Oh Look! A New Halo Game! |

As announced in the middle of last friggin’ night (it was in Japan) here’s the announcement trailer for what we now know as Halo 3 Recon:
I have to be totally honest, this got me kind of excited. Not because I’m a Halo lore nerd but because I love playing the Halo campaigns.
On the other hand is this the first sign of a possible “Guitar-Heroing” of the Halo franchise? Supposedly there’s about 5 or 6 other Halo games in the works so we’ll have to sit tight and see.

Kind of a cool trailer, but this project reeks of contract fulfilment.

I’m pretty excited too. But Fall 2009? I was expecting something more along the lines of a few extra hours of downloadable content, and would have been totally fine with it. But it appears as though MS is positioning Recon as a full retail release with full multiplayer and whatnot included.
This also raises the issue of online compatibility with the original Halo 3 disc. If Recon features its own multiplayer suite, will it be compatible with the already huge Halo 3 multiplayer community? Will Halo 3 players HAVE to buy into Recon to play with Recon owners? Will they offer a separate multiplayer download for Halo 3 owners to ensure compatibility? A lot of questions yet to be answered. I’m sure Bungie would not set this up as an either/or proposition, as it would fragment a hugely popular online community.
Frankly, I would have rathered a smaller downloadable version sooner than this full release due out a year from now. Then again, maybe I’m just impatient.
