    "ALL NEW CAMPAIGN
    and MULTIPLAYER MAPS"

    The fact that it just lists multiplayer maps rather than new multiplayer has me thinking my earlier post is wrong, and this will be pretty much just a map pack for multiplayer, and not a redesigned multiplayer for H3.

    Its still a year away, but I'm satisfied for now; they aren't dropping the current H3 for this, and we probably won't be stuck as ODST in matchmaking.

    The campaign should be awesome regardless of multiplayer though.

    I actually think it would be a unique change to be the ODST in matchmaking, it would change how the game works, and in my opinion, would make things a lot more interesting.

    well when you think about it, the game will take on a COD4 type of multiplayer system. Without the SPARTAN II armor, you have no shields. So being shot will mean a quicker death. this plus if stealth could be nicely implemented into the MP, would make for a sick, Hide-or-be killed type of playing style where you need to stick to the shadows and wait harness the element of surprise. Idk but thatd be cool and, whether or not the stealthiness is in it, MP will be harder without shields. Like COD4

    It could but if you think about it, The humans have yet to discover stealth technology like the Covenant has. But in Matchmaking? They'd have to shut down Xbox LIVE for Halo 3 to update it. And They'd be better off to make a game type with stealth.

    I never said it has to be invisibility, that wouldnt make sense, but like, more dark maps with more hiding areas and stuff so it makes it harder to just wander through maps without being ambushed.

    Halo 3: Recon

    I always wonder what the "Halo Story" would be like in a Marine/ODST's view. I think it would be sweet to be as the ODST hero, hey... maybe fight side by side with the Chief? Still looks like after the space jump from Halo 2's one mission. but hell a most likely within the year we'll find out more, I mean hell, it took only 2 weeks to continue the Original Halo 3: Recon Trailer.

    Does that mean we have to wait another year for the Mythic Maps?

    Or does that mean a whole new map pack?

    Next year lol. Unless it's already 2009 lol. I'm also wondering if we will be able to play all the maps on halo 3: recon. That would definitely make machinimas a lot better cuz then everyone won't be spartans lol. I'm guessing you won't be able to mix and match character models though.

    I just watched it (because of school) And dear God, thank you.
    The Brutes and is that a silencer on an SMG? Looks like we have a mix of CoD4 and Halo combined. Which is like sex and more sex in my oppinion. But......NEXT YEAR!
    NNNNNNNOOOOOOO!!!!!!

    Any ideas on how they're going to do the health system now? Maybe like Gears of War or something like that is what I think.

    Also, the whole silenced SMG is pretty cool. At least we know that there will be new weapons. Hearing about the new forgeing stuff makes me happy too. I'm not sure if they're add-ons, expanded item limit, new abilities, or what. Lastly, I hope multiplayer is just a good as it is now, but will no lag or glitches.

    I wonder if the Elites will even be involved with this game. They were almost completely neglected in Halo3. I hope they don't get treated like crap again.

    Why would there be Elites on Earth AFTER the events on New Mombasa?

    Since this takes place during the events of Halo 2 leading up to H3, the elites will likely be seen as enemies again. With the stealth aspect, it just won't be the same as before with regenerating shields etc. And of course, the schism will probably be seen again but from another perspective.

    Bungie talks about Recon.

    Some stuff I picked out:
    Still running H3 engine
    Mythic Maps early 2009
    NOT squad based
    NOT splinter cell
    More like an expansion than a new game
    You are not a supersoldier, you're fragile
    Campaign is standalone, multiplayer remains Halo 3
    There are weapons!
    1000 gamerscore in achievements.
    Recon multiplayer will play with H3 multiplayer
    Superintendent plays a guide-like role, but not Cortana of Recon
    Don't expect character cameos


    Listen, discuss.
