Well right now I can’t say it’s been confirmed, but based on the fact that box art has been released for Halo 3: Recon, I think the game may not be a downloadable expansion at all for the popular FPS. Is it going to be a stand alone title, or is this just being released for those who don’t have access to the internet? I guess we’ll just have to keep listening for more details.

The big f!@#ing atom bomb news was dropped today that Microsoft made millions of Halo addicts take a collective s!@# announced a new title in the Halo franchise, Halo 3 Recon, during their TGS 2008 press conference. The only details that were provided is that the title will be a prequel to Halo 3 and the player will be in the perspective of an ODST recon soldier. No other details have been announced other than that will be coming out in Fall 2009.

So the big announcement over at Bungie was THIS TRAILER.   Lots of speculation about the ODST (Oribital Drop Shock Troopers) being in a Halo 3 expansion was rumored and now it may have been confirmed.  Not much else to say.  The trailer was released at 7:07am pst which shows just how much Bungie loves the number 7.  The trailers been released, so make sure you check it out!

So I noticed that Bungie.net has their counter up on the site again, this time counting down to 9am central time.  Rumors have said that it could be new maps, or a full blown extention of the campaign!  We already got 30, yes THIRTY new achievements yesterday, some of which contained information about some mysterious mythic maps.  Anyway, who knows.  There’s a lot of speculation about what it could be and tomorrow were all going to know.  I hope I dont get too excited and pass out. :)
