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 am excited as I really enjoyed playing Halo 3.  The times Empy, Joe, and I were killing everything in site and then listening to Empy trash talk little kids was great.

[Emperor]

I hate little kids that play games.

Awesome, I take it this is the "Keep It Clean" campaign that the video was just released for?

 

We should get a Halo3 night together, sometime soon.  You know before we all get buried in a new round of awesome shooters.  *cough cough GOW2 cough*

[Emperor]

Umm yeah.. about that...

 

I traded in my copy of Halo 3 a few months ago.  I had 990 achievement points and none of my friends were playing it... so it didn't make sense to keep it.

 

I am down for a game night though!

At the least we'll need to cross golden chainsaws when GoW comes out.  I traded away my copy of 1.  I'll be picking up Left 4 dead but a bit late.

[Hybrid]

This makes me seriously wish I had a 360.  I've played a lot of Halo 3 at school (and summarily have gotten addicted), but my parents hate gaming systems.  :(

I've been playing this game again.  I love it.  i just had other games to play but I'm done with those so I'm back to Halo.
