Writer's Note: Halo 3: Recon

If you’ve been on Bungie’s website recently, you’ll know about H3: Recon or at least seen the link. Bungie have admitted that this is the game that was pulled at the last minute at E3 this year but aren’t giving much else away. One bit of released information is a cryptic trailer showing the devastated New Mombasa from Halo 2 after the battle involving the Master Chief.



Recon has not been treated as a sequel to Halo 3 by Bungie, rather an expansion. The main protagonist is an ODST (Orbital Drop Shock Trooper) soldier, “Madison” who is deployed in New Mombasa as the Covenant take over the city.

As the character has neither the durability nor power of the Master Chief, the player will have to be more tactical in their playing style than in previous Halo games and could possibly lead to a minor stealth system being put in use.


Obviously, Halo 3: Recon will be a Xbox 360 exclusive and is due for release in Autumn of 2009. The link to the trailer is here
