Halo 3: Recon is a 3 to 5-hour expansion pack

Still wondering what type of game Halo 3: Recon actually is? That question was answered by Bungie in the December issue of Game Informer.

According to the developer, it's actually a little of both. Bungie lead designer Paul Bertone described the title as "a three to five-hour expansion pack." Meanwhile, Joe Staten says they don't view this as a US$ 60 title. Guess we're gonna get it for less then.

A few more tidbits include that on the Recon Armor, which will apparently be made earnable for all - just complete the Vidmaster Challenge and it's all yours. While there are no screenshots to be had in this issue, there is that cool concept art on the cover. You might wanna check that out too.

Halo 3: Recon comes out Fall of next year.

yea, i think on their podcast they said the team working on it is a lot smaller than what was working on the original game. I don't know what the fraction is, but yea... plus on top of coding there's the whole process of getting things finalized and approved for production, marketing, and all that jazz. I'm not sure about how long all that takes, but it feels like next fall is about right.

I surely hope that's the case. I'm tired of this elitist bull***** about recon armor.

I don't play Halo 3 anymore. (I have all the achievements except the oddball one, and the two flag ones and light switch.) But I'll play it when the mythic map pack comes out, and maybe stay a little longer if I get recon.

Oh, and I won't be buying the campaign expansion. Halo 3's campaign sucked so bad, they should have paid us to play it.

# Yep, it's confirmed — Master Chef 2008-11-15 15:24

Get all the Vidmaster achievements (annual, 7 on 7, lightswitch, and brainpan) and Recon is yours.

However, you will not be able to get Recon unless you buy the expansion. Bungie has also confirmed that only 3 of the 6 Mythic maps will be released in Jan or Feb, the other 3 will come with Recon. You need to get the skulls on all six for the achievement

# Would like to add — Master Chef 2008-11-15 15:26

In case you don't want to read that, there are actually 3 more achievements required for Recon armor, and these are also only available with the expansion

# It takes them two years to come out with an expansion pack? — yworob 2008-11-15 15:51

This sure sounds like a waste. Why didnt they just come up with Halo 4 or some sort of prequel? This makes me wonder if they are keeping the next Halo game as a launch title for their next system to guarantee they sell a bunch of consoles. It only took two years to come out with GOW2 so two years for an expansion pack seems kind of weak.
