Brian Jarrard, Community Director for Bungie Studios, revealed some tidbits about the upcoming Halo 3: Recon release in an interview with
Joystiq. Jarrard confirmed the presence of at least one new weapon, a new soundtrack and hinted at other new features as well. He also spoke extensively on Bungies’ choice to retell part of the Halo 2 story.
”Halo 3: Recon is really a labor of love for our fans. Just doing more of the same wasn’t good enough for us, so the team started working on ideas to change things up a bit. The ODSTs have always been fan favorites and the events that unfolded on Earth is something fans still clamor for after being ”short changed” in Halo 2,” said Jarrard.
Jarrard also commented on the compatibility of Halo 3, and Halo 3: Recon for online players. He said that Halo 3: Recon is really ”two games in one. You have the new Recon campaign that is a separate “title ID” and includes 1000 gamerscore and achievements, etc. It’s campaign only. The multiplayer maps are more Halo 3 goodness, still considered “regular” Halo 3 content and the multiplayer stuff is interchangeable in that regard.”
