Subject: Bungie & april 1st.

okay, now we all know april is comming up, and we know what jokers bungie are. So what do you think bungie has instore for us on that day?????? seeing as its april fools day.

please post your opinions.

heres some ideas just to get the ball rolling....

- Giving us crucial information about the new map pack that is complete and utter random? lol how mean would that be.
- Announcing the next installment of their gaming chapter involving the adventures of the arbiter and donkey kong..... lol
- Recon for everyone just to remove it the next day, haha that would be sooo funny... especialy as so many people cry for it.
- Or maybe they replace all the weaponry with old poor quality stupid items, such as a giant biscuit as the energy sword or a donut as a trip mine. lol

The Recon for a day would be funny.

Or they could give you recon, but in game it looked like hayabusa.

Old school Bungie, born and raised,
In the Septagon is where I spend most of my days.
Relaxin', maxin', posting all cool,
Talking about Halo, life and some school.
Got in one little argument, and the mods got scared,
they said "You're gonna get banned and your member title'll be bare!"

Yes.

On a more serious note, wouldn't a Pimps at Sea group theme be awesome?

  • 03.02.2008 1:24 PM PDT

P@S Movie coming out this year. We need to get a teaser trailer or something of the sort..

So if you really want to get to know me, you're welcome to add me anywhere.

It's better to not speculate, because whatever it is is going to be so over-the-top, no one will be able to call it.

They have a remarkable history with April Fool's Day jokes.

Be prepared for anything.

Well atleast its a classic and a winning concept. If it aint broken why fix it eh?

Special titles like webcam and theme master should have a green or something background btw, dont you think.

ODSTs: Proudly dropping Feet First into Hell since 2525.

I've got it! They'll make up a fictional person (who sounds real) give them a complete bio, a spot on the Grizzled Ancients photo wall, nickname Ling-Ling.

They will then announce Forerunner: The Librarian Chronicles or a title of similar relatedness to Halo.

They will then have a "Look at Real Life Trivia"

Redmond was flooded with logger traffic and Washington is now the "Nevergreen State."

Sloans & Kenyon Auctioneers and Appraisers in Chevy Chase, Maryland reports a theft of their promotional window display and an abundance of throwing stars in its place.

End Real life trivia. To end it all, they'll have a .jpg of Mister Chief superimposed over Uncle Sam on an "I want YOU for 7th Column" poster.

I kind'a blog?

Because people still can't be bothered to read the rules, here's an FAQ regarding Recon Armor.

Recon armor topics and debates have recently become a full blown epidemic. In this case, any thread about Recon Armor will be met with a stern ban. Bungie has decided to use Recon as a means to either reward exceptional community members or any other way they see fit. Begging for it, selling yourself into slavery, hippo licking™ or posting every "leet" video that you've ever taken will not get you Recon Armor.

Let me also clarify this rule with another post.

If you were following the rules, your thread wouldn't have gotten locked.

If you want to find the source of your problem, locate a mirror. The rules apply to everybody - the mods aren't on a power trip because you happen to not like a certain rule.

Nothing about Recon armor ever needs to get posted. You can't have it, you don't need to know how to get it, we don't care about your complaints about how you can't have it, or gloating that you do have it. If you want to talk about it so bad, make a group where you can make it so that all threads have to be about Recon armor.

Additional: If you see a thread that is entitled "How do I get reconz?" or anything similar, if you reply to it, you're bumping a spam thread and keeping it alive. Under no circumstances are you to reply. Even if you intend well, you are ruining the forums by doing so and you will be blacklisted. If you want to tell the OP that their thread is off-topic, do so with a PM only. Thank you, you have been warned.





A mini FAQ about Recon:

What is Recon Armor?

Recon Armor is a special set of armor for Halo 3. It was originally given out to Bungie Staff and is a much sought after reward.

How do I obtain some reconz for me?

Posted By: Lukems
Following up on this, asking folks from Bungie or here on the forums if we'll give it to you is a pretty great way of ensuring that you won't. Go about your business, be good folks and be excellent to everyone. And I'd probably advise against behaviors that would augment your EXP in some fashion, as well. We're watching, making lists, checking them twice and doling out treats when appropriate.

I’m making a list, I’m checking it twice, and it’s a list of dumb messages (and perfectly polite ones) inquiring about the Recon armor permutation. The short answer to those inquiries is, “No, you can’t have it.” The people you see with the Recon helmet are Bungie employees, and they did nothing in-game to unlock it. There is nothing you can do to unlock it.

We’ll give it out based on good deeds and valuable community service and occasionally because they make us laugh, as seen above. There will be plenty of occasions and reasons to get it. PM-ing and emailing us will not make any difference. But play nice and be a good sport and who knows?

Where can I see this recon armor?
Follow this link to read Halopedia's article about it here. There are also other websites that feature pictures and tidbits of information about it as well, please pick your search engine of choice (google for example) and initiate a search for it.

Additionally using Bungie's own search feature and can look up previous topics about Recon.

Can I has recon!?

no u can not has recon or cheezburger!

Announcement of Pimps at Sea? Pshhh, you people are thinking small. We need a full on worldwide release on April 1st. Store ads, commercials, empty boxes, display stands, useable planks...

Then come April 2nd everything will disappear and no one will say anything and leave people guessing for months to come.
