Recon Armour up for grabs on Bungie Day

Bungie, developers of Halo 3, have declared on their Weekly Update that the coveted Recon armour permutation will be up for grabs on Bungie Day, the 7th of July on a special Matchmaking playlist which uses community maps, apparently all you have to do is to beat a team of Bungie employees on the Bungie vs The World playlist. However, as Bungie stated, just aerbout everyone who has ever played Halo 3 online will be on that playlist, so the chances of facing a Bungie employee, recognisable by their flaming helmets, are very low.

No Master Chief in Halo 3:ODST

Bungie's Brian Jarrard, while speaking to Multiplayer, confirmed that Master Chief will not even be making a camoe appearance in the forthcoming game, Halo 3:ODST. This is due to the story arc, which is placed between Halo 2 and Halo 3, forces John-117 to be across the galaxy at the time when the game is set. Shame that, but the SPARTANS should make a return in 2010 with Halo Reach.

Another 2 Disc Game - But This is no problem with Halo 3 ODST

The developer Bungie have announced in their weekly update that forthcoming Xbox 360 exclusive, Halo 3: ODST, will ship with two disc. However, unlike Forza Motorsport 3, in which the second disc can be used in the single player story, Halo 3 ODST will feature its campaign and "Firefight" (a new multiplayer mode) on the first disc, and the standard Halo 3 Multiplayer on the second disc, which will feature all of the map packs for Halo 3 (including 3 maps exclusive to Halo 3:ODST), which will save you a lot of Microsoft Points.

Bungie apologises for lack of Halo 3: ODST news before E3

Bungie, everybody second favourite game developer, left an enigmatic note of apology in its weekly update on Friday, well Saturday in the UK since they posted it a 4pm PDT, making it 1am BST, and gave us more than a little hope of major news at E3, perhaps right at the end of the Microsoft conference, Master Chief will run on stage, clutching an assault rifle and a copy of the game and a release date comes up on screen, we live in hope.
