Game Informer: Halo 3 Recon '3 to 5' hours, earn Recon armor

Eager for more info on Bungie's Halo 3 expansion, Halo 3 Recon? The scoop addicts at Game Informer are sporting it as their December cover story which, far from being spartan, is chock full o' details on the unusual offering. As we saw in Tokyo, the boys at Bungie are downplaying the game's length, insisting it's not "a $60 game" and is more like "a three to five-hour expansion pack."

Perhaps most interesting – especially for the scrupulous amongst you – is the ability to earn Halo 3's ultra-rare "Recon Armor," previously reserved for Bungie staffers and their community-based BFFs. Now, instead of hacking someone's account to get the armor, you can instead complete the gauntlet of 0-point "Vidmaster Challenge" achievements included in the September title update; once you've purchased Halo 3 Recon, that armor will ostensibly be unlocked in Halo 3 multiplayer. Worth the not-$60 pricetag? For some of the Bungie hopeful, undoubtedly.

lol its not just for recon, its for the game. the armor is a bonus apparently

They're right. Its not a $60 game its like a game when you're bored. I'm disappointed in Bungie doing both of these things. Now what are people supposed to look up for? What are people already holding recon suppose to feel? That they went through what they went through for shit? No when are we going to hear little kids talking about recon, or their fake dad being a Bungie employee?

Its not even a real game, let alone a 60$ one. I could see this being sold in the arcade. Definitely not getting this anytime soon to the release date, or not at all. I'm actually spending 60$ on real games that are longer than Lord of the Rings.

exactly, now the people won't believe that the people earned recon from bungie favorites really did.
Just like the katana and the marathon helmet. You used to have to get all 49 achievements, but now everyone nearly has it from getting enough.

[Playerhata27]

Wait , lol did I fail.

It is $60 right?

And at wiggums, exactly my point. There ruining the little moral Halo 3 has left.

[Chief wiggums]

Unless they get some new amazing half recon half hayabusa helmet
then i wouldn't rest until i got it.

[Playerhata27]

Well they're probably going to make a new armour and start recon all over again. But by that time most Half and half halo-ers would have left for bigger and better games.

Soon it will only be the loyal, halo 3 fans that have sticked with it form the beggining. Just watch the Online people day by day...

[Chief wiggums]

yah, im most likely going to be one of those people.
