Despitetime concerns, it appears as thoughHalo 3 Reconwill have a bit more meat to it than what we thought. According to the latestGame Informerspread on the game,Reconwill feature an open environment where players can traverse the game’s focal point, New Mombasa, and take missions at will.
The new details stemming from the article (viaCVG) are numerous. First of all, players will be experiencing Recon through the eyes of a soldier called The Rookie. Just like Master Chief, he’ll remain behind his helmet. Apparently, he won’t be talking either. He’ll lack shields, but not the ability to regenerate health. Basically he’s a step down from the Chief, which should lend credence to the slower paced, strategic gameplay.
The story of the game revolves around the disappearance of four squad members. Each member’s location is provided as a pinpoint on the game’s map system, which can be checked via a PDA. After getting the map hammered, players will visit the scene of a disappearance and put together cluesto solve what happened. At this point, the game will put players in the shoes of the missing soldier to act out what happened in the scenario.More details are included in a nifty list after the break.
