new hero, new campaign. Hits Fall 2009 and its a prologue to Halo 3, featuring a ODSC marine.

Drkirby · (10-09-2008, 03:56 AM)

Cool. Is it Free?

*Guaraná · (10-09-2008, 03:57 AM)

I believe it's a new game. So, probably not free.

ODST, not ODSC.

ODST = Orbital Drop Shock Trooper.

Bearillusion · (10-09-2008, 03:58 AM)

New hero? Meh. Hope they locked the framerate this time.

TEH-CJ · (10-09-2008, 03:58 AM)

Need screen shots and vids now.

Rewrite · (10-09-2008, 03:59 AM)

Heh. I'm not really that excited for it. I'll welcome it though.

CurseoftheGods · (10-09-2008, 04:00 AM)

Is the original game included?

omg.kittens · (10-09-2008, 04:00 AM)

Sorry, haven't been paying much attention to this before, but is Bungie developing this?

Fall 2009, a long time to wait!

Someone post when the trailer is up on Live or Bungie or something.

*edit* omg.kittens: Yes.

it's a new game.

After all the hoopla... that's it?

ScrabbleBanshee · (10-09-2008, 04:04 AM)

Halo = Stale?

DrBaalzamon · (10-09-2008, 04:05 AM)

Videos all up on bungie.net

ghst · (10-09-2008, 04:05 AM)

this reeks of contractual obligation.

Danthrax · (10-09-2008, 04:05 AM)

Multiplayer? Halo games sell 70% on multiplayer, 30% on campaign. And 100% on hype, so this game should be covered.

[edit] wait wait, I've got one: Master Chief and his Shitty Friends!

Zeliard · (10-09-2008, 04:05 AM)

This is the definition of milking a franchise.

I love this. How much does the Master Chief model add to the game?

But Microsoft definitely needs to be careful with these spin-offs. This is the number 1 cause of brand erosion.

No it's not. Thanks for making me check. The original teaser is but nothing new.

How is lack of shields going to work? Back to med-packs?

It will be the same model of some generic armored space marine, just a different name... so don't worry, Halo will remain intact. New hero's name: Commander President.

I kinda feel like it. Bungie should have simply offered a few extra campaign levels as DLC and moved on to a new project. But WTF do I know? I haven't even seen Recon yet.

Edit: Wait, there's a trailer somewhere? Link?
Edit 2: Sorry, I'm dense/blind. Looks cool, but still: I'd like to see Bungie energy focused on something new. As long as they're working on multiple (non-Halo?) projects, I have no room to complain.

CitizenCope · (10-09-2008, 04:08 AM)

At first I was meh but that trailer got me pumped.

To the delight of devoted fans across the world, at the Tokyo Game Show Microsoft debuted Halo 3: Recon, developed exclusively for Xbox 360® by acclaimed developer Bungie. This new chapter in the Halo saga lets you experience events leading up to the epic story told in Halo 3 through the eyes of a new hero in the Halo universe.

The stand-alone expansion, set to release in fall 2009, extends the award-winning Halo® 3 experience with hours of new campaign excursions and multiplayer gameplay. In addition, attendees were given an all-new glimpse of the Xbox 360 exclusive strategy game Halo Wars from Ensemble Studios. The campaign mode provided a thrilling taste of the revolutionary gameplay and new perspective of the Halo universe. Enjoy the full experience when Halo Wars hits retailers in early 2009.
Game Details

This new chapter in the Halo universe includes the following:

* All-new campaign content: The Halo 3: Recon campaign is an intriguing side story that takes place during the terrifying events leading up to the Master Chief’s return to New Mombasa in Halo 3. Experience the fate of Earth from the brand-new perspective of a special forces ODST (Orbital Drop Shock Trooper), adding a unique outlook and new gameplay elements to the events that unfold in the trilogy’s finale. 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.
* Prepare to drop: Known for their courage, valor and, at times, insanity, ODSTs are among the fiercest UNSC soldiers, priding themselves on being the first unit deployed into hostile situations. While not as large or supernaturally gifted as their Spartan comrades, these "Hell Jumpers" more than compensate with their ferocious attitudes and unwavering nerve.
* Expanded multiplayer collection:No Halo experience would be complete without groundbreaking multiplayer content, and Halo 3: Recon gives fans more of what they love. With exclusive new maps and expanded Forge options, Xbox LIVE® Gold members will find more multiplayer content than ever before with Halo 3: Recon.
* Ever-growing community options: Enjoy all the great Halo 3 technological innovations, including Saved Films, screenshots, Campaign Scoring, and four-player co-op. All of the new multiplayer maps fully support the Forge editor, offering endless gameplay customization possibilities.

I'm assuming that this will not be additional downloadable content to Halo 3, but will be a stand alone game sold on it's own for $59.99???

GAF's halo hate is funny.

PhatSaqs · (10-09-2008, 04:10 AM)

Trailer was nice. The guy had a silenced SMG and a view that was straight out of GRAW.

By the time this game comes out it will be 3 games + 1 expansion in 8 years.

rjcc · (10-09-2008, 04:11 AM)

honestly, the "Halo music" is getting kinda tired. they can quit that now.

claviertekky · (10-09-2008, 04:11 AM)

So no info on PJ's Halo project?

I guess that's never happening.
