Halo 3: Recon Information

[Shawn Zipay]

The latest issue of Game Informer magazine, just now hitting the hands of subscribers, features a cover story on the Halo 3 expansion, Recon.

* Paul Bertone describes the scope of H3:R as "a three to five-hour expansion pack"
* Recon Armor will be earnable for all - complete the Vidmaster Challenge series of achievements and it's yours
* Bungie's Joe Staten says "we do not view this as a $60 title"
* The cover art is spectacular (seen above), and has been whipped up by Bungie newcomer Jaime Jones.

The issue has more exclusive information and screenshots packed into the ten page feature. If you're interested, be sure and look for the Game Informer with "Halo 3: Recon" clearly shown on the cover.

Re: Halo 3: Recon Information

The ODST armor functions very similarly to MJOLNIR armor in the game in that it will refill with time and serve as your only form of health? I don't think this makes sense because the explanation for the shield bar has always lay with the MJOLNIR armor, so essentially the ODST has a slightly weaker version. Bungie could easily come up with a better explanation for this expansion if this is the case, but whatever I'm not a Halo aficionado anyway. I won't buy this even if the gameplay is completely different.
