1UP puts Halo 3: Recon in Perspective
Zeouterlimits noticed a pretty comprehensive interview at 1UP.com - Luke and Brian cover a bunch of stuff that hasn't been covered (or discussed explicitly) in other interviews, or in Bungie's own Q&A. Some of the information was already out there (Luke Smith clarified that Christian Allen, who came to Bungie after being Creative Director on Ghost Recon, is not working on this project on the NeoGAF forum a couple of weeks ago, for example), but some is pretty new. Bungie is pretty clear that "features that couldn't fit into the game" won't be added to this expansion - which probably means you shouldn't get your hopes up for stuff like sprinting, peeking, shooting lights - all features discussed (and scrapped) years ago. The Halo 1 pistol will NOT be making a return. This is NOT the beginning of a series of episodic releases (Brian termed it "an endcap to the Halo 3 experience"). The January 6, 2009 date that many have noticed in the KEEP IT CLEAN teaser is NOT an actual release date of anything - Bungie doesn't KNOW (exactly) when the Mythic Map Pack will be released. There will probably not be any map releases between the Mythic Map Pack (total map count: unknown, but likely 3) and Halo 3: Recon. And more. Definitely worth a read for every hardcore fan out there - it'll go a long way towards keeping expectations reasonable. (Louis Wu 12:09:02 UTC)
