Halo 3: Recon prequel coming in 2009

In Fall 2009, Bungie will release "Halo 3: Recon," which will serve as a prequel to the events in Halo 3.

The news was dropped during Microsoft's address at the Tokyo Game Show. Halo 3: Recon will put players in the boots of a UNSC recon soldier who will serve as a "new hero" for an all-new storyline and campaign.

The trailer footage shows a catastrophic explosion in a human city, the result of the Covenant's invasion of Earth. The camera then pans to show a group of heavily armored Brutes, the ape-like Covenant aggressors featured prominently in Halo 3's storyline.

The game is being developed by Bungie, the newly independent studio responsible for the original Halo trilogy. Microsoft mentioned a Fall 2009 release date on the Xbox 360.

It will be incredible. Can't wait, I know the graphics will see a huge overhaul. Similar to the trailer's seen for Halo Wars, those graphics from the cutscenes were amazing.

and i also hear that they will show master chief brushing his teeth and combing his hair!!! i really don't want to see master chief naked. i hope this one is good enough to play for longer than a week.

I really, really hope that the reason they are doing this is to add a stealth component to the franchise. That would be awesome.
