…Will NOT get you Recon. They will, however, earn you varying levels of ire, and two of those (Lying and Cheating) will get you on The List. And now that you know about The List, perhaps you should rethink your Recon strategy if you’ve been going about it the wrong way: Un Quote

THANK YOU!!!!!

Hopefully people will finally understand what NOT to do

what kind of sick loser says something about a brother dying in iraq or a cousin dying its just pathetic and disturbing my brother really did die in iraq but you dont hear me saying that and begging for recon and no im not lying and no im not saying this to get recon all im doing is making a point that it is sick and discusting to lie about something as horrible as that just for some armor in a video and also dont get me wrong i would love to have recon but i want to do it the honest way not by lying or cheating or any of the other ways mentioned up above and deffinetly not by doing something like that one person did

i have a question for bungie by the way if you could send something to my message center about my question that would be awesome



will we get put on the one "ban from recon" list if we say we think somebody else deserves it?

  • 04.19.2008 1:49 PM PDT

E4web


People who are banned from Matchmaking for any period of time are on The List.


Just a question but, does this include those who were seemingly illegitimately temporarily banned for having bad connection problems?

Also, that was pretty low and desperate of that person to lie about the deceased just for some game visuals.

Not to mean anything just for recon but it is just armor? I mean lol? Sometime armor has disadvantages too most armor gives away your position like E.V.A armor but I dont get whats so special with recon. Unless it has some camoflagged ability then I will want it too but I do just fine with scout and C.O.B. armor. Also to the rest of people following the rules have fun playing watever game. Hope you guys make a halo 3 movie or something like that.

Sketch... on the Recon stuff... and no this is not a request, but I was merely curious how people are suppose to (or in the other cases) how you are suppose to come across an amazing clip? Basically, what is the procedure for that?

I asked Jmethod ONCE how he got Recon, I hope that didn't post me on the list

P.S: If I ever meet a bungie employee and I compliment him or worship him, do NOT think I want Recon. It's nice, but I WILL NEVER ASK FOR IT.



By the way, good update. KEEP IT UP!!

That is horrible to lie about such a thing as a close family member being killed overseas. Wow, someone must be really desperate.

Dear Bungie,

I am disappointed that the level of your favorites has dropped. I mean common are you guys not receiving enough screenshots or something? take for example the the VIP one with the purple EOD helmet guy reloading a rocket launcher, its just that, some guy reloading a rocket launcher surrounded by exploding sand on a mongoose! and the Death Hog one that has already been on the favorites isn't that cool except for some of you that pass out when someone shows you a picture of a recon helmet. Seriously its just a helmet, get over it, go do something with your life, you only get one.

I really hope you guys make Halo trilogy movies like the "Lord of the Rings", but plz stick to the story (especially the film clips throughout the game), use good actors, and have AWESOME special effects.

Great Update. The Part about getting on the "banned List" was great. Also, the story the guy wrote on getting Recon was probably the worst thing I've ever read. It's insulting to see what lines people can cross for something so small. At the end of the day it's just another armour. It won't make you a better player, which should be the main focus of any Halo player. Get better at the game and enjoy it, Play it like it was ment to played.

I also think that user should get banned for using such a story. What our forces do over sees for our country(s) shouldn't be looked at as a joke. Family's have lost so much sending there loved onces to defend our country(s).

Again, Great update. Look forward to next week. Keep up the good work.

why are you all kissing there butts for recon?
i mean, what did Sketch just say?

  • 04.19.2008 4:01 PM PDT

Komichiwa! ^_^

Exactly, to be honest although yes recon would be lovely, i for one dont mind, i enjoy halo for what it is. and to be honest getting it for 'being killed by a streetcone' is complete chance. i hardly think anyone would set that up. I play halo and enjoy it, i will continue to do so. If such strange killings happen then it will be by chance but im not going to beg for it, AND SAYING ABOUT DEACEASED REALTIVES IS JUST SICK. plain n simple. Recon wont improve your game and to be honest you'll probably get sick of it and not wear it. Someone i know won't because he gets asked so often by so many people he cant enjoy the game. If people just stopped asking and just played the game like it was made to be. Then the community would benefit alot.

Peace out ^_^ Loving the new maps, and cos i havent ever played halo1 or 2 i see them as completely new. Blackout is teh pwn ^_^ avanlanche confuzzels me, dunno why >_<
