Halo 3: Recon is a prologue to Halo 3 that goes through major events leading up the Halo 3 from an entirely new perspective.

Halo 3 Recon Video

Video of the Halo 3 Recon is now available on Bungie.net.

The video continues where the previous teaser left off, showing the drop pod crash through a building, where an ODST later emergest. The trooper is alone, and in a hostile environment with covenant ships and brutes scouting for survivors.

We see our new hero head off, as Halo 3 Recon takes the screen.

New Hero.

New Campaign.

Arguably Halo: CE’s most popular map, Chill Out was put on display last night by Bungie at the MLG San Diego event, the second stop on the 2008 MLG Pro Circuit. The new map – dubbed ‘Cold Storage’ – was displayed by Luke Smith and Shishka in an exhibition match against two MLG stars. The boys from Bungie made no mention of the intended release date.

MLG has kindly hosted some images from the event. Follow this link for the gallery.

We’ll be keeping you updated on the new maps as they are announced, and we might even help a few lucky readers pay for the pack.
