Halo 3 – Recon; Just When You Thought The Fight Was Over

I thought I finished the fight? Oh well, fine by me; bring it on!

Recently, there has been a mysterious video from Bungie called “Keep it Clean”. This year, at the Tokyo Game Show, Bungie revealed a little bit more information regarding this tasty little secret.

Bungie showed the full trailer of the upcoming Halo 3 – Recon and it also showed the new character that one will play in the game. Although, there is a lot that is not known about this game, but what is known is that you don’t play as Master Chief, you will be playing as a new hero. There will be new campaigns as well. The game will be using the same engine as in Halo 3, but slightly altered.

Also, according to Microsoft, you will have to use the elements of stealth and sneak around the different levels as the game progresses. Bungie representatives, however, said that this is not a “stealth game”.

Personally, having a stealth game like Splinter Cell, but in the Halo environment, would be pretty cool and different than before. Not to mention Bungie and Microsoft could venture off into another franchise like they are doing with Halo Wars. Nevertheless, this game is producing much hype and will more than likely be an instant hit.

Unfortunately, there is no news on what type of weapons there will be, or what the maps will look like. Who will the main character be? Will Master Chief make an appearance? Will it be first person as in the past Halo shooters, or will Bungie explore new options with third person? Only time will tell, but until then enjoy the video and look for more information as it becomes available.

Halo 3 – Recon is not due out to the public until third quarter in 2009.
