I like this change, the name fits the game 100% better now.

Halo 3: Recon sounded a lot better. halo 3: ODST doesit flow as well, and really, sounds retarded. WHY DID THEY CHANGE IT (btw Halo 2: Master Chief? lmao, makes sense. sounds -blam!- dumb doesnt it? exactly.) [Edited on 11.28.2008 1:38 PM PST]

My guess as to the real reason of the change is that most players have put the Recon armor on a pedestal, and they don't want any free associating of that armor perm with this as yet unreleased game. Why? This game is going to be hated loudly by the general bungie community. Mark my words. They are fickle. They hated Halo 3. They will assuredly hate this. It makes me sad though. I love Halo. Every iteration thus far has been awesome. But there are haters out there that suck the fun out of everything. I can see the threads now. You have been warned.

this sucks i thought halo 3: recon was a pretty baller name
-
Bungie why would you do this [Edited on 11.28.2008 7:55 AM PST]

I still call it Recon.
-
I've said this before, and I will say it again. Maybe Bungie had planned to first unveil it as Halo 3: Recon to tip off it's fans that recon will be achievable at some point, and later planned to change it's name to Halo 3: ODST. Whatever their reasoning is behind changing the name, I like it, and I think it has more relevance to the game, and characters then Recon.[quote][b]Posted By:[/b] A Deaf Boy Makes more sense.

I liked the "Recon" name better, to be honest. =/
-
so the vidmaster achievements are linked to getting Recon amour. mabye im just confused
-
does the mythic maps come with halo 3 odst and can you download the mythic maps from the market place.
-
I don't like the name change at all but it's not enough to make me not want to buy it,it's just a minor annoyance really.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Sasquatch119 is it called odst because if it was called recon then people would think that you get recon armor automatically?[/quote] AHA! someone is thinking outside the box.. Now anyone else wanna think smartly in here?(sorry if that insulted anyone...) But if ya think.. there WILL be a vidmaster achievment IN halo 3: OhDST that you will probably have to unlock.. and to be more specific.. they are probably NOT going to tell you what you have to do... that is.. unless the're going to let down all the true Halo 2 fans:(.... You wouldnt do that.. would you.. bungie?
-
Halo 3: Recon sounds way better. Halo 3: ODST just sounds... dumb... hate me all you want, when people hear recon they think of an elite fighting force. When they hear ODST they will think WTF is that?
-
that sounds awesome!!! Its Catchy too
-
That's too bad. I feel recon is much better suited for the title. And it flows better too. If you guys did this with all your games I would be playing Spartan and Arbiter 3, instead of Halo 3.

OH MY GOD I JUST LOOKED AT THE LOGO AND IT LOOKS -blam!- COMPARED TO RECONS. I was going to get the wallpaper as well but i dont like the new logo, it looks tacky. :(
-
Even though ODST makes more sense I still think Recon sounds a lot better and so do most of my friends. I miss the lod name :(
-
I think it was changed so it doesn't sound like Ghost Recon. Ah well, I like the rhyme
-
ewwwwwww recon was much better theyd be better of calling it halo 3.5 the musical
-
I'm usually not one for change, but this title works better. Lol will this mean we get ODST helmet for vidmaster? [Edited on 11.27.2008 8:12 AM PST]

Its pretty much an excuse to call Halo 2; [i]Halo: Super Cyborg and Alien Dude[/i] And Halo 3; [i]Halo: The Return of Super Cyborg and Alien Dude[/i]
-
i still think recon sounds better
-
Damn you, Microsoft! Halo 3: Recon, or Halo 3con, was such a good name. Hell, even my girlfriend thought it was catchy. Halo 3: ODST? Screw the crappy rhyme. I shall always call it recon.
-
i figured it was because Recon is a Spartan variant, and ODST is a different branch than the Spartans
