exactly. its funny how people go out of there way to try to get recon. my friends have been on bungie favs and still didnt get recon. recon comes whenever something unordinary happens on halo. and like shiska said on the update there is a list of people who will most definately not get the recon (which is me included since ive been caught for "cheating" supposadly) so obviously they want to be -blam!-s and only give it out to random people they choose so stop begging and doing things for it. me and my clan even made a grifball variant for the community double xp weekend to change it up a bit cuz foundry gets a bit boring and still never got a message, compliment, or even awknowledgement by bungie, so if u really want recon just play halo and hopefully one day you play someone with a flaming helmet and get them to like you or just die in a really awkardly strange way and then ull get it (but that might take thousands of years!) lol

or just win one of the tourneys.

but recon isnt even that great, it may make you look cool but im still gonna pwn you no matter what!!!!!! hahahahahahahahahahahaha


good job on the maps though bungie, i really enjoy them.


but maybe if u didnt sell halo to microsoft so cheap u wouldnt be so strict with recon???? thats a thought.

Some folks have replied to my post with statements such as, "Do something for the community, instead of crying over recon." What you don't realize is that I have contributed to the community.

1. I was part of a group that hosted a Team SWAT tournament when that playlist first existed. I gave out $400 of my own money in prizes. 256, 4 person teams played in this tournament.

2. I also backed a team in MLG 2007. I paid money towards their travel costs, so they can go to the MLG events and compete in Halo. The team was the Girls in Action, mabye you've heard of them, their pictures are on MLGPro.com.

3. I sent out several Best Buy gift cards for contests my website ran based on Halo. Contest included "halo 3 non-playable character dialogue contest," and "halo 3 weapon or vehicle contest." Maybe you were a contestant in one of these. We had several thousand entries in the NPC Line Contest.

4. I've written some intelligent articles on Halo and posted them around the web. Done some real quality research work on the articles.

5. I hosted a website called H3Forge.com for a number of months. We were offering $25 gift certificates for maps and games that users submit that made it into the site playlists. Unfortunately, the site had very little traffic, maybe half a dozen maps submit in 3 months and we folded. But we tried, H3forge.com wasn't a success, but we did try.

Conclusion, I have done a lot for the community. I am not claiming that I have done enough to earn recon. Plus, most of those things were done through a website which had several Admins and Mods, not just me. But I was the one supplying the funds for the site and the tourneys, constests, sponsorships, etc. Frankly, I'm not sure what is enough to earn recon. I can say that I don't draw, don't make music, don't make Youtube videos, or any of the things that I've seen recognized so far. But I do try to use the skills that I do have.

I'm not asking for recon. I don't want recon. As far as I'm concerned Bungie can shove its recon up its ass. I just don't want to have to read any more articles that say, "Nyah, nyah, I have recon and you don't." I'm just tired of it.

EDIT: Sorry, just one more important point to add. Which is that I've never actually checked my profile to see whether or not I do have recon. Presumably I do not. But whether I personaly do or not, is not the point. I'm putting myself into the shoes of one denied recon when I post, trying to understand how they feel. Whether or not that is actually the case for me, I don't know. It probably is, but again, I wouldn't know, because I've never checked.
dude nice argument but these guys just haven't recognized all you've done for there crappy games... i really dont care about recon either but anyone who's done that much for this "community" really deserves that dumb amor. anyway just keep at and pretty soon you'll be rewarded for your good furtune.

...And miles to go before I sleep.

Shh! Your're too hard on yourself. I enjoyed the update. Thank you.

And thanks for your "Thank you" to those of us who bought...held...cherished...the new maps.
They are real nifty! I don't get to play as much as I would loke, but I did live up to my promise in an earlier note to buy point cards for my nephews if I did like them. Suffice to say, they are enjoying the maps now too.

Again, thanks.

What happens when, or in most cases, if you do make something chuckle-worthy, then it's still going to be hard to send it into you guys, because despite all of the time you spend with the community, alas, you can't view every video clip and screenshot. You could install some cyborg monkeys to plug into the wall and stream clips through their head, but I don't think you guys speak monkey. But if you do, can you teach me ? Please ?
Aside from learning monkey, is there any possible way of ensuring an amusing clip reaches your smiling eyes? (I'm not flattering you, someone's drawn smiling faces on your eyelids)
Or is it just a game of send it to one of the staff and being veeeeeeery patient ?
If you do read it, how will we know ? Oh the long line of questions!
I think I'll stop asking now, otherwise I'll find one of your Q&A pages full with this single message. Thanks for reading, if you read this.

the recon helmet is ugly....... i feel comfortable saying that b/c if they ever do give it out.... 95% of these kids will wear it.... which completely makes me not want it.....
the flame is the only cool part about bungie's armor...
i think its a huge case of wanting what they dont have and to be dare i say (7EET)
if bungies helmet was a flaming piece of crap with corn on it.... people would say its the sweetest thing ever.....

i'll be just fine with marathon and all the other variants....

ps. brother and cousin kid is sick in the head.... he needs his i.p blocked from halo all together on top of the "never" getting recon list.....
