Halo Wars Limited Collector’s Edition detailed

Today Microsoft Game Studios and Ensemble Studios announced the contents of the Halo Wars Limited Collector’s Edition. Scheduled to come out this Feb, the Limited Collector’s Edition comes packed with goodies. The box includes the game, six leader cards, a Spirit of Fire patch, the Halo Wars: Genesis graphic novel, and the Halo 3 Mythic Map Pack. Once you purchase the Limited Edition, you get access to a special “Honor Guard” Wraith download. When pre-ordered at select retailers, you will also get a code for a special flaming Warthog.

This is a pretty big Limited Edition, although one comes to expect that when they are being charged $79.99 for a game. If I were more of a Halo fan, I know what I’d be spending my Christmas money on.

Microsoft announces Halo 3: Recon

A week or so ago Bungie released a teaser for an upcoming game in the Halo universe. Yesterday the game was revealed to be Halo 3: Recon. Recon serves as a standalone prologue to Halo 3. Players will take control of an Orbital Drop Shock Trooper (ODST) Recon Marine, giving the classic protagonist, Master Chief, a break.

The game will support Save Films, screenshots, Campaign Scoring, and 4 player co-op. It also features new multiplayer maps and Forge options. Halo 3: Recon is being developed by Bungie and is scheduled for a Fall 09 release.
