You remember Bungie announced that game, Halo 3: Recon, which was to act as a kind of standalone game set in the Halo universe, following the exploits an Orbital Drop Shock Trooper in the currently-occupied city of New Mombasa, promising an all new campaign, as well as additional Halo 3 content?

Well, it’s still coming, only under a different name. Instead of the subtitle ‘Recon,’ Bungie are going with the less easy to remember (and say) ‘ODST,’ meaning the full title of the afore-explained game is Halo 3: ODST. Same game, different name, although we’re still assured we’ll get access to the Recon armour. That would only have made sense to Halo players…

In the theme of ‘same… same,’ Bungie have released an announcement trailer, which is the same trailer you may have already seen a couple dozen times before, but here it is to enjoy… again.

Halo 3: ODST will be releasing ‘next fall,’ while the Halo 3 Mythic Map Pack will be hitting Xbox LIVE Marketplace early next year. To learn more than you’d ever care to know about the ODST (Orbital Drop Shock Trooper), you can head on over to Bungie’s site for an internal interview with Bungie’s fiction guru.
