I woulda liked Halo 3: Helljumper. But that's just a random thought. I think that the change is fine, but I do agree that Recon was better.
-
more syllables... it doesn't roll off the tongue like recon does.
-
Having read the comments in this thread, I think you should call it Halo 3: STFU.
-
I dig it.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] xXHaRmXx [i]Halo 3: Helljumper[/i] is badass.[/quote] Agreed. That title does have a ring to it. Of course so does Halo 3: Chupathingie
-
Recon sounds better in my oppion, c'est la vie.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Fearing [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Herr Zrbo This just seems silly and unnecessary. 'Recon' was fine, easier to pronounce, and doesn't confuse anybody. "ODST? Is that some new operating system I need to run this?"[/quote] Since Bungie has said a few times, in the Podcast at least, that this game, while anyone can enjoy it, is really being made for the hardcore Halo fan in mind. A hardcore Halo fan knows what an ODST is. Someone who likes Halo, but is not that gung ho about it, may not know what an ODST is, but they understand the Halo 3 part of the title, and since in this game they play as an ODST they probably will need to learn what and ODST is. What better way to get the player to learn that than to make it the title? [/quote] I realize what you're saying. It just seems unnecessary to me. Recon was easier to say, and had a sense of intrigue to it. I suppose if they're going to change the name that they do it sooner rather than later. Seems like some folks are already wondering whether the name change was a copyright issue.

It neither sounds better nor rolls off the tongue as well. But I guess We can refer to it now as H3:O (Or H3O, a common ion).
-
AAHHH! Change! AAAAAAAHHHH! Ok, I'm over it. Makes more sense anyway.

I prefered Recon. ODST sounds cool, but it's too long, while Recon just rolls off the tongue much easier.
-
Hmmm, I liked the Recon title, but I like this too. Guess I can't complain, but I am a little curious as to the reason for the change.
-
wow talk about a retarded marketing tactic. im sorry but recon sounds way better and is much more popular name in the halo 3 franchise. i will refuse to ever call it halo 3 ODST and i will never delete the teaser vid on my box titled halo 3 RECON (what it should be called for a million and one reasons starting with thats what it was announced as)
-
lol Make up your mind already. Halo 3: Odest
-
I don't like the name. I want to go back in time to when it was called HALO 3: RECON.
-
i wonder what is going to be added to multiplayer, and now im not going to sleep becuase ill keep thinking whats going to be the unrevealed surprice WHY NOW BUNGIE??????!!!!!!!!!! WHY NOT 1 MONTH FROM THE RELEASE OF THE GAME (sorry for caps)
-
I don't see how you thought this was a good idea. It sounds horrible.

OMG this title is so much better! I <3 how it just rolls right off the tongue. [Edited on 11.25.2008 10:47 AM PST]

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Follin Maybe it will grown on me, but I still would rather see Halo 3: (The) Helljumpers than Halo 3: ODST. Oh well, though I bet Game Informer is like DOH![/quote][i]Halo 3: Helljumper[/i] is badass. And [i]ODST[/i] sounds very unappealing. That's kinda why helljumper was a prefered way to say it in the first place. [Edited on 11.25.2008 10:46 AM PST]

Alrighty then. I cant wait for Halo 3: Rec...I mean ODST =D
-
Meh, i preferred Recon but i suppose this will do...
-
You'd think something like a title would be set in stone. Are you guys just making stuff up as you go along or what ? *Points at Bungie and laughs.* I'm still calling it Halo 3 : Brute Occupation.
-
I think it sounds pretty lame....now was this a creative decision or legal issue with another game, particularly Ghost Recon? Halo 3: Recon Halo 3: ODST hmm... ODST just feels boring..while Recon makes it feel more stealthy, which was the point right? This is sorta like calling Halo 2: Master Chief and The Arbiter [Edited on 11.25.2008 10:37 AM PST]
