Bungie’s confirmed that Halo 3: Recon has been renamed to Halo 3: ODST.

As the firm points out through the link, ODST stands for Orbital Drop Shock Trooper, one of which is followed through New Mobasa in the game.
The standalone title ws announced at TGS earlier this year.

Sorry if I sound really dumb, but what would A.D.D stand for?
I just searched it and found it was a slang acronym for Asian Drinking Disorder also known as ‘Asian Glow’ XD
