So if you remember back in September Heather reported on a trailer Bungie released and everyone thought that it would be a new campaign expansion for Halo 3? Well sorry to burst your bubble but we were all wrong.

Microsoft announced at the Tokyo Game Show that this is actually a stand-alone expansion. But there is a twist, you won't be seeing good ol' Master Chief in this one. You will be placed in the shoes of a UNSC Recon Soldier, he/she will serve as the all new hero for a whole new storyline and campaign.

Here is the new trailer if you haven't seen it yet.

I am totally excited for this, I have read the books and I truly think Master Chief is definitely an awesome character but it will be really interesting to see the war with the Covenant at a different angle. Maybe we will learn more about the Spartan Project? We shall see.

oh forgot to say did peoples see Far-Cry 2 Map Editor display at the Tokyo Game show freaken amazing map editor (and that's a map editor not some bullshit Forge like halo 3). Its so simple and easy to use plus while map making you can jump in and out of the map, as in while you are building a map you can jump into the map pretty much instantly and back to map editorializing(like instincts jump in and out) link = http:[]//au.gamespot.[]com/pc/action/farcry2/video.html?sid=6199163

...oh yeah this is a halo 3 recon blog...my bad :D

i had a look at Fable 2 gameplay movies...not looking as expected might be a very good game but err the combat isn't like i thought it would be. so far i have seen two types of swings and that's about it the effects look sorta fable 1 like but i dunno you should see the gameplay vids from Tokyo i guess.

what else MR. Cliff B talks about the no pc release himself http:[]//au.gamespot.[]com/xbox360/action/gearsofwar2/video/6198576

my god i think they need to give the halo series a rest for a while. dont get me wrong halo is a pretty sweet fps. i just think bungie could make another fps with another original story and characters that is not expanding on halo. im sick of the halo universe.

I'll definitely check this game out. I still like Halo, but I'm getting sick of the formula of the current Halo trilogy so it's nice to see a new take on the franchise.

looks good, i will definitely look forward since i love anything related to Halo.

so this is just an expansion? is that what they were working on this whole time.

Its a "stand-alone expansion" meaning it will be released as a separate game. I guess you could say its like a "prequel" to the Master Chief side of the story. I'm not totally sure though. But I am really interesting in playing as a UNSC Recon Soldier, I just hope that they give a little more info on the Spartan Project.
