Halo 3 Recon 'not Splinter Cell'

Bungie clarify new shooter details

Chatting on the ever-intriguing NeoGAF forums, Bungie game developer Luke Smith has spoken to assure Halo fans that the firm's new 'Recon' outing, announced at the Tokyo Game Show, won't see Halo going stealthy in the traditional sense.

"The word ’stealth’ here isn’t really a great word," he conceded (the official press release noted Recon would "employ more elements of stealth and cunning than ever before"). "This isn’t a stealth action game like a Splinter Cell game."

He continued: "This is a Bungie-made Halo game where you will play as an ODST, which of course, is different (and no, I’m not talking about how it’s different) than playing as a Spartan super soldier.

"This isn’t Halo Cell, Ghost Recon: Halo, Republic Commandalo or whatever."

More Halo 3 Recon very soon.
