Speaking to Joystiq Bungie community director Brian Jarrard has further explained what we can expect from the single-player and multiplayer elements of next autumn’s Halo 3: Recon.

“Think of Halo 3: Recon really as two games in one,” said Jarrard. “You have the new Recon campaign that is a separate “title ID” and includes 1000 gamerscore and achievements, etc. It’s campaign only.”

He continued: “The multiplayer maps are more Halo 3 goodness, still considered “regular” Halo 3 content and the multiplayer stuff is interchangeable in that regard. If you purchase the Mythic Map pack via the Xbox Live Marketplace early next year, but your friend doesn’t get those maps until the Recon disc comes out, they will work together just fine.”

So it sounds like Halo 3 players who snap up the Mythic Map Pack early in 2009 will already be playing much of the multiplayer elements found in Recon.
