Sunday Comics: Dead Island In a new interview with GamePro, Halo 3: ODST writer and creative director Joseph Staten talks plot, gameplay and design choices for the upcoming Halo 3 expansion.
Halo 3: ODST has flashbacks. That, we knew. You’re a rookie ODST troop, tasked with tracking down some lost squadmates.
Bungie, masters of titillation and chicken baiting, are at it again. This time letting their many fervent fans know that Halo 3: Recon is getting a new name, but spilling little else.
As of today, they say, Halo 3: Recon will now be known as Halo 3: ODST. I suppose that’s because Odie Estie rolls off the tongue much easier than Reee-KHAN! It’s also because the ODST, an acronym for Oribtal Drop Shock Trooper, is the central character of the upcoming title.
Someone’s already got their hands on the Halo 3: Recon-themed December issue of Game Informer. Spilled the beans. Those beans tell us that, as you could probably have guessed when you first heard it spoken of as an “expansion”, Halo 3: Recon is only 3-5 hours long. Which is pretty damn short. Luckily, then, it’ll have a pretty damn short price tag, Bungie’s Joe Staten saying “we do not view this as a $US60 title”. Hopefully he means $US30, and not $US59.99. Also mentioned is the fact the expansion will allow users to unlock the previously unlockable Recon armour, provided you’ve completed the Vidmaster Challenge achievements.
Confused about Halo 3: Recon? Apparently some folks still are, so Bungie reps Luke Smith and Brian Jarrard wanted to get a few things out of the way, right off the bat, in our lovely afternoon Q&A session. Halo 3: Recon is not a tactical squad based shooter. Halo 3: Recon is not Splinter Cell: Halo. Halo 3: Recon is not Brothers In Arms: Halo. And there’s a very, very good chance you’ll never, ever run into Master Chief.
There’s your man. New hero, new campaign and all that. Oh, and no, as you can see by the fact this is box art, this won’t be made available as a downloadable pack. Click through for a bigger version.
Here you go! The trailer to Bungie’s Halo 3: Recon, the singleplayer Halo 3 expansion/prequel. You’re a UNSC Recon Marine. There are bad aliens around. It’s raining. Enjoy.
