Also, I had an idea. Maybe someone can figure out how to do this without blowing up peoples' consoles.

You know how you have those double XP, Haloweenie, Team SWAT Tourney playlists and such. Could you, perhaps, make a roving recon helmet weekend? So, for example, for a weekend, maybe a long holiday weekend, you make it so that one player in each game played will randomly get recon, but just for the duration of that game.

So, if you play in matchmaking, one of the players will have recon, no way of knowing who it will be. If you play customs, with two people, one of you will have recon. If you play a game all by your lonesome, you will have recon, but there will be no-one around to see it.

It will be kind of cool. Because only the people who care will check their armor every round to see if they even have it.

On the down side it will increase the confusion about recon and people talking about it. But that hasn't seemed to have been much of a concern so far, why change now?

Stupid idea...probably.


that would be a bad idea. you would end up having a bunch of people b***hing about not getting it that round, then they would just piss everyone else off. Then there would be the idiots out there who think that as soon as they get it they re the best halo player ever and they won't stop talking about that. besides, it's only armor, some people have it, some don't. lets leave it as it is, i'm sick of people asking people if they can mod it to get it, or know how to get it or make up some incredibly idiotic scheme to get it which would probably end p in blacklisting for all involved. you have to think of it this way. if everyone had that "special armor" perm, then they would all be wanting the flame add on that bungie keeps for themselves and i don't blame them...they developed the game and spent a lot of time and energy working on it, they deserve something that no-one else has.
p.s. theese things should have spell checks added to the functions...then again the people who don't spell right wouldn't even use it then...i'm guilty of bad spelling too.

I have an educated question about getting the recon armor.

I'm not making this up.. I truely believe that I have stuff thats good enough to win the recon armor. The question is where do I post it? Now I know which forums to post pictures and videos in (halo 3 files forum), However, how can bungie get to my picture or video if everybody in the world posts after me which bumps my post to later pages.

I'm just curious to how this all works. Thanks.


Luck mostly, oh and post on random forums with links to your videos. Spam every website possible (besides this one of course ;) and advertise anywhere you can). That SHOULD help a little bit.


Thanks for the reply. I wish I could get an offical word for bungie on how they pick people but this reply is good enough. I don't blame them for not replying to my question because I look at all of the replies that these kids make and I wouldn't want to read replies either.. oh well. Thanks though. Peace

Now the the initial posting wave is over with, I have a few questions that I hope will be answered in an faq, maybe so next week is a little me... Interesting, maybe?
1. Are there any chances of seeing new weapons or vehicles in future maps?
2. Do the musicians behind the music in Halo 3 get Recon armor?

Bungie should have a montage contest for Recon Armor!

I am glad finally someone clarified how to get Recon, or at least sort of. The question is: what is something big enough to get Bungie's attention? I assume that anything we could do would have to be in the form of one of the things they mentioned us **not** getting recon (map, screenshot, game variant, etc.).

Does Bungie watch us in ways we don't know about or have no control over... Probably, but we will never know how those ways are.

Anyway, if anyone could either confirm or refute the fact that what "big enough" means does involve some type of screenshot, game variant, or the like?

  • 05.01.2008 3:54 PM PDT

Seriously, what is the big deal with you people and the "Re***" armor? It's just a perm that has absolutely NO EFFECT on gameplay. Getting that armor isnt what halo is about, its meant for you to have a good time (or more likely so bungie can get more money to fund their eventual goal of world domination...). If you can't play halo 3 without that armor, then seriously, get off, there aren't many people who enjoy hearing about Re*** on a weekly update frequently, it gets old pretty quickly, now please people, stop asking, im pretty sure if you keep it up you'll end up on the black list.

No Humpday in two weeks and no update yet and it's 9:22 Eastern. Top secret stuff is definitely afoot.

craaaaaaap.... i've definitely been muted before and i'm pretty sure thats what you mean by "voice ban" so i guess i'll never have recon.
:(

on the other hand, i probably never would have gotten it anyway and the stuff i said that got me muted was definitely worth the laughs.
