Master ODST.

Don't take that seriously.

Nah, ODST Chief.

He will probably have a codename that the military often provides.

Chuck Norris

and half of them were dead too, sooo....

It might have something to do with the angle of impact, the 2 buildings, and the huge shockwave from the Slipspace blast.

The covenant caused 9/11.

They were killed by the slipspace field. Only one managed to avoid it, or he was late.

isn't it illegal and impossible to rip from games other than halo 1 ce?

Ha!

really I'm preety sure, cuz if your allowed plz tellz

HEK+ has an option to rip from Halo 2.

so, Halo 1, 2, and 3 use the same map file format. But the files and the tags are setup differently.
For HEK to rip from Halo 2, you would have to get plugins to support the halo 2 format

or... not.

People have been ripping from halo 2 for a while. Halo 3, not so much.

It's a whole new game. I would think they named it H3R instead of HR because they wouldn't want people to think it's a new trilogy.

I'm not sure about multiplayer. I would think if they are 2 games then they wouldn't be able to play with each other. Multiplayer will be the same as Halo 3's. It will just have exclusive maps.

No...

It will come on a separate disk, but when you go into the multiplayer lobby, you will be connected to halo 3 multiplayer.

have you guys ever seen bungie's weekly updates? IT WILL NOT BE ON A DISK

taken from context

I doubt there will be any flood. Halo 3 Recon will take place in New Mombasa which is obviously on Earth, and no flood were on Earth until the level Floodgate in Halo 3 as far as I know. So, it's unlikely that there will be any flood.

Unless he goes on a unexpected periluss journey to a foreurnner con struct

I hope so, I want to see some more forerunner structures. That's not likely though.

Halo 2 's campaign originally featured some Forerunner constructs on earth... this may be our chance to see them. I read somewhere bungie Hired the Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter Mission designer a couple months back... here's the ''Why'' hehe.

oh god, if this game ends up playing like ghost recon, i give up on halo. they SAY its suppose to play like halo, but after reading that, im beginning to doubt that

Apparently, it's still going to be a first-person shooter, but with more elements of stealth and squad tactics.

Honestly, Ghost Recon was the WORST game I have ever played IMO.

Gears of War 2 Ftw
FarCry 2 Ftw
Guitar Hero 5: World Tour Ftw

Overall, FTW

gears 2 isnt out yet.
also how the hell did we get to talking about favorite games? i said i hope the game play of H3R isnt like ghost recon, then you go off on how awesome games that havent come out yet will be
really people, ADD doesnt have to happen on an internet forum

Hmm well it's the mission designer of ''GRAW''. GRAW itself is a good tactical, squad shooter but GRAW2 was designed by another studio and is merely a ripoff GRAW with some stuff messed up. As for the previous Ghost Recon games, they're a totally different and I didn't like it either. GRAW's the one that spilled my attention so yeah, I'm pretty sure it'll be a first person game per bungie's word but I suspect it will be more tactical. You won't have a shield, may use a CoD2 style health system. As for the ''Tactical'' element, I'm pretty sure we'll meet other ODSTs and their role will surely be closer to what I always hoped my marines to be in Halo1/2/3. Efficient Allies that do not just rush into death AFTER You've cleaned up the mess.Considering all this, I'm expecting HAlo3:Recon to be a more ''Distant'' battling type ala GRAW. That said, it means you'll enter an area, expecting to see 20 brutes Hidden at various floors, some patrolling and others in plain sight... and will have multiple options on how to engage. Nevertheless, the game tone will be darker, scouring the bleeding remnants of a freshly destroyed metropolis with no survivor, Serious casualties to your ODST Corps and new brute packs, Seeking the Ark Portal. I would have loved to fight elites however, considering that at that time they had not yet been replaced by brutes in the Covenant.

Halo 3 recon isn't a squad-based game. There's a video interview on youtube, it should come up under a simple "Halo 3 Recon" search.

oh GRAW means ghost recon advanced war fighter. i have a ghost recon game. i dont know which one it is, but i die from 3 shots and have to go back to the beginning each time. it is infuriating. i do not like it. also my "squad" does nothing. theres a sniper who takes the lead of everyone else, a guy with an m249 who sprays everything (mainly where i am taking cover) and a guy with a different kind of assault rifle who was actually somewhat decent.
all in all, getting ambushed by 20 guys and dying in 3 shots with no checkpoints is absolutely maddening

An actual flood? Water. There wasn't any flood infections on Earth at that time.

Try GRAW^^

Also, yeah, you can give them trajectories and such, toogle between Recon mode( Defensive, Retaliate only) and Assault, where they will engage any enemy force in range.

if it ends up playing like brute force, where you can either send your squad in, or give them strategic positions, or just go in and mop up on your own, then i will be right at home.
