The December 2008 issue of Game Informer has a cover story on Halo 3: Recon - and it's a doozy. It doesn't contain any new screenshots, but there's quite a bit of concept art, and there's a lot of description of how the game is going to work. There are some very interesting tidbits included:</p>
- Paul Bertone describes the scope of H3:R as "a three to five-hour expansion pack"
- Recon Armor will be earnable for all - complete the Vidmaster Challenge series of achievements and it's yours
- Bungie's Joe Staten says "we do not view this as a $60 title"The cover art is spectacular, and has been whipped up by Bungie newcomer Jaime Jones (google him - I found this gallery of pretty amazing stuff)
The game sounds to be a lot of fun to play - you'll need to read the article for details. If you're a subscriber, you should be seeing it today - or very soon. If you're looking for it on the newsstand, you might have to wait a week or two. I'm droolin'...(Louis Wu 23:08:11 UTC)
