Bungie: No more 'Halo 3' expansions

Bungie has revealed further details about the upcoming Halo 3: Recon, confirming that the expansion will be a "one-off".

According to Gamespot, Bungie.net's community lead Brian Jarrard spoke to the press at this year's Tokyo Game Show.

“Halo 3: Recon is our answer back to our fans," he said. "This is a game we felt like we needed to do. Our fans want more Halo 3 content and they want to do more in the Halo universe, and this is really our way to continue to support the Halo 3 fan base and given them something a little bit different than what they were expecting.

“In a nutshell, Halo 3 Recon is essentially an expansion, but it is also a standalone retail product. It will be sold in a box available next fall and will include hours of new campaign content, and an experience from an all new perspective. You will be playing the role of an Orbital Drop Shock Trooper, and the Master Chief will not be featured in this game in any way.”

It was also confirmed that the expansion will support a four player online co-op mode and will not be played from the third person perspective.

However, Jarrard added that Bungie is unlikely to produce add-ons for the title on a regular basis.
