Note: this game was renamed Halo 3: ODST shortly after this announcement was made.
The Brilliant Boys of the Bungie Brigade have finally announced the title of its new Halo adventure: Halo 3 Recon.
This was announced at the Tokyo Game Show on October 9, 2008 and the reveal included a release date of "Fall, 2009".. so a year away...
X Box Live explains that 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." So basically it’s a prequel!
My pick is the the Master Chief will possibly turn up at the end of the game…UPDATE: WRONG!
The game is played from the point of view of a special forces Orbital Drop Shock Trooper. These guys have turned up in the Halo series from time to time.
ODSTs are known in the Halo universe as the fiercest UNSC soldiers. While not as large or supernaturally gifted as Spartan’s like the Master Chief, these "Hell Jumpers" more than compensate with their ferocious attitudes and unwavering nerve.
This is Bungie’s Halo 3: Recon Site. Note the "whvidldshbyjsdo" Mr Wu suggests it’s an acronym to be solved. I’m picking it’s something to do with the ODST’s name (and not an anagram as I originally thought).
Halo 3: Recon will also have a multiplayer function with maps and forge. There will also be Campaign Scoring, and four-player co-op. So it looks like Bungie is prepared to cannibalise from Halo 3’s own successful matching making platform. It will be an intriguing match up.
Here's Bungie's trailer for Halo 3: Recon
Update: Has anyone solved the "whvidldshbyjsdo" anacronym yet?
I got an idea...
"Who has vested interests destroying little dogs shedding haubusa helmets by jelly sandwhiches dangerously outside?"

Thanks for the heads up, Jimmy Jangles. A prequel sounds pretty awesome... and the trailer looks cool too. It's a shame we have to wait another year though.
By the way, have you ever heard of 6 Hour Power? You might have seen the commercial on G4 before. It's an energy shot that provides long lasting energy without the crash. It makes for a great pick me up, especially when gaming, since it helps enhance concentration. It comes in 5 different flavors too. Check them out at www.6hrpower.com
By the way, I hope I'm not overstepping my bounds by commenting on your blog. I work with 6HP so if you have any questions about the drink just let me know. I'd love to hear what you think of our energy shot!
