"See the World thru my Scope"
"My kills are limited, only by my reloading time"

Where you say in the update
"If you don't see the maps, you can try to clear your Xbox 360's cache: From the Xbox 360 Dashboard, navigate to the System blade. Press Y on the HD symbol and then press X,X, Left Bumper, Right Bumper, X, X. If you did it correctly you will see a message saying: "Do you want to perform maintenance on your Xbox 360 storage devices?"

From the System you have to select "Memory "> then Hardrive, and Y

Users cannot press Y on the hardrive from the System blade, they have to select memory first

Hey John I am the same guy arguing against you from before and to counter your list I have made my own...
Posted by: Johnrap
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.



1. So what you hosted a game of S.W.A.T. you did not invent it, and in addition what you do with your money is not my concern if you wasted your life money on getting Recon I would say that does not change anything. Just because you spend money on a game does not matter, someone else will always spend more.

2. I know many people from MLG and even if I did not I don't think their that great. Besides MLG doesn't run bungie, bungie runs bungie. So helping MLG is not helping anyone else just MLG, I can honestly say that it I have not gained anything from this action.

3. Again what you do with your money is not my concern and making a fan site and holding contests is something that thousands of people do and no I wasn't in your contests I have never heard of your website

4. Define intelligent, that sounds more like a personal opinion you did not even go as far to tell us what types of articles you wrote about. Was it more fan fiction or did you go to the forums pick some random facts that you thought sounded cool and make a article?

5. Never heard of your site. Besides ever heard of forge hub? They make millions of maps and they get rewarded some of them have recon. Maybe instead of trying from scratch to make a new forge website you could have invested your time in already big websites and then you could learn how it is you should run a website. Then maybe you would learn from your mistakes and your site would not fail.

Conclusion you have done some things for the community but not as much as you think if I did exactly as you have done and a little more would I get recon? If that is true than just about everyone could and would have it. Keep on doing what your doing as far as drawing, making music and your you tube videos but that does not affect me all that you have mentioned as had minimum affect on me.

Maybe you really do not want recon or maybe you do but the world dose not revolve around you and neither does bungie. Maybe you do not want to read about recon but the majority of the community does and that includes me, if you don't believe me just read the rest of the posts on this forrum they would show you how far people go. If you do not want recon then why did you post the message above in to reply to what I said earlier.

EDIT: Do not take this personally John. For one I do not know you so I can't say that I hate you. Second I am not a recon obsessed researcher, I do want it as many others do, but the reason I post this is mostly because I love to argue and see what you have to say in reply.




P.S. Zombies are people too

i cant believe somone would do that for recon thats pathetic i mean if my sister went to iraq and died recon and halo for that matter would be the last thing on my mind its a pathetic scheme to get the armour i mean what about all the little brothers reading this thinking about their lost brothers they would be so mad at this guy its probably a good thing you ommited his name for privacy reasons and id hate to see his mailbox full of angry peaple out for blood
hopefully this isnt a common occurance

John who said you did not deserve recon? I am merely agreeing with you on how higher members of the community deserve it but not all do. I was just using you as an example of the close but not close group.

  • 04.23.2008 1:23 PM PDT

hehehe, thats pretty funny, it makes me sad that he would use this war to his advantage for a video game. But can you be put on the list for being blacklisted on the forums?

VERY cool UPDATE bungie. It's weird how far people will go to get that recon armor. I mean lying like that is kind of creepy. On a lighter note look at my service record for a very funny pic of mister chief his left eye is kinda weird cuz i ran out of magnums my gt is ELDIABL0 2342 the o is actually a zero. ENJOY!!!!!!!

Wow its amazing i thought recon armor was fake for so long cuz i looked on these forums for the truth forever, but to have Shishka make me look like an idiot makes it all better another thing for halo hardcore fans to go he*l yeah about... o and legendary brawl was so awesome this past weekend... more FFA challenges for the weekends would be very looked forward to. o and a comment on the remake map of lockout (blackout) love fixes in the across level sniping, from BR 3 to S3 and BR1 to S1.... genius... keeps down spawn kills and unfairness... to ne one that doesnt appreciate the changes think real hard on how -blam!- it would be to get sniped out coming up BR 3 to get a BR and dieing everytime... keep up the good work bungie...

I like the maps. also the part about recon. I would put my maps on my file share but people can just copy it put a wepon down save it and say it is theirs. I got out of every map. even the bran new ones.(lengendary) ya so that is annoying

Psycotron 21
Team Megadeth- 1,000,000 dead and many more to come

Johnrap, I wrote an earlier comment that was tangentially in response to your first list. The "what bungie should do" list sounded a little arrogant and maybe even whiny. However, after the attrocious grammatical mistakes of those who responded to you (let alone the pissed off tone), and your well formulated counter arguments, I now put you in a different light. I think you should give Bungie more credit, but I also understand you were not trying to say "Look at all I've done and I still don't have recon!". I think a healthy compromise between Bungie and the fans who disagree with their actions (such as yourself), would be for bungie to write a less arbitrary definition of a "good community member". Then again, charity (which is exactly what the armor is) should always be given by the choice of the charitable. You have to remember that Bungie compromised by giving out the armor at all. I think it is steep to claim that it is Bungie's "ethical responsibility"

Long Live the Ellipsis...

BELIEVE

There is no spoon.

THE CAKE IS A LIE!

Psycotron, I could not have phrased it better myself. Bungie doesn't need to give armor to anyone, so all who desire it should be glad that there is even a slim chance that you may receive it...

On another note, I would like to thank you for using proper spelling, grammar, punctuation, etcetera for it stands out, and is a courtesy all too often forgotten in these halls of the Internet. Some peoples' posts quite literally hurt my eyes to read, but yours are well-formed, well-thought, and well-said.

Thank you.
