My YouTube Channel. Just getting into the Machinima business.

I can't say, it really is up to Bungie to decide. Also, refer to the Recon thread bellow and see what the moderators have to say about Recon threads. Not trying to flame, just trying to help.

Also could anyone correct me if thats not the way to get recon armor

Maybe if you blew it to peices and then submited a video without mentioning recon. But I don't think they will give it to you if you ask if you can have it and then show them a video of you glitching the elephant out of existance.

It is at the total discretion of bungie to give it. They aren't even abliged to notice submissions for it.

LONELY ORPHAN! PLEASE ADOPT!

I've done that dozens of times...

You just make a bunch of trip mines spawn, and deploy a huge pile of them under it. Then shoot it and it blows it off the map.

My roommates built a map where the elephant continuously explodes and never hits the ground after it is airborne, ever.
Does it deserve something? I don't think so. Flipping the elephant was one of the earliest obsessions. Someone did it before the game was even officially released.

trolling in all caps solves nothing, merely calmly explaining the rules is the mature way to do things dude.

Sorry but bungie has said that all recon armor threads are to be stopped. And no, posting all your best pwnages will still earn you nothing, once in awhile you might get bungie favorites, but no armor.

I, like you, am a light-sound-vibration complex that resonates with others. I have hopes and dreams and ambitions, just like you! I AM, and so are you! Yes, we are one and the same, you and I.

What is so special about blowing up the elephant? Not only is it boring, but it's also unoriginal. It was mentioned in a weekly update!

"Hey Naku -- come join my game. I have this super-awesome rad thing to show you!"
"Tada! Look, I am wreaking all manner of havoc on the physics engine with my forge prowess and ingenuity! Ooh, look it bounced! Ah, there it goes it's bouncing again! Oh ahaahaha ohoohooh ha!"

That doesn't really interest me. I don't know why people find it fun. It's similar to the endless variety that modding provided on Halo 2 -- you know, shooting rockets out of plasma pistols, and shooting banshees out of plasma pistols, and shooting flags out of plasma pistols. That was fun the first game or two, but the difference is this Elephant tomfoolery never held my attention for a second.

What I don't get is why everyone is so obsessed over this armor. Just go about your business playing H3 to the best of your ability and if Bungie does happen to notice something about you they may give the armor to you.

The only thing deserving of recon armor is the ability to shut up about it. Its freaking armor for crying out loud, and all it is is an aesthetic enhancement for a game that already has many of those. Get over it guys.

God no. Everyone would have it.

And to answer your question, no. You can't have it. Don't bother asking.
