Halo 3 expansion gets renamed
From Recon to ODST. Catchy.
Updated on
The forthcoming expansion pack for Halo 3 has been given a new name.
When it was unveiled at TGS last month, the expansion was titled Halo 3: Recon. But now, according to the Gamerscore blog, it's been retitled Halo 3: ODST. Trips off the tongue. Or, as Tom put it, "sounds like an ear infection".
There is a reason for the change, of course; ODST stands for Orbital Drop Shock Troopers. Many of them will feature in the expansion pack formerly known as Recon; they drop into the ruined city of New Mombasa, looking for clues about the Covenant's attack.
There's still no word on a release date for the expansion, but you can catch up on all the info we have over on the gamepage.
