Bungie has made an official blog post stating that their upcoming Halo 3 expansion, 'Halo 3: Recon' is now to be known as 'Halo 3: ODST'. We actually like that name better as it is a bit more straight forward. ODST's are shock troopers by nature, not primarily reconnaissance units. We are gigantic geeks.

Halo 3: ODST will include the new single-player campaign as well as a few new multi-player maps and some as yet unannounced surprises. It will be released next Fall.

From the Bungie Blog:
'ODST' (literally pronounced 'Oh-Dee-Ess-Tee' and not 'ohdst') is the acronym for 'Orbital Drop Shock Trooper.' This special forces branch of the UNSC military force is called into action for highly specialized, small scale operations. ODST units were deployed during portions of the Halo 2 and Halo 3 campaign and have also been featured in some of the Halo novels. To learn more about this elite military operation, check out this recent interview with Bungie's Halo fiction guru, Robt McLees.
