Halo 3: Recon Coming Fall 2009

[A F 1 G 3]

Microsoft has just confirmed the speculation that the teaser trailer released by Bungie a few weeks ago is in fact a storyline expansion to Halo 3. Taking place prior to the events of the Halo 3 story, Halo 3 Recon (its official title) will put gamers in the shoes of a UNSC marine trooper -- specifically an Orbital Drop Shock Trooper -- and marks the first time since players took on the role as the Arbiter to play through the Halo universe as a character other than the Master Chief.

Halo 3 Recon, the standalone expansion featuring a new hero and new campaign, hits the Xbox 360 exclusively in Fall 2009.

[Update: According to an Xbox.com News Flash, Halo 3 Recon will take place during the events leading to the return of Master Chief to New Mombasa in Halo 3. The game will feature a brand new campaign, four player co-op gameplay and new multiplayer content. Halo 3 Recon will include exclusive new multiplayer maps and Forge options as well as maintain what gamers loved from Halo 3 including Saved Films, screenshots and campaign scoring.]

I am STOKED! Anyone else still play Halo 3 or excited to hear about this?

I'd have to disagree, Halo originally started as an RTS game and Ensemble is developing the game. The game is already looking promising and looking back at the Age of Empire's series, I think it's safe to say they WILL be selling Halo Wars and it will be ground breaking for RTS gaming on consoles for it's simplistic controls.

P.S.

It was just revealed at the Tokyo Game Show that the long, long delayed Halo Wars (whose developer has had a bit of a struggle) will be releasing to the Xbox 360 EARLY 2009. Got that fellow fanboys, EARLY 2009 and you can bet we're going to hold Ensemble and Microsoft to that.

Also confirmed (after months and months of speculation) is the inclusion of the Flood in Halo Wars. No specifics yet, just know that they'll be part of the Marine and Covenant party.

Why did you sell your 360? Did you buy a PS3 just for blu-ray? The Playstation brand has gone down imo because it lost so many 3rd party exclusive's..Final Fantasy is a big one coming to 360, and thats just the tip of the ice burg..360 is far superior in it's online and will only continue to be come November 19th when they update the dashboard and tweak the online experience for the better, plus Netflix integration.
