Dude, i bet that kid is well.... lets just say not happy

  • 04.19.2008 2:17 AM PDT

That was a nice update, had fun reading about it.
I've never heard or seen anything of invisible Wraiths wraping (what a pun) people in the Free For All Playlist for the Legendary Mappack. I guess it must suck much :x

And that story about getting the Recon armor and the guy writing that it's for his dead brother/late cousin was pretty.. sick. It could be all true, it could be a lie, whatever. Still, it's so ignorant and foolish by that guy.

People like that guy who lied about their brother in combat just makes me feel sick! How low can you go just to try and get some armor for a video game its pathetic! I hope the person was banned from participating in any online game in the future on xbox live.

Nice update! Liked every single bit it, except from the Recon part. It's terrifying to see how far some people go to obtain some "pixels" which it basicly is. Hope this woke up those people who planned on obtaining Recon the same way, hope they realise it's of no use and it will only get you into more trouble!

  • 04.19.2008 2:39 AM PDT

My dog died today and he says I should have recon! HAAHHAHAAHAHa


People need to calm down sometimes,.

  • 04.19.2008 3:21 AM PDT

Great update guys, don't put yourself down just because you aren't Luke or Frankie (or should I say [O']conner ?) I really enjoyed it although the kid wanting recon was a bit twisted. Waiting on the next one (and more importantly the next podcast) should only be like a year or so right?

/me runs

This is update is far more important than you give it credit Sketch. Thank you for this.....seriously. I'm an avid fan of the forums and the flood from these posts were unreal. The "visuals" were something that needed to be addressed to end it, in my opinion, or the mindless chatter would go on forever. Gotta say thanks for the maps again, they rock!

-edit-

Just thought about it...

If that kid was asking for it as a charitable donation. Couldn't he be charged for defrauding a charitable organization?

couldn't agree more! Everyone wants the Recon, that's obvious. But when someone goes to that extent to get the armor, it just shows how sick and twisted some people are..
I've hoped for the armor myself because something happened to me with the laser (i have a vid on the fileshare) in a match that was really sick, but I didn't get it.. it's really hard..

I am amazed that someone would even think about saying that for a headpiece to put on a TV screen, that nobody ever notices unless they check your service record (which they DON'T) to see your stats. Imagine if you really did have a brother who died in war, or a cousin that died of (I forget that cause of "death"), so there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not to be dark, but I want [Omitted] to die in a horrible fire, then I will find where he was buried and PISS ON HIS GRAVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!



Hey, I like your figure, SketchFactor!

Acting like pre and post pubescent idiots who feel confident behind Internet anonymity? Even though it's applicable to the majority of our members, we ask that they not do that here.

What is so special about recon armor...?

Does it give you magical powers? Or does it spawn Chuck Norris to fight alongside you? What? I must know.

actuly in a recent fourm thet said to ask a bungie member once they are on your friend list

  • 04.19.2008 5:30 AM PDT

plug in to unplug

i know this sounds weird, but i dont want recon.
dont give me recon. not now, not ever.
even if i somehow earn it, which is a one in a million chance, and then, bungie, you commence to shove recon down my throat, i will not use it.
no recon. everevereverever.
thx bungie =)

  • 04.19.2008 6:27 AM PDT

Hello

That kid should be banned for lying like something like that, are there really people out there that desperate for recon, that they'd lie about a family members death to get it. That's sad.

Hello

Bungie shouldn't have even announced recon, it should have just been a secret known to exist only by those who have played bungie employees, then all this wouldn't be happening. I bet if one of the armours that nobody likes and uses, had been bungie exclusive, everybody would be going crazy over it. (Can I has Mark V).

lol I have been asking for recon but at least I didn't make up a story about my "dead" family... so I'll stop I don't want my name on "The List" but I do want to ask if any of you guys want someone to play with plz hit me up... I really want to get my name on yalls Friends List...no this is not bc I think that if I'm on ur friends list I'll be able to get recon.(to be honest I really don't care about the recon,I still want it, but like you said its just a video game visual but I do think that playing some slayer or CTF with yall on like a Humpday or even on a regular day would kick some serious ass. So hit me up...I'd rather not say my gt here so if you want to give my company a try then check out my file or msg me.

Thanks for clearing most of my questions about Recon! I still have one question though: Is it okay to recommend a video or something to the Bungie staff that's not yours? You know, like showing them something you found on Youtube that's becoming popular.

  • 04.19.2008 7:05 AM PDT

Stan~

BWAHAHAHAHA.

And complimenting your figure was my plan B :D

  • 04.19.2008 7:28 AM PDT

Don't ask about the name-- it's a long story

Rule 3: Coyping exactly or closely what someone else has done to get Recon.
Man, I was about to post my video of me shooting a fusion coil and propelling a traffic cone at my teammate. It didn't kill him, but there was sure a lot of blood. It took place in a Team SWAT match on the Pit (mathchmade).
What made it really lucky is that he was in the air. Plus he was moving perpendicular to the explosion. In addition, it was at the very beginning...
Oh well, my dreams of Recon have been crushed. Check it out on my File Share if you want. It should be up some time today.

EDIT: (poking some fun lawls at List members)
[jokes] Hey sketch, is it hot in here or is it just you? I can haz teh Recon? ZOMFG i ht meh frend wthi a trfc con! meh grandma kikd halo3 @$$ adn alwys wntd recon adn did ystrdy. can i haz it plox? [/jokes]
The first one was disturbing. And I wrote it!

You do have a nice figure though :D

I do have an actual question, though. Is the Wraith glitch on Avalanche the same instance where the top part of the Wraith (aka the large ass gun) appears near the gap in the middle of the map?

-EDIT- What happened to the -BLAM- filter? I was expecting one of the words above to get filtered... Oh well...
