Microsoft has explained that its decision to rename the upcoming
Halo 3 storyline expansion was made to "accurately reflect" the gameplay "experience" of the Fall 2009 release. So, if you're the kind of user who thought
Halo 3: Recon -- the game's
original name -- was based around being some kind of perverted Covenant voyeur,
Halo 3: ODST leaves nothing to the imagination.
Microsoft Game Studios product manager Ryan Crosby told
GamePlayer that the change helps showcase the new stars of the action, the Orbital Drop Shock Troopers. Not familiar with the elite unit? The ODSTs are to
John McClane as Master Chief is to Superman ... and if you still don't get it,
read a book or something.
Correction: Ryan Crosby is an employee of Microsoft Game Studios, not Bungie.
