Today Bungie announced it's newest title, Halo 3: Recon.

After watching the teaser video, the first thing I noticed was no more Master Chief. It appears you are now controlling a human soldier known as an ODST (Orbital Drop Shock Trooper). These guys are suppose to be a level below the Spartans (which is what Master Chief is).

They haven't told us what this guys name is, why he's by himself, or how the gameplay is going to work. All we know is that he's human. Some have suggested the gameplay is going to be more of a stealth based game rather than the spray and pray type game Halo is.

Here is what was released on Xbox's official website.

• All-new campaign content: The Halo 3: Recon campaign is an intriguing side story that takes place during the terrifying events leading up to the Master Chief’s return to New Mombasa in Halo 3. Experience the fate of Earth from the brand-new perspective of a special forces ODST (Orbital Drop Shock Trooper), adding a unique outlook and new gameplay elements to the events that unfold in the trilogy’s finale. While the feel of this new chapter greatly resembles that of previous Halo experiences, Halo 3: Recon will require you to employ more elements of stealth and cunning than ever before.
• Prepare to drop: Known for their courage, valor and, at times, insanity, ODSTs are among the fiercest UNSC soldiers, priding themselves on being the first unit deployed into hostile situations. While not as large or supernaturally gifted as their Spartan comrades, these "Hell Jumpers" more than compensate with their ferocious attitudes and unwavering nerve.
• Expanded multiplayer collection:No Halo experience would be complete without groundbreaking multiplayer content, and Halo 3: Recon gives fans more of what they love. With exclusive new maps and expanded Forge options, Xbox LIVE® Gold members will find more multiplayer content than ever before with Halo 3: Recon.
• Ever-growing community options: Enjoy all the great Halo 3 technological innovations, including Saved Films, screenshots, Campaign Scoring, and four-player co-op. All of the new multiplayer maps fully support the Forge editor, offering endless gameplay customization possibilities.

That little bit right there is enough to get me excited. However, the game is still not set to be released until next Fall. Hopefully Bungie will give us a steady supply of new information on this game. They did a great job with Halo 3 so I'm sure they will with this new installment as well.
