Well, there will be a "new" recon, so ..... I'm sure the won't be playable like that... will they?

 

[Shade88]

Well Bungie has released concept art showing an ODST wearing recon helmet, so I guess the ODST can haz recon.

 

[Shade88]

Well here is the Recon armour concept.

 

[Shade88]

http://www.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?ty...s&cid=16545 Well this is where the I found the concept art, and more.

 

[Shade88]

I think it's interesting, let's see how it goes.

 

[Shade88]

My question is, is the green ODST the main character, (Because of the new smg being held by him.) or, is it the normal ODST? (Because the armor is the same/standard armour that Bungie has been showing him in, minus the new smg.)

 

[Shade88]

Either way, I digging the CQB armour, and that sniper armour ain't looking too bad either.

 

[sirfroget]

have you seen the thigh armor on the recon ODST its a mark iv and so is the shin thats weird

 

[ka5p3r]

i noticed the shins and thighs also. i have to say that i really like this

You like this?
I personally think it looks like they took a bunch of armor pieces, threw em in a bucket, picked a few out, and just threw em together. It doesnt seem like any real thought was put into it. I realize that it was supposed to be called "Recon" and you get Recon from the game, but its just really silly in my opinion. The visor could atleast be a different color so it doesnt look like a elephant in an ant parade.

 

[Shade88]

I think that the Rookie (The one on the far right.) is of course the new guy, so maybe he didn't have time to get the new armour pems. I just hope the A.I.s for the Marines/ODST are smarter, and I hope that we'll get some more stealth weapons, and some stealth vehicles.

Those ODSTs look badass!!.

I think the should have made Recon black to fit in with the Helljummper style. I ain't digging the blue paint that much.

I have a theory,

Is that first picture possibly photoshopped off of the concept art picture?
Someone saw the concept art, shooped the pic, everyone is made to believe it is real. I could have swore Ive seen that Recon position before, along with the colors... =\

 

[Enrisan]

the idea of a recon helmet on an ODST looks true, but in that particular picture it just looks weird... something just doesn't look right about the way the helmet looks. Looks like it was copy and pasted onto the ODST's head.

ODST's were confirmed to wear Recon some time ago.. this was all part of the 'you can haz recon' press release that Bungie did a while back.. But it's also been listed @ Halopedia for a while now:

There are several different variations that ODST's equip, with mission-specific functions and goals. Ranged, Close Quarters and Recon variants exist, each designed to better enable their wearers to operate at different ranges, and for different missions.

EDIT: Here's their names:

Finding one of these objects sends the player back in the game to find out what happened to one of his four squadmates (Mickey, Dutch, Romeo, and Buck).

Mickey - One of the Rookie's squadmates, his expertise in the squad is currently unknown [16].
Dutch - The Heavy Weapons specialist.[16] [18]
Romeo - The Marksman in the squad, and is quoted as being a "wiseass".[16] [18]
Buck - One of the Rookie's squadmates, his expertise in the squad is unknown.[16]

Also @ Halopedia.

But as long as we're looking at cool new Recon stuff:

 

[ACDCrockr209]

You forgot 1 person.

Some of you might know the women under the recon armor from a little show called Battlestar Galactica. I think her name was number 6 or sumthing like that.

She will be lending her voice for the game (I saw a pic of her and shee is bloody hot!!!).

I personally don't watch the show but I read it in an article.

Hope this helps a bit or alot.

[Trooper Cooper]

Isn't the woman mentioned an ONI operative, from released Bungie materials?

 

[ACDCrockr209]

I think so, but she could also be an ODST since ODSTs had both male and female volunteers(we fought with all male soldiers during the games Halo 2 and 3).

Nope... Number 5 is the rookie, the player that you play as... no info on who he is period, other than that he is the main protagonist of ODST, and a Lance Corporal in the UNSC Marine Corps..


Captain Dare - The Rookie's female commanding officer and Naval Intelligence operative. She is voiced by famed actor Tricia Helfer


She's the one in the ODST helmet dude:

* This Marine is voiced by Tricia Helfer [4], who is widely known for her portrayal of "Number Six" from Battlestar Galactica. She joins Katee Sackhoff as Battlestar cast members lending their voices to the Halo games.

* She is said to wear a type of armor which is not identified yet [5], though has been shown to be a modified version of the Recon armor for ONI personnel.
