“Hi I lost my recon armor and frank connor said I should message u to get it back”
lol The only thing that woulda made that more funny was if they sent him a message back saying. "Sure I'll send it right over." lol. But the second one about the cousin made my blood boil.

There are only two things I hate in the world. People intolerant of other peoples cultures, and the Dutch


Don't hate my hands just cause they smell of cabbage.

i don`t even care about recon all i wish is to have fun on halo3 not just brag about recon because only reason some people have it because they really need it so they can brag but i`m not that type i would be glad to have recon but i don`t need it because i`m fine with what i have i`m just mad that everyone on my friends list needs it they keep on asking for it that y i`m like recon is just like regular armour who cares so i don`t care if i get recon or not or get banned for a day because i`m just glad to play halo 3 and make some maps.. ps.how do people mod u should put systems that watches people forge maps so they don`t mod because my friend on xbl has a modded map called modzzzzzzz on last resort

"they said this day would never come; what are they to say now"

Truth

bungie shouldn't bash their fan base like this calling out some people. It is irreverent that some people are ignorant and others are just to young to understand.

as to quote what was written, "we know who should have it and shouldn't have it".

hey that's find with me, but do you have to sound so absolute? Seriously.

Thanks for the update.

so if your making a list of who has it, who doesn't, and who will never...this seems to indicate that sometime in the future you do plan to give to a mass number of people otherwise i would see no reason for the last list...it seems to me that their would be not much of a point to the third list if recon were to remain a very very rare commodity...the chances of a person on the 3rd list to get it would be so slim it wouldn't be worth keeping track of

That whole recon thing is pretty sad, not only the lying and stealing for it, but the begging too.
Seriously, I would bet that if bungie put just that armor up for download for like ten bucks, they would make over a thousand bucks in the first day. People are completely missing the point of recon, it is to show others that you contribute to the community, not that you can get on your knees and whine, cheat, steal, and lie for it. Seriously, stop aiming for it and just do some things, if word gets to bungie that you did something amazing, you will probably be rewarded.
By the way, since when did bungie need a naughty and nice list, I wonder if I will see Sketch or Lukems at the mall in a red suit next winter.

"Gimme sumthin' ta shoot, sarge..."

Hey all, Pv2. Benton with the 4th SUS BDE outta Camp VIrginia, Kuwait.

This is my *EDIT* one of my *EDIT* first posts on the forums, so I'd like to say "hello" to all, and that this website rocks my socks. I've been an avid Halo fan since CE, and I'll probably stick with the series 'til the end of my days.

I just wanted to throw in my 2 cents real quick about the nameless wonder-boy who thought it would be a neat idea to claim dead military relations in an attempt to get recon.

Having lost 2 great friends since the war began, I was more than a little disgusted after having read this article. I am offended, insulted, and angry that someone would actually think to stoop to that level over something like recon armor.

I feel, that not only has this individual rightfully been placed on the No Recon list, but that a further example should be made by banning him for a short while from online play.

Perhaps I'm being a bit harsh, but frankly I don't give a rat's rump. If you're gonna play dirty pool, then expect to get a cue-stick sans chalk where the sun don't shine.

Just thought I'd throw that out there. Thanks for all you do Bungie. Stay safe, keep up the good work.

ok I got a question...

I dont really care for the recon armor nor do I know what it looks like. But, was this armor something that was supposed to be unlocked in the game but for some error, it wont unlock? Since that was the case, bungie choose to hand it out to certain people or something?

I dont want to finish the rest of my question till I get a better understanding of the armor. Sorry for the dumb question but I was curious

Wow, I can honestly say this was the most entertaining update since work started on halo 2. Whoever wrote this should get a section of the weekly update EVERY week.

Honestly, I liked it better then the updates that have actual info!

Last time I got shot I got a purple heart, Mabey this time I'll get a purple lung, then I can start to build my own purple person and he'll be my friend.

Hello, my gamertag is [Omitted] and my names [Omitted], im 15 and live in Michigan.

Anyways, I'm a big fan of Halo, as a matter of fact i sold my PS2 o buy a Xbox, Halo2, and Xbox LIve. I spend so much time on this game. It's my life. Just last week my older brother who is 21 deployed to Iraq. Last Monday he died in action, ='(. It's been miserable these last few days.

Now, this is not a lie, my brother who also played Halo wanted Recon. He would always be like "I wish i had it" BlahBlahBlah.

Ever since he passed, I've been thinking of ways to remember him. And it hit me, Recon Armor. Now, Now, I know what you're thinking: "Some other little kid asking for Recon" One, i could care less about the armor, I just want it to honor my brother who died fighting for us. =( This is not a pathetic attempt to get that dreaded armor. I know you will probably block me, or just flat out ignore me. But, before you do just please put yourself in my position and think about it. It would mean so much to me. And more than likely i wont receive the armor, could you at least reply explaining why? It's not a lie what kind of sick person would lie about something like this for video game armor?!

Once again, please don't just ignore it. and at least reply. If you even read this which i doubt.

Please consider this.

Thank You, Sincerely [Omitted] ='(

this person should consider joining his brother... but i really should not say those things...

I think you should give the kid recon. I mean he put the time aside to write a messages to you then sat on it for a couple of months, came back with some even whacker story. Which coincedently made it onto the weekly update, spreading through the community like a bad disease. He acheived something wicked nasty, and by your books that deserves reconz, He made me laugh.

yeaaaaaaaaah, avalanche is awesome
imo it's the best BTB map ever
fast paced action, no matter if in the air or on the ground, in a vehicle or with a power weapon, despite beng the biggest halo map, it's always only a few steps into the action because of the mancannons
3 slight flaws though
1) no prowler - imo one chopper should be replaced with a prowler in asymmetric games
2) the teleporters should be one-way only, bringing you only out of the base and not vice-versa
3) the invisible wraith thing - why can't you release a fix for the map pack, i don't wanna have to make my own version of avalanche for customs just because of this, because my 360 is b-blam!- with custom content, and i like to be able t just select the original map and play
not that tragic, but i guess it could be easily patched

LOL @ dumb kids
one question though: will forum bans or blacklisting keep me from getting recon, even if you give it tro everyone?
oh and is this even legal? not giving content that's on the disc and that people paid for to people unless you like them...i bet you could be sued, 'cause anything is possible in the united states of idiocracy...nothing personal against you americans but seriously, a woman sued mc donalds because her coffee was too hot and she got second grade burns when she accidentally poured it onto her lap...and she won the lawsuit..that's the stupidest thing ever
i'll bet now the cups of mc donald's in the usa have a sign that says "caution - HOT - do not pour on lap" similar to the microwaves sign ("do not use to dry pets")

Edit: what is wrong with the word "b r i m m i n g" so that it has to be censored??

We've also heard of a few reports of people experiencing map issues related to something else entirely. While we're still investigating, it would appear that people who have the maximum amount of content items for the game along with Heroic and Legendary may end up having issues loading the new maps. The maximum limit is 50 screenshots and 100 total combined content items like films, clips, game variants, maps, etc... If you're at this limit and experiencing map problems, try deleting one of your custom content items. We're digging deeper into the problem but our initial tests show that seems to do the trick.
You're just now looking into this...I do quite a lot of custom pics plus map making (many are FFA favs) and you're saying you're now looking into these problems.
Pics are deleted fairly soon after they're taken, so those aren't issues unless it's related to this site. 0_0
Look forward to reading in the future about what is being done or was done to fix these so called "issues".
