Wow, I need to pay attention better. For whatever reason, I just automatically assumed Halo 3 Recon would be released as downloadable content when it comes out Fall of 09. As it turns out, Halo 3 Recon is going to be a standalone, disc-based game.
You won’t need the original Halo 3 to play this and Recon looks to have all of the original features such as four-player co-op and original multiplayer maps on top of the new maps as well.
And for those of you who keep saying this is going to turn into some kind of stealth action game, it’s not. It’s still going to be the Halo you know, except minus one Master Chief.
So long as this comes out at a reasonable price, I'll be happy. Hopefully Microsoft doesn't milk Recon for the standard $60 price tag.

And, yeah. I need some more info on the multiplayer. How is this going to be handled? Is it going to add to the original game, or what? This is confusing...
"Hopefully Microsoft doesn't milk Recon for the standard $60 price tag."
CTZ, you should know better. We're talking about Microsoft.
You can never really tell with these things. Don't forget that Bungie is huge now and there could be something in the works. Rumors are rumors for a reason though.
@ COXBLASTER
"I would consider a lackluster art direction in Halo 3."
I have to disagree with that. The game was fairly stylized. It wasn't gray and brown. It wasn't trying to be that tired out gritty look that's found in Gears of War and Call of Duty.
It wasn't Bioshock, but it certainly wasn't bland.
Hopefully as the title suggests, the gameplay is a more strategic shooter and not so run-and gun.
:/
Expand your vocabulary just a tiny bit and try not to associate negativity with a word which is commonly associated with a sexual preference.
Prick.
He probably meant that anything more than $40 would be really happy, almost giddy. :D
It's Bungie's way of striking back at the COD4 crowd who say Halo isn't "real" enough. Simple as that.
