Halo 3: Recon Officially Renamed Halo: ODST

Back in October, Bungie excited Halo fans across the globe with the announcement that it's working on a new expansion for the game, Halo 3: Recon. Well, now according to the developer's blog, you should wipe Recon from your minds and replace it with Halo 3: ODST (ODST stands for Orbital Drop Shock Trooper).

"If you recall, this is our recently announced stand-alone extension to Halo 3 that features an all new campaign played from the perspective of an ODST in the heart of a Covenant occupied New Mombasa. In addition to sleuthing around the city and piecing together the details surrounding your squad's whereabouts, the game will also include some new Halo 3 multiplayer content as well as one or two unrevealed surprises when it's released next Fall," Bungie said.

"This new title is a more straightforward account of the experience that awaits and the role you will assume as you explore the streets of New Mombasa. But don't worry, you can still has Recon. (the armor that is, it's still tied to the Vidmaster achievements and will be accessible via the final retail release next Fall)."

Bungie also commented in October that this new expansion could be its last Halo project, as the team would like to work on other IP.
