Halo 3: ODST (formerly named Halo 3: Recon) is a standalone expansion for Halo 3, based in the fictional Halo universe. In the game, players will take on the role of a UNSC Orbital Drop Shock Trooper (ODST) during the events leading up to Halo 3.

ODST takes place in the Halo universe in the year 2552, during the events of Halo 2. While the main characters of Halo 2 are on the Forerunner ringworld known as Delta Halo, ODST follows what happens at the city of New Mombasa, Kenya, in the midst of an invasion by the Covenant.

Although the gameplay of Halo 3: ODST bears a strong resemblance to previous Halo games, the player does not assume the role of the Master Chief as in the Halo trilogy. Instead, the player controls a lone soldier in the city of New Mombasa, Kenya. Since the soldier, known as an ODST or Orbital Drop Shock Trooper, does not possess Master Chief's advanced armor, reflexes and strength, he is more vulnerable to weapons fire; players are forced to act more cautiously. While the game is not focused on stealth gameplay, some elements of stealth will be incorporated. It will also include an open world environment.

The main objective of ODST is to lead the soldier through the ruins of New Mombasa and discover what happened to his missing teammates. After finding a piece of evidence left behind—a sniper rifle hanging on a lamppost, for example—a flashback is triggered and the player assumes the role of the missing soldier.
