New Marathon? Thanks Bungie!

Posted by: AgentExeider
Because its still a year away, I'm hoping this might have a chance to be put on the drawing board. But please can we have new armor pieces for both the Spartan and Elite.

And here's is the biggie, There should be some kind of equivalent to the Katana for the elite to wear on his back. I worked very hard to earn the base achievements for Halo 3, and while it was cool and got the Katana, and the security helmet. I am an elite player, so it's kinda moot.

Don't get me wrong I think its cool to have the Katana, its just I wish there was a Elite-themed item to also work for and wear.

hope this is early enough to be put on the drawing board.

I dont remember Bungie ever ruling out the possibility of giving it away to everybody in fact I remember them saying something like, "even if we would give it out to the whole world [those ppl that r banned] wont get it"

Like Halo 2. Like Halo 3 even better. I prefer a good match with not much trash talking and I'm laid back and easy going.

You hard workers of the gaming design and production universe sure know how to make a hell of a meeting I bet. Well most times the best day to start is a day with a smile and a laugh. When / Wheres your next meeting. I'll pay.

Not a bad update and I'm glad to see that there will be some obstacles in attaining recon armor. Seems like every Friday when I log in I hope to see some pictures of the new maps, but apparently the time will come.

Wow, that looked like a good steak.
Thanks for the clarification and everything guys, I was getting lost in the hundreds of threads with random content in the forums.

So the Armor is becoming the new Hayabusa? God... thats going to get old really fast.

Those pictures are hilarious. BTW I like to refer to people that wear a bluetooth earpiece everywhere 24/7 as bluetools.

I hope it won't be 60 bucks for it since it'll be 3-5 hours long.. I hope it'll be more like 20-30.

i just rofl-ed all over myself :)

Nice update, but i hope that people who earned recon get a new permutation or something, because bungie undoubtedly is. they earned the right to be better, they shouldn't be made normal again....

Great update! It really clarifies a bunch of things, one question I do have is, if everyone has access to the Recon permutation, will there still be an unachievable armor for Bungie employees and special members of the Community?

Call me Rdog, not RdOG or RdOG1507. I made that username when I thought it was cool to use alternating capital and lowercase letters...

Why, oh why would you make recon available to all players?!?

if everyone will be able to get recon, it wont be amazing anymore. what makes recon shine is that its rare armor that only chosen people can get. if everyone starts to wear them, it'll be the next hayabusa.

I agree. I'm sure that everyone who actually earned Recon in the past isn't happy about it either because it's not special at all. I never got it, and even I can realize that you guys basically turned Recon into a joke. I'm all for having another set of armor as a reward, but you basically turned a grand reward into well... nothing now. Yeah it still has to be "Earned", but still.

  • 11.14.2008 10:27 PM PDT

ahhh so the people who got recon armor by doing something for it will basically did it for nothing?

  • 11.14.2008 10:27 PM PDT

dost though understandest me?

wow that as a very enlightening update. I have always thought that the recon armoor looked awesome. Now it is finally mine!!! Although the fact that everyone can get it it will dilute the sheer impressiveness of it. Everyone and their brother will be running around with recon

Not necessarily, some people did things for the Community without expectations of receiving anything in return, the armor was just a bonus.

I like how there is one guy in the first picture who's wearing run down running shoes, while everyone else is sporting footwear of the shinier type :)

I can agree with what these kids are saying, but I think Bungie might be thinking that since you've stuck with them for as long as you have, you deserve a cool armor. A varitable reward for loyalty. Am I wrong?
