As a fan of HALO 3, this is exciting as heck, and while we all love Master chief, it is VERY nice to be playing someone else. Maybe we can even customize the character for more personalize play. From a business perspective, it’s a MASSIVE boon for M$. I’m not sure if this will go retail or stay DLC, but here’s this thing of it…This will lead the 2009 holiday line-up for M$. I can a “new” Halo edition 360, with the game for those who don’t already own it. Then there’s the lower development cost for using the same engine, and instead just improving on the already existing one. Maybe they can even have a few specialization features of the recon marine. I’m excited about it, and DLC will mean a lower entry price for the product, even though it will be like a new game.
