1 question about the Recon Armor Achievements.

About a year ago BUNGiE stated that boosting or any form of cheating would get you blacklisted from receieving Recon Armor. BUNGiE also stated that once you are blacklisted you will never receive Recon. Even if Recon became available for everybody you still wouldn't be able to get it. I was wondering, since Recon is linked to the new achievements. Is it still a blacklisted item?

Can Bungie please give us some updated info on this.

Hey top of page 3. You didn't say I couldn't say that. LOL

-Meh

So if I went over to Jerome and somehow disarmed him (lure him with a cupcake), he would start to strut? Or does he already strut?

I now have a nagging feeling that Sandbox isn't the amazing superforge we've been hoping for...

He does. And he doesn't need a weapon. Dude fought a bear with his bare hands.

I am the hand of fate!

I think that's the best update I've seen in the 8 months I've been here. Thanks for all the info.

Thank You, again, for your Brute Chieftain Pimp story.

And, will at least 1of the 7 Vidmaster Achievements be difficult to unlock. Please.

The Brute Pimping part was hilarious. I wish you had a vid to show us.


So do I.

But I was pleasantly surprised that you actually had stuff to tell us about the MMP and H3:R in your weekly update, instead of just babbling on about nothing. I'm really excited!

I'm really going to miss jumping ten feet off the ground.

Awesome update. Very lengthy too; I didn't expect all of that information about ODST, so I found that pretty awesome. I got a laugh from the Chieftan part of the update.

And any "first page" or "2nd" or whatever replies after mine will result in a blacklisting.

The epitome of immaturity.. Good update although mildly unnerving..

Coming from the guy who was breathing on urks shoulder for like 30 mins just so he could be first.lf you are going to ban us for off topic discussion then what are you doing right now?

And yes, 3rd page.

  • 01.16.2009 3:58 PM PDT

Its G-A-C! not GACK! Although gack is some awsome stuff.

Bungie patch the Plasma Pistol to a 15 shot kill when shot normally plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!

Ok, first of all I want to say that was a great update happy to see the game is going along great. I can't wait!

But secondly, what actually made me get my lazy ass typing was the comic genious of the whole brute pimp shinanagins! Seriously, I could not stop laughing at "Taking back the streets" and the other ones.

So I whole heartedly say, Achievement Unlocked, "LMAO"

Some nice bits of information there. Enjoyed reading.

I wonder how long Luke spent on that drawing? I can't work out whether he spent quite a bit of time, or no time at all...


I spent as much time as my schedule allowed, i.e. almost none.
The only time consuming part is picking out the colors since I'm colorblind.

Hey did that Pimpin' Brute happen to be singin' "I'm a Hustler Baby?"

Another great update, full of plenty of win!!! Oh, and Urk, you did a good job holding your own in last week's podcast... bravo.

  • 01.16.2009 4:26 PM PDT

LONG LIVE THE BRUTE PIMP CHIEFTAIN!

I will not be buying Halo Wars, exspecially the Special Edition to get the Mythic Pack early. A bad game is still bad no matter what you throw into it. I'll be waiting for the XBLMarketplace release.

Photoshop CS2! Bungie sure is getting into that fancy software. :P

Well it's definitely intriguing and is probably going to get a lot of folk speculating like mad, so thanks for taking the time!

I can't wait for some more details to be revealed about this particuar map...

The Brute Pimp, oh yeaaah.

Just a question, how come there is no weapon being wielded in your fantastic drawing Lukems?

Achronos: And what's this about a "design team" I've been hearing? Apparently stosh is so awesome he's now considered a "team".
