What is THE LIST

Komichiwa! ^_^

You Dont even WANT to KNOW. lol :P

Out of interest, because i only came online for halo 3 in february. When did all this madness about recon come about? because im suprised how extreme people can be to get it. And because that seems 'SLIGHTLY' desperate to me, id guess its been going on for a while.

Also does anyone know what goes on in the mind of the many 'Extreme recon seekers ERS'(As i call them) <----- Rhetorical question :P

Silly kids. Recon is for smart people. <-- Damn im out then (Lol)

Bungie, i'm not a fan of the new lockout(blackout), you guys pretty much changed the whole map i'd say the only thing that's the same is the layout(somewhat). All of the angles for shooting are way different and the ledges in the middle are way to high. On top of that you guys took out so many of the shortcuts and the most important thing is that you put a window in the library! The map is ruined!

Man dont complain. The maps wont impress everyone but the staff work hard. They do what they thinks best. It may not suit all but still. dont just criticise at least compliment aswell or offer constructive criticism.

I have a really funny video, just your ordinary owning noobzzz

  • 04.19.2008 4:49 PM PDT

And I dont understand, In all the weekly updates, how come the pics have nobody wit recon, ya think bungie would have put a pic in there all ready (no offense Bungie )

  • 04.19.2008 4:53 PM PDT

I cant believe that guy said all that just to get recon. Creepy. Otherwise another cool update.

  • 04.19.2008 5:04 PM PDT

I am Slayer750 on Xbox Live!!!

I made an awesome race course on Rat's Nest along with its gametype. I am wondering how I could get into onto Bungie Favorites. I'd really appreciate it if someone could inform me. Thanks in advance.

  • 04.19.2008 5:06 PM PDT

desperate. all that for a helmet? when will they learn? besides, i think that the fewer people that have recon the better. at least then, when I meet one I will know that they have earned through some great/hilarious act and I can ask how they got it. Then, hopefully they would show me a brilliant video or screenshot.etc... I'd rather have an xbox crammed with great screens/vids to show my friends than that dreaded armour.

ok first of all most of the people out there with recon did something to cool or funny to get the special armor so who ever reads this sould either stop trying to fool bungie or if you did do something you think is special to get the armor try to send it arround the community or tell a bungie employee about it and maybe they will give it a look at but i dont really know why everybody wants it i sniped my self in the face but you dont see me going on a big rant about it because i truthfully dont care about the armor

  • 04.19.2008 5:14 PM PDT

Heh heh... I've done that too. at first I was outraged, but the humour behind the self inflicted headshot got to me eventually

To get away from the Recon discussion, did I see something about SWAT?


From Update:
The MLG Playlist is available in Halo 3 interested parties under the Community section – before it moves to a new resting place beside Team SWAT under the Hardcore heading in May.


We'll see.

  • 04.19.2008 5:22 PM PDT

SWAT will be added to the hardcore playlist... I think. it was in last weeks update

...Well this sure was a depressing update. It starts off well and ends up with some community member insulting the whole community and his family by lying to us and using the dead to fullfil his own selfish needs... That makes me glad, sad, and mad all at the same time. Glad for the update, sad for the kid's family and friends, and mad for the lies. Mixed emotions sure are something else.

lol Good stuff about the recon lol...... BTW if any ninjas read this can you forward to the guys who worked on the Camo for the stuff on Avalanche? You guys did a good job. And i like to report a bug so where do i do that?

  • 04.19.2008 5:44 PM PDT

You'd probably shoot back if i wasn't T-bagging your dead body.

I <3 Avalanche. I dun <3 MLG... You hAz lovely body, now i can hAz re... o w8.

When I turn my 360 on go to matchmaking, it says every time that I don't have the maps. All I do is go to the Theater lobby and wait for it to load my recent film clips and such. Then, when I go into matchmaking, it works. So you don't necessarily have to clear out your cache.

If I'm wrong, just ignore this.

I do belive you forgot another way to not get Recon, infact, it was written up here on the site...

"“So these guys never get Recon, right?”
“I think they put a baby in us.”"

Any person to have the AoR tag will never get recon :(

I would just like to say that to the noob who tried to get recon by saying his brother then his cousin died is an idiot. I mean its a graphic on a vidio game. dont get me wrong halo 3 is the best game ever made. And honestly i think he should be banned from live forever just for doing something that stupid.

Thanks for choosing to whine over being a productive member of the community and possible element towards advancing Reach.

I think people who cheat on Live deserve the Recon armor more then that slime ball.
