Even more information on Bungie’s expansion Halo 3: Recon has come from the Tokyo Game Show. Destructoid attended a conference where it was mentioned that the game takes place “during the events leading up to Master Chief’s return to New Mombasa” meaning that the game takes place between the last two Halo games.

Meanwhile, over on NeoGAF, Bungie’s Luke Smith posted word that Recon “isn’t a stealth action game like Splinter Cell.” What that means is that core gameplay mechanics like health regeneration may be out of the question, but Smith is being cryptic about it: "No, I’m not talking about how it’s different.”

Halo 3: Recon is expected to be released exclusive to Xbox 360 in Fall 2009.
