Hmm, the end of the Halo 3 ARG was west of the Mississippi, and so is this. I'm sorry, but this is rather disappointing, especially coming from a person who rarely complains. Based on what I've researched, the majority of the XBL users (in the US) reside on the eastern side of the United States, so one can only assume that the majority are Halo fans.

I would like to see bungie actually reach out to the entire US if not the world for the whole recon thing. A contest, if you will. Something that doesn't require going on road trips or spending an excess amount of money for some silly armor (mind you that I am fond of it). An internet scavenger hunt, to find this "bungie employee" would be much more exciting and much more open to the public, and especially to those who supposedly deserve recon.

I'm sorry to say, but how does Bungie expect to conquer the world if they can't do the minor things, like completely reaching out to their community and giving them all an equal chance?

I apologize, but I just feel like I'm being cheated here.



I feel ya man, but maby this member is going to Disney Land for a family trip and has no plans on going to the east. (he'd prob get hustled or run on by some kids from Queens or Delphia).

But i do see your point, they should just create a fair way or comp for everyone to participate in so those who truly want this hard to come by feature have a fair shot at it.

And your right, more people in the East play Halo 2 and 3 then in the West, i mean look at the map in MM its always lit up at all times of the hour.in the East.

I took your GT down bro, so if par chance (which is such a long shot) i run into whoever this culprit is giving out the FORBIDDEN i will give him your GT. COO ?

By the way i have an twitch feeling that this CULPRIT who's GIVING OUT THE FORBIDDEN will be in the Southern California Area, enjoying our Beautiful weather we are having.

"Seems to me you should spend less time on that article and more time working on that novel you've been working on!!!"

Ha, thats hilarious! Ya if I find you in Yuba City, I will be surprised. There isn't much to do here, so I'd wonder why you are hanging around in Yuba City lolz. May the poor little charlie kid, who somehow has an xbox live account, 360, and halo 3, win his golden ticket... [aka Recon]

And when someone spots you, what happens after you sign them off? Does a black van fly out of nowhere with suited men, who take you to the van and drive away quickly from the scene before anyone else sees you? This is great, someone needs to make a post after this is all over about how they found you and obtained their Recon. I think it will be an interesting read, especially if it's someone whos been scouring the continent to find you or something.

I love the idea of now having a true reason to carrying Halo 3 with me everywhere I go, and now gives me a better reason to try to put the Legendary edition helmet on.

Out of all the weeks of working in the back of the store, it will happen next week and I won't even know. Maybe my brother and friend will help at work?

Three games, three people, Triple-win? I just like the idea of holding onto Halo 3 everywhere...everywhere.

Hm...
Minnesota is west of the Mississippi, but I don't know if it's a little too far north...
And even if this unknown Bungie person comes here, I'm not going to the Mall of America every day.

I'm quoting this, because I think it's an important question.

I have one question. Do we bring the whole box with the manual and the disc or do we bring just the disc?

  • 07.03.2008 9:21 PM PDT

well do you think you'll come to the east in fall of 08 or spring 09?

  • 07.03.2008 9:24 PM PDT

If it's worth doing, it's worth over doing!

man at this rate, everyone will have recon. I say just wait it out till the day they put the unlocking code on marketplace for download, either for space bucks or free.

And i don't think anyone is actually going to find him. They will either just come across him by luck, or he will stop into where someone works. just keep the game with you, and keep an eye out. (Stupid living in MD.........)

Oh and the purpose of marking the disc is to prevent multiple give outs. it so he knows you got it, and can't get it again

Hopefully nexy Friday's Weekly Update shows the whereabouts of that Bungie Employee and the destinations (s)he where at. Surely the Bungie Community would like to see and possibly hear some feedback from the lucky few winners (anonymous of course!).

If it's worth doing, it's worth over doing!

oh and Dark Killer, i looked at your group, and he says that you can't point out his position, else you void the challenge. Plus it's one recon per person, so you can't give him a list of GT's

Kind of kills the groups purpose.....

Yeah, right. I'm gonna look like a fool carrying around a Halo 3 box in public just to get some lame armor.

And what's with the "fierce threats of beatings" crap? We've seen you, you couldn't even beat yourself up.
