What motivated this change? It's like when the Nintendo Revolution suddenly became Wii. An apt name that embodied everything Nintendo intended for the new console, to a name that sounds like a slang word for urine. Now all of a sudden Recon has become ODST. I guess in the grand scheme of things it makes no difference, and it does make sense considering the main protagonist is an ODST. But Recon just sounded so much cooler, and rolled off the tongue, unlike the rather clunky acronym we've been given now. Whenever talking about ODST's, I always say marines simply because it's easier to say, and some people might not understand what I'm talking about. Conversation involving the new game will now be a little more awkward. The name could change again, but for now I think I'd rather call it Recon.
