Halo 3: Recon

Oct. 9 11:20 PM by Dylan Duarte

It's the announcement we've all been waiting for. Hit the jump for details.

Halo 3: Recon was the project that Bungie wanted to announce at E3 before Microsoft put their foot down and squashed it. It's a standalone FPS Halo expansion that will be available in stores next Fall. It takes place between Halo 2 and Halo 3, where you'll fill the shoes of an ODST trooper that drops into Covenant-occupied New Mombasa.

While it uses the Halo 3 engine, you'll have to play it differently than the other Halo games. Brian Jerrard was quoted as saying "As an ODST, compared to playing as in invulnerable Spartan, you are going to have to sort of pick and choose your encounters a little bit differently."

Halo 3: Recon is intended to wrap up the Halo trilogy once and for all.

So what do you guys think? I know some of you must be disappointed that you won't be playing as the Chief, but I for one am excited about that. I enjoy Master Chief as a character, but I'm interested to see other parts of the Halo universe, through the eyes of someone who isn't the Chief.
