Halo3: Recon [Fall 2009]

Is that what all that Keep it Clean bullshit was about?

Oh Christ, I can only hope an above average Halo game is made.

I was wondering about that, you would think a viral was promoting a new product or IP? But in Bungie's case, no.
 
Really really cool trailer.
I prefer the dude's helmet alot over that cheesy helmet master chief wears... He looks cool and stuff, cant wait. Hooray for Bungie.

-dodo
 
Looks good. I'll be more impressed if they release for Windows though.
 
If that's what their big E3 announcement was supposed to be, they can **** off and die.
 
I can't wait. I loved the look of that silenced weapon. FINALLY.

I'm also intrigued by the directional clues. If the game stays true to the trailer it looks like yours orders and hints/directions will be given through civilian screens. Should be pretty wicked.
 
Nice trailer, I've always loved the armour on those troops. Can't honestly picture a "recon" game on the Halo 3 engine, though...
 
I think whats going to **** me over the most in this game is that I'll think I'm MC and just jump into firefights.
 
I know a lot of people on here dislike Halo but I have to say, I enjoy them, sure they're definitely overrated but they're not as extremely mediocre as everyone makes them out to be..
 
Halo's great, so long as you ignore the hype and counter-hype (and the online community). I just... really don't see Halo and subtlety going hand-in-hand.
 
you may be on to something...good video too
 
This outta be something new, you're no longer quite strong enough to take them on like before.

You don't have to play them, you know? I mean, I could sit here all day and list thousands of bands I wish would just give it up, or directors I hope to sit out of jumping on the next gravytrain that rolls around, but it's much easier to just not bother watching or listening to them.

Downloading the trailer now.

EDIT: Pretty cool. I loved the music when the ODST left the pod/hid from the Brutes, but after that it was just a cheesier version of the Halo 3 theme, which was just bordering on cheezy in my opinion. The text at the end reminded me of 80's sci-fi, too, such as Aliens and The Thing, but I'm not sure why. Other than that, cool. Xbox.com and a whole bunch of other sites have a lot of cool features pinned down to be included in the game, such as 4 player co-op, a brand new multiplayer experience, Forge, Saved Films, campaign scoring and hints towards the rumoured new Sandbox Forge, but thats still something that hasn't been talked upon by Bungie just yet. If I'm honest, I don't trust anyone elses word on what the game will include until Bungie make a statement themselves because it wouldn't be the first time (I don't think) a site has listed down the wrong features. We'll see, though. I really do hope all of the above will be included.

The Halo human tech designs are consistently awesome. Shame this only increases the shittyness of the contrastive alien designs. It's like they ninja'd their way into the Aliens art department, but forget to even take some vague pointers on hostile alien design.

Instead, they stole the colour scheme from my signature or something. That's right. I turned Halo GAY.
 
I must say, the game would lose a lot of it's Halo feel since the gameplay would be changed a lot to accommodate to the un-godlike-ness of a regular Marine. The biggest change would probably be that your melee won't really hurt anyone except for like, Grunts. But hey, it's a good thing that they are doing something a bit different from the norm.
I really liked the music in this one, except for the very end, yeah it got a bit cheesy towards the very end.

Edit:, just noticed the post above me, and I disagree very much. I really don't like brutes, but Elites are one of my favorite video game enemies, and Hunters are really cool also. And the color scheme is very original, have you ever seen a game where all the bad guys are are dressed and carry pink and purples stuff and still look cool? Me doesn't think so.
However I do agree that half the aliens don't look very hostile, but hey, if you were an alien and you saw a human, would you be scared?
It kinda makes sense that not all other life forms in the universe are not incredibly bad ass.
 
Wut, the music was all incredibly cheesy.

Doesn't look particularly interesting, prob won't bother playing if my flatmate buys it.

I wish more people prescribed by this philosophy. But hating is a pessimism of everyday life in today's world, people should just stfu and gtfo. I don't explicitly go into some MMO thread and start hating, I just don't go in them.

I do look forward to what they're planning on with this game in terms of story and gameplay, out to be interesting.

No, and I've played Halo.

I think the problem is that it comes from an age of Graphics where 'ooh shiny!' was king and now it's lumbered with it. The fact that the later titles introduced the brutes and darker Elites like the Arbiter seem like suitable back peddling to me, but still, I can't shake the feeling that someone at Bungie went to the Jar Jar Binks school for Alien design.

Is there any word on any of the 360-only Halo titles being poorted to PC, or do we have to wait for Windows 7? Also, I hereby dub this title 'Halo Threecon' before anyone else, and I want to be paid royalties by every games journalist who uses it after me.
 
That trailer certainly hints at a very different direction for the game, I wonder if that will follow through into the game itself.
 
Most of the aliens look sweet to me - Elites, Brutes, Grunts, Hunters - especially compared to most fps.

Anyways, back on topic ... **** yeah! \o/
 
With this game bridging the gap between the Chiefs departure from Mombasa and his return during Halo 3, I'm hoping we're finally going to see the city combat we were promised way back in... I forget when, but when Bungie released that 8 minute in-game demo of the Chief fighting street to street at E3. That looked really good back then, and If I'm honest I still like the look and feel of the urban combat now.

But most importantly, I'm interested to see where the game is going to go in terms of change. Actually, thats a lie - I've always been more interested in the Halo MP then I have the SP, so I'm really excited as to what they've got in store this time around.
 
Cant wait.

Glad to see there sticking to the Viral Marketing, and it looks like the City's AI or whatever the hell it is will be directing you/helping you out as you go along.
 
I'm pretty sure at one point in the game you come to a field filled with Brutes and there's a screen above them with the AI saying "Any contact with all these brutes will result in an unsatisfactory mark on your testing record, followed by death. Good luck!"

Seriously, from what I've seen and read, the AI isn't in a very good shape, it seems to be malfunctioning/going rampant. Is it just me, or are powerful insane AIs getting pretty popular these days?
 
Well, from the Viral Marketing it seems to be the AI that keeps the city clean/in order and all that. So it's probably pretty pissed that the covenant just blew it to hell.

Also at 1:17 if you pause it, you can see the screen highlighting a car sticking out of a building with the words "Possible Parking Violation". Heh.
 
Woo hoo, answered my prayers! First person, more realistic, and no allies...

Awesome :D
