox LIVE Marketplace - but it'll tell you that the new game is called 'Halo 3: Recon', it will be available next fall (Fall 2009), and it will show you the fight from the viewpoint of an ODST Marine. There's plenty more speculation and information on our forum at the moment - jump in! Update: The Recon page in Bungie's Projects section contains an acronym - who will be the first to decipher 'WHVIDLDSHBYJSDO'? Update 2: If the trailer wasn't enough for you, check out the Xbox.com page on the product (thanks, Naburu).(Louis Wu 04:13:28 UTC)

Moved and stuck for impending discussion. Go!

My view on it...

I love you Bungie.

I just downloaded the trailer a hour ago off of XBL Marketplace, it pretty much confirms you're playing as an ODST.
P.S Anyone else notice the silenced SMG? I hope that ends up real

I hope that this is a more tactical version of Halo 3, similar to the Rainbow Six Vegas system. If you can take cover, blind fire around corners and tactically flank Brutes, I'd enjoy this game quite a bit. Fall 2009 though, long wait for an expansion <_<

Also, I think the ODST should have killed all the Brutes in the trailer!

Actually, considering what they're putting in it, its quite a short time. On xbox live, the description said something about "all new multiplayer" and if you ask me, that sounds like theyre making a different multiplayer than the other Halos. The campaign will clearly be much different, they have to make more characters, im guessing, make the ODSTs look better, specially since all they had to do in the other Halos was just touch up the characters, not create ciompletely new ones and the brutes looked oddly different to me. Looks like it will eb amazing, though!

I agree, a tactical Halo game would be cool

While the feel of this new chapter greatly resembles that of previous Halo experiences, Halo 3: Recon will require you to employ more elements of stealth and cunning than ever before.

This is from the Xbox.com page...tactical? I think yes!

But away from the news. It will probably be a lot more tactical. The way it showed the HUD, i think that was a hint, imo. Hopefully it will be, id like that...to an extent, if it were like CoD4, i will NEVER buy this game.

Do not flame Diego.

And I am glad to see that it will take place in a city environment.
