Less than 8 hours is not a fair statement. The dev doesn't put a number on it, he purely states it's not a full blown title like Halo 3. The author claims to have beaten Halo in under 8 hours so he's GUESSING at a shorter play time for Recon.
The game is a year away, I don't think you could really nail a definitive length of time onto a project that uncompleted and you have zero more knowledge of it than me.
Just another case of a headline being used to make a article seem far more interesting (and controversial) than it actually is.
